* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Despite Brutus being the starring character (as portrayed by Creator/JamesMason), PopCultureOsmosis and RetroactiveRecognition has made Creator/MarlonBrando more recognizable--and thus his Mark Antony potentially the more sympathetic VillainProtagonist of the tale. It also helps that despite Antony's acts of instigating war throughout the story, Brando sells his grief and fury at losing his patron and friend as sincere as possible.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The movie interprets Mark Antony as vaguely sinister, sporting both a KubrickStare and later a PsychoticSmirk whem he had finished his famous "friends, Romans, countrymen" speech at Caesar´s funeral. The smirk shows itself when he turns away from the crowds, rioting behind him. He is also ColorCodedForYourConvenience, sporting a toga that is slightly less dark than that of Cassius. In this respect, Brutus stands out as a TragicHero, played by both Cassius and Antony in due order.
