In my opinion, I liked the animated movie better then the play just a bit more because I understood it better. I found some of the people in the play rushed their lines a bit so it kinda hard to understand. What was good about the play was they had nice costumes that fitted back in the old days. The scenery fitted in very well. It was simple and not to complicated to distract us to look at something else. They spoke clearly. I kinda understood what the play was about after the movie. What I liked the movie was they had subtitles. The pictures/ people who acted were good? They had sound in it which the play didn't. Overall, I enjoyed both Julius Caesar movie and play.
