Could Caesar have prevented his death?

Probably not. Caesar was too self-confident by this time in his life, not suspecting looming treachery...much the same way Big Pauli Castellano got too comfortable and opened himself up to murder by John Gotti's henchmen in 1985. Had Caesar been more introspective, he may have realized the level of violence in Roman society was so high that his enemies were almost sure to whack him in this manner. Had he moved more cautiously, Caesar could have surrounded himself with bodyguards or even iced his likely enemies well before they had the chance to develop their scheme of a seven-man hit. He plainly saw the danger is Cassius, "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look" "Such men as he be never at heart's ease whiles they behold a greater than themselves,
and therefore are they very dangerous".

No one will ever know. If only Caesar had taken the letter from Artemidorus...

Many things went aren't accurate in this film.

Actual from my study of the evidence Caesar knew full well what was gonna happen, and allowed it to happen cause he didn't want his Epilepsy turning him into a pathetic drooling old man.

For example his Did read the latter that person tried to give him.

Caesar was already ill and no longer a young man after a very hard life when he was assassinated. It has been suggested that he knew the threats he was being warned about were serious, but chose to go out on his feet. That man did spend most of his life as a soldier.

Whether Caesar would be considered a tyrant today is highly questionable. The "freedom-loving" Optimates who assassinated him were actually the One Percenters of their day and had no interest in sharing political power with the lower classes. Rome was an oligarchy not a democracy. Democracy as we know it today would have looked like anarchy to the Ancient Romans.

One of the reasons why Caesar angered the other Optimates was because he was a populist who played to the unwashed masses of Rome. Sure, he did so as a way to gain power, but his recognition of the lower classes as politically important was remarkable for his time.

It's also important to remember that he pardoned many of his enemies during the Civil War precisely because he didn't want to destroy the Optimate class (of which he was a member). The Optimates had fallen into fratricidal conflict for at least a generation before him and were complete hypocrites about calling Caesar a "tyrant." The generation before had seen both Marius and Sulla ruling Rome with an iron fist, and many Romans who hated Caesar would have been happy to see Pompeii in his place.

Also remarkable was his respect for the Patrician women of Rome. Sure, he slept with a lot of women, but he also saw them as friends and allies. And he is also notable for showing such favor to the Jews that the Jewish community of Rome mourned loudly and publicly at his funeral.

I'm not trying to argue that Caesar was perfect, or that he wasn't ruthless and ambitious. He wouldn't have survived his youth, let alone risen to become the First Man of Rome, if he hadn't been ruthless. But I think we should be cautious about swallowing ancient propaganda wholesale, or conflating the reputation of Julius Caesar with that of his imperial descendants.
