Cred to Willy boy:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest– For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men– Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.

Brando beasted that monologue
Thanks Fren...I needed that 👍🏽💥
The St. Crispin's Day speech in Henry the Fifth brings me to tears every time I hear it.. 😘

What's the context? Marc Antony wasn't seriously praising the death of Caesar and putting over the assassins. The Goal was to turn the people to being enraged against the actions of Brutus and the corrupt ie Deep state through his clever eulogy. I might be reading the intent of your post incorrectly, if that's the case please pardon my feedback; however, I think the metaphors you are evoking are misplaced. Caesar being more like Trump and his assassination being more like the DS steal and deconstruction of his character in the public eye. Caesar is not deepstate in this story.
LOL, its a meme.
Zero comparison intended between the narrative in Julius Caesar and any current events.
Rather, it is simply borrowing the shakespeare motif to offer a meme that promotes or shares the Great Awakening. That's it.
Just borrowing Will's language here. It's poetic. This is simply an artistic, literary exercise, and any other comparison should be disregarded.
Edit: the meme works by using well-known drops from Q. "You have more than you know" , "The world is watching" etc.
I appreciate the follow up. The meme should work by being concise and by being accurate to its source. While concise to a message, the memes creator does not appear to have read Shakespeare; or at least missed the subtleties from the scene the quote is taken from.Marc Antony is not actually asking for the people to celebrate the death of the "deep state" if you understand the rest of Act 2 and Act 3. The meme is not good because it is not accurate. It's inaccuracy is either on part of ignorance or intentional. Before down voting please ask yourself what makes an effective meme and possibly look into the source material it is referencing. Godspeed.
You're more than welcome to your opinion.
This is nothing more than art.
Sadly, you don't really have the context in which it sits. I view the meme in a context different to the one you appear to be inferring.
This meme has nothing to do with Marc Antony, but like I said, you're certain welcome to your opinion.
I would suggest perhaps not being too rigid in your view regarding "what makes a good meme". Remember, the Communists judged everything based on whether it supported or upheld "the Revolution". Everything that, in their view, did NOT advance the revolution was considered decadent, bad and wrong. aka "not good".
But yeah, nothing wrong with having an opinion, or with sharing it. no downvote from me, pede.
I definitely won't down vote you haha. In fact, I may have up voted your 4:40:400 related post. That's insightful stuff.
While I did not call the meme bad, and it is not good. Championing the meme because it advances a Q sentiment despite being inaccurate and if examined further may serve to undermine the message. This should matter and if it doesn't it may borderline on the secular when approaching art. Things do have meanings and it is important for us to try to understand those meanings.
Here's an example: What does a Rainbow signify? Is it a handshake between God and Noah OR is is just a symbol of the gay mafia inclusivity? How many people today know the former more over the latter? Less than there maybe should be and there in lies danger with not in ignorance. (Although in the gay mafia does this intentionally to subvert and invert the original symbol, I think).
The meme above almost inverts the original meaning of the quote. This is why it is not good. And yes there are a such things as bad memes ... Have you seen the Left try to meme? Lmao 🤣
Try to imagine that Q is saying this, and not marlon or not antony.
Thanks for sharing your view.
How is it inaccurate. It's only inaccurate because of the particular framework that you choose to apply to it. The lens you are applying is what makes it inaccurate.
Now, remove your your glasses and look again. you might find something you didn't see previously.
Also, "bad memes". Well, I never said there aren't poor, crappy or bad memes. I only said that your particular definition or view of what makes for a good meme may be less than omniscient, absolute and the height of correctness.
I mean, surely you are welcome to your view, and to express it, but personally I think its foolish to overly discount the fact that you simply don't get it, most likely because you put TOO MUCH STOCK in your own view.
Myself, I'm actually pretty happy with the series. If only one other pede is uplifted, inspired or feels joy, I'm actually ok with that.
Cheerio.
