The grotesque images, ridiculous parodies, vivid transformations of the main political moments - all these and other subtleties of French cinema, the viewer will find in the film "Asterix and Obelix against Caesar." The actors did their best. Since its premiere in 1999 to this day, the film has remained among millions of viewers loved.
The plot and authors
The plot of the picture was based on the motives of the comics Albert Uderzo and Rene Gosinny, a famous French artist and writer. Their characters are inseparable friends from the Gaul tribe, Asterix and Obelix. From the first show, after the world premiere, the film directed by Claude Zidi brought a huge income. And the audience was simply delighted with the light, but amazingly accurately mocking the realities of modern society paintings.
In general, the film "Asterix and Obelix against Caesar" can be called the highest grossing film in the entire history of cinema in the country. It shows how the original inhabitants of a small village love their homeland, do not obey anyone, adore their lifestyle and will not be exchanged for anything. It was the actors who made the picture unique. “Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar” is a separate story, the characters of which “came to life” and became real.
Christian Clavier
It is he who plays the role of Asterix - one of the two main characters of the film "Asterix and Obelix against Caesar." Christian Clavier, a French actor and screenwriter, was perfectly able to portray the character of a smart, serious and self-sufficient resident of a Gallic village. He is not lost in the face of danger and behaves calmly even in the most unforeseen situations.
Gerard Depardieu
He plays the role of Obelix - the second and, perhaps, the most amusing character in the painting "Asterix and Obelix against Caesar." Gerard Depardieu revealed himself here as an amazingly talented comedian, friendly, kind and funny. No wonder it was his writers who endowed incredible power as a result of a magic potion, into the cauldron with which he fell when he was little.
John Gottfried
He plays the role of Guy Julius Caesar, the ruler of the wise and powerful, but somewhat pathos. The German actor managed to perfectly get used to the role, giving her a special comedic charm. Critics also noted the work done - it was not without reason that Gottfried received the Bavarian Film Award for playing the role of Caesar.
Claude Piepplu
Many viewers agree that the film Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar would lose some of its charm if it were not for the funny druid Panoramix. After all, only he knows the recipe for the famous potion, which gives the inhabitants of the village inhuman strength. And the French actor of cinema and theater gave the painting incredible charm and comic.
Roberto Benigni
He performed Detrignus, one of the main villains of the picture. He endlessly bears plans for the conquest of the Roman Empire and, in his meanness, is ready to do anything. On the other hand, Detrignus is cowardly and dodgy in his attempts to evade the righteous anger of the great Caesar. The talented Italian actor manages to make the audience smile while watching.
Michelle Galabru and Marianne Zaegerbrecht
This couple managed to play the couple of rulers of the Gallic settlement. Leader Abranakursiks is near-minded, but noble and at all costs trying to protect his subjects. The role of his wife, the colorful, good-natured villager Bongmin, was performed by a talented actress from Germany. The film only won thanks to these actors. Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar is a fun comedy that many will enjoy.
Laetitia Casta
This is a young beauty, the muse of the entire male half of the village. Among those who are not indifferent to her charm is Obelix, who is trying with all her might to win the girl’s location. The popular actress and fashion model managed to play Falball so that in her place it is difficult to imagine another woman.
Daniel Domball
She brilliantly played the wife of Veteraniks, the village elders. Madame Veteraniks is simply charming in her tricks. She twists her husband as she might think, that the audience, and especially the spectators, cannot be indifferent.
Jean-Pierre Castaldi
The unfortunate centurion in his performance, what adversity he did not have to endure! And all because within the limits of his control was the ill-fated village of the Gauls. No wonder Kayyus Bonus honestly warned everyone who dared to attack the locals that they should not compete. However, no one listened to him, and the audience had the opportunity again and again to enjoy comic situations involving a talented French actor.
There are episodic roles in the film that were performed by no less charismatic actors. “Asterix and Obelix against Caesar” is hard to imagine without Tragicomix, whose role is played by Hardy Krueger Jr., without Olivier Ashar, brilliantly introducing us to Anorexix, and, of course, without Idefix - the charming doggie that accompanies the main characters everywhere.
