i just wanna see a Cleopatra movie where Cleopatra has Egyptian color.... clearly she is not Egyptian. i love her performance. great woman... but im just saying... if your in Egypt, be Egyptian. ish*
@VJpenna Cleopatra Ptolemy was of Macedonian decent, just like the rest of the Ptolemy family that ruled for generations.. not egyptian or even african. If you're going to be politically correct at least know what you're talking about.
@canadakt Even the Ptolemy's wore traditional Egyptian dress/makeup and wore their Egyptian wigs...it sounds as if you're the one who's misinformed. The real Cleopatra would look a lot more similar to the one portrayed in HBO's Rome series. A Mediterranean in facial features but distinctly Egyptian in culture. How the hell else would they be able to rule an entire empire as reincarnations of their traditional deities?
God! What was done with the sets and props from this film? Not only the epic size of the film; the scandal of her and Burton during the making and now her passing . . . the props would fetch a handsome price in auctions. (Just in case anyone at Fox is listening).
@AnneBoleyn808 He had an epileptic seizure. The man put a special stick in his mouth so he wouldn't choke on his own tongue. (This explains why he was called "Julius Seizure" .. [joke])
@pulisilva1 Actually, this film was seriously considered very 'lewd' for scenes such as Elizabeth Taylor getting a massage (shown in this segment) along with other scenes. This was 1963, you know.
this is one of the best scenes! I really like the battle of wits between Cleo and Julius! Also i didn't know wat was happening to Julius at 7:58. When i first saw it i was all WTF? I didn't know that he was epileptic. 9:20 DAAAMMNN! ;)
she's supposed to come out of the rug sensually and seduce him but she comes out and try to act all hard and then argue. this doesn't make no sense at all to me
I'm sorry but this cleopatra sucks, she doesn't look young, he keep saying young lady and it's weird. her voice sucks. the 1999 one was sort of cheezy but i liked way better than this one
i disagree w/ ppl who call the ORIGINAL cleo ugly! when i googled the statue of her her head looks odd becuase of the head ornament she was wearing (wich most likely has a religious meaning) but when i googled and found statues of her head alone w/o the head ornament that covers her features then compared it to the statue of her body i really must say u have gotta be a faggot to put her down like that cuz she wasnt ugly or black at all. Those coins baring her face have been damaged or something
@HistoryLover1550 Caligula was not a direct descendant of Caesar; Augustus himself was only Caesar's grand nephew because his mother was the daughter of Caesar's eldest sister.
@AemiliaPaulla Your right, Augustus was Caligula's great grandfather, I made a small mistake with the Julio-Claudian family tree. Thanks for correcting me.
I do believe that Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful woman alive, but sadly, I also believe that if she were that age in popular culture today, many people wouldn't consider her beautiful, instead comparing her to the fake-plastic and talentless nymphs on screen today.
@ToriiiaaaX You are mistaken. They Both did. Caesar refused to go back to Rome when he was needed, and Markus Antonius fled the battlefield to be with her.
@BleedingHeartWorld discovery channel disputed the tradtional death of cleopatra: bitten by a snkae......they claim she was poisoned by octavian so he could steal the throne of egypt...=)
Not to be rude, but this movie is very accurate historically. And not every story has a big twist at every turn. I prefer to focus on the intriguing characters, elaborate costumes, and political rivalry. Those parts are enough to get me to enjoy this movie.
how about considering... if they said "dura" in the 1960s to the American movie going population they would have have understood what they meant.. I think its less of a mistake and more of keeping the terms simple enough for 1960s general audiences.
...ok...i've seen US citizens and it's knolege in "action"!!...get the point?
that was so true for 1960's people as today most US think's swizerland is in some back part of Asia!....the guys are DUMB!...and getting DUMBER!...and proud of it!(exelent for new world order!).
..."let's use only terms we know!,why learn anything else new?!"....
God does in fact EXIST!...he did not make "american"!!! ;)THANK GOD!.
CORN???...corn is a native american PLANT!!!...and the american continent was not discovered untill 1500 AD!!!...europe ou egipt did not know of it's existence!.
in english, when talking of antiquity, corn refers to grain. if there is a mistake here its that the writers had cleopatra say grain AND corn. but its not at all a mistake to talk of corn.
I find its best to know what one is talking about before opening ones mouth. It lessens, only slightly in your case, the chance of being perceived as a moron.
Thank's for the tip!!!!...how about looking it up your self???
The original term is "DURA"...it is not even clossely ralated to CORN (maize)...and the term CORN was only associated to DURA in the late 18th century!!!...due to the fact, that then, like today...you hade too many "ignorants"...that prefer too be RUDE and vulgar, rather then...otherwise!.
And please...don't tel me your an AMERICAN!!! (US citizen)...PLEASE!!!
@tudorqueenesther I'm epileptic as well, but I was simply born that way. I never got bullied, sorry to hear that.
Yea, it is kind of odd to know that such legendary people were able to overcome that, especially since there was virtually nothing to make things easier.
epilepsy is a strange thing... I have seizures when i pass out when i see blood or needles. that's the only time, i got an EEG and tested negative. I gave a friend who has epilepsy and will have seizures if she doesn't take her migraine medicine. Its a strange thing with your nervous and brain systems and muscles.
He had an epileptic seizure. In that day, it was called the "falling sickness". Some people saw it as a sign of divinity. Others saw it as demonic possession.
It's a neurological disorder, caused by tumors, holes in the brain, to many electrons vs. neutrons on each side, overpowering of either side of the brain.
I, myself, have Jackson's Epilepsy due to a hole in the center of my brain. It's embarrassing and the medicine hardly works for it. It is triggered by stress, flashing lights and sickness for me.
