Who Is Hail Caesar Awesome
Hail Caesar is set in the 1950's when Hollywood was in its prime. Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) works for a major film company and his job is extremely tough. He works 24/7 to get Hollywood actors in order and ensure that movies are completed on time. In other words, he's the fixer. He mediates between the spoiled movie stars who think that everything revolves around them and producers who are always in a hurry and want to get things done, but don't have the stomach or the patience to deal with all the shit that comes with dealing with movie stars.

Most of the time, Mannix is able to resolve anything with a few compliments and a beer or two. His job gets a lot more difficult when a major movie star, Baird Whitlock (George Clooney), unexplainably vanishes from the premises. Mannix got a lot on his plate but you better believe that he will be able fix everything. With a name like that, you just know that nothing is impossible for him.

Beside having an interesting plot, Hail Caesar is funny, borderline hilarious. You might not fall off the couch, but it does have a decent amount of funny scenes and clever dialogues. However, note that not everyone likes the Coen brothers and if you are one of those people, you probably won't find this movie amusing. But, before you decide not to watch Hail Caesar, you should know that the following scenes take place in the movie:

    Passionate convictions and articulating views are represented in texts, which contribute to the manipulation of our views. These elements are evident in Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar,’ ABC News’ article, ‘Bill Henson’s case’ and Kev Carmondy’s song ‘This Land is Mine/This Land is Me.’ The primary stimulus, ‘Julius Caesar’ shows how an individual’s perspective can be defined as a way of seeing or interpreting a situation or set of facts based on a certain level of judgment, whilst Carmondy and ABC New’s text help supplement and reinforce the differing perspectives.…

    Even in his absence or death, the manner in which characters address Caesar, describe him, and act in his presence, reveals the authority and influence he has over people's lives. From the first scene, Caesar is presented as victorious, having vanquished his rival, Pompey, and as an extremely popular figure among the people, with the commoners even defying authorities to celebrate his victory. As the play continues into scene ii, Caesar appears before the crowds as a modern-day pop-star, surrounded by a trail of subservient entourage. Casca and Antony display complete submission to Caesar, with the latter declaring that 'when Caesar says Do this! It is done' . In Caesar's absence, fellow patricians, Brutus and Cassius, describe him as 'mighty Caesar', a man who 'has now become a God', and strides in the world 'as a Colossus' . It is therefore evident that his close subordinates are jealously affected by his power, an effect which will later germinate into conspiracy. Even after his assassination, Caesar's ghost continues the task of perpetuating the fear of his everlasting power on those he influenced. Caesar holds enough power over his subjects that he is capable of influencing them continually, in his life and…

    In all actuality Shakespeare portrayed Julius Ceasar very closely in his play to what it really was in real life with only a few slight differences and also in the play the stroy is shortened down quite a bit from what really happens after Ceasar is assassinated. For example in the play Caesar is portrayed as a noble hero that is struck down by his "allies" without much of a reason. In reality Caesar was power hungry, cruel, devious, ruthless, and extremely ambitious which may have been why he was one of histories greatest military generals. Although in both the play and real life the citizens loved Caesar because he was a strong and powerful leader. In all honesty, his assassins had very good reason to fear him being their emperor.…

    Aside from the scene where Napoleon gets hit in the face with a steak, the style of humor in the movie is not obvious. It is all very subtle and is not going to jump out at you. How the writer and director thought this movie would end up being funny is unbelievable. On the surface and on paper, no part of the movie sounds like it would be remotely funny at all. It is the actors execution of their roles and interaction with other characters that pull off the humor that enriches the film…
