#ASTERIX AND CLEOPATRA THE MOVIEW MOVIE#
But Cleopatra herself is perhaps where the movie dates itself, as it focuses so much on beauty and ambition and less on other characteristics of a charismatic leader. Elizabeth Taylor's costumes, as befit the legend of Cleopatra, are breathtaking. Richard Burton as Marc Anthony was justifiably rocketed to a top box-office draw for the next decade. Rex Harrison as Julius Caesar brings a noble weariness to that devilish twinkle in his eye. Cleopatra's entrance into Rome is, almost inarguably, the greatest spectacle ever filmed.

In the days before computer graphics, the magnificent sets were all built to scale, including a particularly glorious sea battle. It was the most expensive film ever made to that date, and was notoriously plagued with problems frequently reported in the press: over budget, over time, and of course the notoriously volatile relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Much ado was made about this legendary production, and it really is something. Which Side of History? How Technology Is Reshaping Democracy and Our LivesĬLEOPATRA is a remarkable achievement, and though by no means flawless, it's a must-see for the Hollywood completist.

There was even a king from the New Kingdom who had red hair. But despite the relative low life expectancy and the relatively isolated geographical situation, the (ancient) Egyptians have a wide range of physical characteristics. They are often young, consistent with the fact that most ancient Egyptians died between their thirties and forties, and the (early) childhood mortality rate was very high. I could only find some truth in the portrayal of the Egyptians in regard to the to their ages. But I have some things that should have been done much better, even though a lot was not known about this in 1968.I'm not optimistic (from experience) about this, but I hope that every viewer realizes that we are given a stereotyped view on the appearance of the Egyptians for instance. When Cleopatra takes a bath, there is a boat visible quite similar to an object that has been found in Tutankhamens grave, and the meaning of this particular boat is not clear. Some animations have some puzzling objects. But I like to see the attention there is paid to it. Although a lot of art is not really accurate, because cartouches don't appear in the homes of citizens and not even in rich peoples houses. Otherwise the makers did do their homework and were much inspired bij for instance at that time quite recent discoveries ( Lake Nasser, from Montet & Carter f.i. Because of the architecture and art, I think that some sort of Egyptological advice went into this movie. Bureaucracy is also a theme I hardly see in movies. In this film there is a major problem with bureaucracy, and the way Asterix and Obelix solve it is very funny. I think that because of this, although it has shifted from time to time for me, the lack of real conflicts / problems/ confrontations etc I like a bit more the film le douze travaux d'Asterix. But in this movie the only problem is a limited amount of time. The magic potion cant help for instance when they can't find the way out of the pyramid. The use that Asterix and Obelix make of the Panoramix magic potion works quite well for me, partly I think because they do not use it for every issue or problem. I like a lot of the dialogs especially of Asterix and Obelix, Asterix is much smarter than Obelix, but some of Obelix's decisions tend to have a good effect in things that happen. It's quite weird that France had to give up his colonies in for instance Africa in the last decade and a half before this film was made. There are quite a lot differences in the language you watch this movie, and I have seen German, English & in Dutch.As has been mentioned the movie looks very fresh, and it is 40 years old. I know this movie form a long time, certainly for the past 18 years, and still I watch it occasionally.
