Marlon Marco Brando António

Tendo eu relembrado há dias o meu fascínio juvenil pelo papel de Marlon Brando no Marco António do "Júlio Cesar" de Mankiewics, de 1953, apraz-me ler no Economist esta passagem sobre o mesmo filme:
«Then he [Brando] played Mark Antony in "Julius Caesar" (1953) and the cynics were silenced. The scene in which he enters the senate after Caesar's murder, acknowledging none of the conspirators but gliding regally past as if they did not exist, points vividly to the play's denouement. For this, credit Marlon Brando, not Shakespeare. Ask if Rod Steiger, James Dean or Paul Newman, who all, like Brando, graduated from the Method school of acting, could have matched his Mark Antony, and the answer is a definite no.»
