Basically Rome had enough of him e was just to wild making an army fight a ocean and than poor Claudias he thought he was next and make him a Caesar,but that meant also wiping all of Caligua seed even his kid and wife
There's actually a thought that, when Caligula took power, the Senate thought he was a young, harmless man who would continue the non-interventionism of Tiberius (I mean the "post-Sejanus" Tiberius). The Senate were astonished and humiliated when he got the guard under his thumb and took power easily from the old Senate. He then proceeded to humiliate them (making his horse senator), and the military (his guards: "Scrotum?"). Not a good idea.
And so, he was assassinated and Claudius (who in this theory really was an idiot) came to "power", easily controlled by the guard and Senate. Nero killed him, the guards ended up killing Nero too.
Then Galba, Otho, and Vitellius tried to unsuccessfully take control of the situation, until Vespasian marched in with his legions and made some of them the new guard (killing or subjugating the old guard in the process).
despite the fact that the kid died, I actually think this movie had a good ending with Claudius the man who was totured and mocked becoming the Emperor of Rome.
Never trust to anyone. He should've anticipated that from his guard and tie him up infront of everyone and kill his wife and children infront of him. Then, set up a meeting with all the best roman generals and behead all of them as well as their male children. Then he would've been a true emperor. He was just a weak fool. Love is nothing, fear is everything..
Two things I gatta say 1: thumbs up if you think his wife and daughter should NOT have died! 2: Why did the guard say password and why did caligula say Shactom or something like that? Plz answer number 2 for me!
Nobody give me shit fr this but although caligula was kinda evil and harsh this reminds me of the lesson: You reep what you sow. And this makes me fucking sad. First of all his wife totally stood up for him and her results: Stabbed. And she was the only one Caligula ACTUALLY cared for, but NO it cant end there! Then his ONLY child wich was only fucking two got beaten to death on the damn stairs. Then when he rose the soilders reply was to stab him! Fuck rome! T-T
I encourage everyone to watch the alternate cut of the film on the 3-disc Imperial Edition. It's the complete film without the random porno scenes that were added later in post-production without the actors' knowledge.
Is it truly much better? I adored McDowell as Caligula, and I understand the hedonism and lust and sexual gratification of Caligula...but at times it felt like I was watching a big budget porno when it was much more of Caligula that interested me.
I do not think Rome was this bad as it's made to think in this movie. Caligula was bad but not a sex meniac like potraited in this movie. I think you need to watch the series " I Claudius" to real get a feel for Rome during this time.
This movie was just an excuse to show gay bi and straight pron all at once.cause thats all this movie was.I love porn but i couldnt even sit through this shit.
@RamboCujo ur a pevert for watching it and thinking it was a good movieshows that you probably agreed with most of his satanic fetishes.Fucking SICKO.anything you write from now on will be erased,spamed and not read so pacify ur self with ur cock just like they did in this crap movie YUCK.CRAP MOVIE!
Anyone who uses the password 'scrotum' is an immature douchebag and deserves what he gets.
@Axelduel, I'm not sure what your deal is, but it sounds like PTSD, and there is help out there for you if you want it.
Or else, nothing traumatic ever happened to you and you're just aggrandizing pain-and-suffering into something meaningful. It's not. Pain-and-suffering hurts, period. There is no greater meaning other than 'jesusgod let it stop hurting'.
The Pertorian Head Guard, ,supposedly in History Caligular was stabed to death while walking back to his home from the theater in a lone tunnel by some of his own family members and pretorian guard assigned to guard him. His wife Drussila was later hunted down and killed and his child was beaten to death against a wall.
why did the guy say "Password" amd Caligula say "Scrotum"? who was the guy who killed Caligula? (I'm asking because I want to know everything about his murder as this quasi-porn movie depicts, as i do not plan on viewing this trash).
@cologey, you're correct that I live in America. I'm not sure of where you live, so i don't know the ratings system, but i'm not planning on doing anything that will warrant a restrictive rating (ie. requiring a parent to be with a minor).
@cologey, thanks. but first, i have to concentrate on finishing school, then finish the other screenplays I have in my head to write, then I'll work on the one about Caligula, or maybe fast-track that one to being the second script I work on after i finish my first one. it'll take maybe 6 to 7, maybe even 10 or 15 years.
@cologey, no i haven't but i'd like to obtain it when i get a chance, along with The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon. Unfortunately, I think they're quite expensive. But I like anything to do with ancient history.
@cologey, thanks. I'm not planning on glossing over the sexual aspects (ie. make it appear as if it never happened), but I'm not planning on doing anything R-rated.
@cologey, it's okay about the language. I've heard and said worse. I have The Lives Of The Twelve Caesars, but have only managed to read through the life of Gaius Julius Caesar, and I can't wait to finish school so i can read the rest.
@cologey, now that i think more of it, i'm thinking of writing a script based on Caligula's life, as there's no movie that depicts him accurately (though "The Robe" and "Demetrius And The Gladiators" offer up a clean, albeit fictionalized, portrayal of him; and I'm not sure how the miniseries "I, Claudius" differs from this garbage). But my aim will be to do a script for a film version that's PG or PG-13.
