This is the best part, because you could go home at last. The horse seems unhappy.

My only question is , why did Morrisey from the Smiths ( may only resonate with UK members) take the part of Longinus?

 

Good spot! He really does have a look of old Stevie.

I remember reading that Malcom McDowell said that he was trying to make Caligula a sympathetic character. After having seen the film, I can safely say that McDowell's Caligula is one of the most unsympathetic characters in film history.

 

On another note, wasn't the film's Claudius rather odd as well? There's none of the stuttering or head jerks seen in other productions -I,Claudius - The Caesars - even the awful Boudica. The actor who plays him just acts like a fool.