"Marc Antony's rhetorical address to the Roman people is a persuasive argument against Brutus and the other conspirators, an address that discredits them. Rather than acting nobly, Antony argues, the assassins killed Julius Caesar in order to gain the power for themselves."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0UYvn7J_jY - from the History channel. The HBO/BBC show Rome didn't feature this poem; however the reaction scenes from the Citizens of Rome recounting the events is priceless. I tried to find that scene too, but atlas YT and others weren't so cooperative. That said, I would highly recommend the HBO/BBC show Rome if you have not watched it already. :)
Have you seen any of my other Shakespeare memes (graphics)?
As much as I loathe the phrase, I won't loathing sharing it with you. Suppose we can "agree to disagree", but if I may ask - With me choosing to read the meme through the spirit of the time as well as the spirit of the depths for my context; what context are you choosing to read it in because I found my relatively objective and not so quick to abandon its "spirit of the depths" roots in service of making the message more applicable in the "spirit of the time". The particular framework(s) I have chosen reflect the quote's original context coupled with a current day interpretation - because what else would I have to naturally go off of ? If I may ask another question without looking to demean your character or the discussion itself; have you read "Caesar" by William Shakespeare? Sharing quotes in service to a Message, out of context, in spite of its original meaning ( and yes if you are taking its context from how it is understood in the play, then it certainly could appear to be in spite) are tactics I feel the left/communists use. Although I do not think you to be either of two , Friend; you may understand my continued engagement in our conversation concerning this particular post. :)
Thanks again for your time. God Bless.
"Agreeing to disagree" is really the starting point for real communication. Divergence in viewpoint - different perspectives - are originally intended (by our creator) to yield greater insight, greater learning, and expanding awareness.
The Enemy is the one who takes difference in views, and putting ego, selfishness and all of our fallen nature in the forefront, seeks to use those things to undermine and create division and then destruction.
He can do this when our hearts are not aligned with seeking truth, or insight, at the cost of "self" (or perceived cost of self, because learning the truth and expanding our awareness is actually always beneficial to the true self). When we say "agree to disagree" is the starting point wherein we adopt the attitude and intention: even though we do not see eye-to-eye or have the same focus here, we can, if we pursue with integrity and freedom from ego, actually learn from each other and from the interaction.
As I've mentioned, my context is one of art, or using "shakespeare-like words and tone" to inspire an appreciation for the transcendent nature of the truths, the messages and the spirit that Q provides. To do this, I clothe this "message" in some recognizable turns of phrase, drawing on pre-existing examples of "highlighting the transcendent" that Shakespeare is known and loved for and dressing that message up in them.
I could simply write up the message in shakespeare-like language - I'm pretty capable of that, but without alluding to actual shakespearean plays, scenes and motifs, would it be of any interest to anyone? People know Will, but they do not know Fractal.
Let me return and offer a question to you. Can you think of any actual examples of scenes or dialogs in Will's plays that match perfectly or strongly with a) words or messages that Q has dropped? b) realities and situations that the Great Awakening points us to? c) the Plan?
I've read Julius Caesar, and quite a few of the plays, plus I am fan of the numerous good renditions and translations into film that some have done, particularly in modern times by Brannagh. I am a linguist; and my connections with Sh go back 3 decades. But for me, Shakespeare is mostly about the language and the pointing to the transcendent that it raises in me, the emotional and spiritual response, rather than the other dimensions, such as political or social etc, that others may choose to focus on or resonate with. And I suspect in your case, this might be the case?
To elaborate, I'm more interested in how Antony mobilizes the emotions of his audience and the moral spirit that his character gives expression to than the political and social points he is or may be making. You seem to be drawn particularly to the harder political or social aspects ("the arguments") he is making to his audience.
You may not quite see it like that, which is fine. I'm simply expressing what I see from the angle I am using.
I would not think either of these two approaches is better, more important or more valuable than the other. It's simply what individuals choose to appreciate, focus on or enjoy. This is a natural aspect of art appreciation. Different people see different things.
Looking forward to your reply.
A blessing on you and your loved ones. FI
We're in the Empire Strikes Back portion of the trilogy. Not great for the good guys or our protags. But it sets up the third act.
Good old Earl of Oxford....... a great writer.....!