@cologey, yea, and a shame that no major studio would finance what was meant to be a historical drama instead of what the final product we're stuck with.
i can't believe i was even curious about seeing this pornographic movie. looks like pure smut to me. i don't see the need for sex and nudity in a movie unless the storyline absolutely requires it (ie. "Schindler's List" or "Excalibur"). but i digress. i know that Caligula was murdered by Chaera, but is even the murder historically accurate as it's portrayed here? (I'll have to look up Josephus' account of it again).
if you understood caligula's history, it was alot more graphic then the movie's pepiction. Caligula was not only the most evil roman emperor in existance, he was also extremely perverted and had sex with any woman he chose, weither married, single or even sibling, he didnt care. He also enjoyed raping and having his female victims tortured with tiny cuts being carved all over there bodys, while he raped them. I think the movie is really PG to what he was really like.
@AxelDuel, probably, but that doesn't mean the it has to be depicted. i mean, it can be alluded to and the aftermath shown, but showing everything leaves no room for the imagination to work (that's why black-and-white films that had murder in them were so good...because they almost never showed the crime being committed).
Yes, but when this film came out, it actually got alot of attention, both positive and negative and was deemed the most controversial film of its time. Its right up there with movies like the Exorcist and Cannibal Holocaust equally controversial films. I feel the telling a story in the most graphic way, is also the best way to describe the level of depravity that this guy was. Films these days are just too afraid to push the envelope and get down and gritty.
eh, Its pretty gritty, the sexual torture is nice, but it doesnt beat Caligula, seriously, Caligula had Penetration in it! Cannibal Holocaust had Casteration and real depictions of rape, castration,cannibalisim, and impaling. Salo is just has naked people, nazi's and shit eating, all good and well, but not much on the real side. Caligula had 2 women sucking off a guy on camera and cumming in there mouths, Completely Unedited or uncensored. Nah Salo comes close, but no cigar
will a sanitized version of Caligula ever be made? just because the Romans had sex doesn't mean you have to depict it on screen. i don't see the need for nudity, especially in a period piece, unless the storyline requires it (ie. "Schindler's List")
The Movie is a close documentary on the guys life and the acts he commited against the people of rome. None of what you see in the movie is made up. Caligular actually did all that shit to his people and even more thats too sick to put on film. Vlad Dracula, Elizabeth Bartley, The Thoul society depicted in Salo, all real people, all real stories, all real periods of history
@AxelDuel, like i said, it's not neccessary to show all the brutal and lascivious acts he did, just allude to them via dialogue and leave the rest to the viewer's imagination. Look at the classic version of Psycho. did you actually have to see the knife going into Marion? No. Hitchcock implied it, and it was still very scary, because the viewer was imagining what he did not show. side from graphic violence and sexual content being prohibited by the Production Code, it also made for good movies.
They didnt make the movie for story more so for its shock value. Honestly I preffer seeing the violence then having to imagine it. If I wanted to imagine it, reading the books would sefice. Also Psycho was more renound for its acting and how realistic and scary it was presented to the audiance, not for its violence. Im talking about shock value, not excellent performances. I wanna see Blood, gore, and People Suffering. The sites make it all the more realistic to the viewer
Im just realistic, Ive watched people suffer and die in my arms in real life, so the more connection I can get to those past memories from seeing the images, the closer it hits home for me. Dont suger coat the shit, show it. Saving private Ryan, Band of Brothers, We were soldiers, all great movies and depicted how horrible the front lines were and the ordeals those people went threw.
@WrestlinggBaby A few sources state that Caligula's wife and daughter were murdered in a matter of hours by Cassius Chaera. However Cassius himself had to answer to Caligula's tormented uncle Claudius who decided he was too dangerous to live.
Caligula would make his guard say password before he would speak with him. Caligula would call him names basically insulting him. The guard got sick of it and was basically like oh I'm through with this shit (slice) end of Caligula.
Can we relate to these people or the people of 2000 years from now? Take 3 men , one from 41 AD, one from now and one from 2000 years into the future. What would the 3 of them make of one another? Give them the same language. What the HELL would that conversation be like? I think the Roman, for a start would try and shag the other two men anyway.
@tekkendevilwithin He was so evil they didn't want to take any chances with any future offspring. Actually makes a certain amount of sense when you have a hereditary dictatorship rather than a democracy. I hope in real life they did it quick, though. Even if you absolutely have to, a little girl is still a little girl.

@Grayseff No he wasnt, are you basing your information on Robert Graves? Cos thats not history. The cleverest was with out a doubt Augustus Ceasar, he may have been the most brilliant politician in history. Claudius was not stupid, but nor was he that smart.
@16shogunelitegreen no that was Claudius ceaser she put posion in his mushrooms, so that her son nero can be ceaser....however nero killed his mother soon after he became ceaser
@Davidthedemon I dont think the girl getting her head bashed in was tame compared to the rest(Well except the fisting of proculus) Any way I liked this movie for some reason I know its horrifing but still its aight.
@theScytheofGod HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WERE U THERE? THE FACT IS THAT PERIOD IS REMOTE ENOUGH IN HISTORY THAT MANY FACTS ARENT KNOWN ALL OF CLAUDIUS DIARIES DISAPPEARED THE NOVELS ON WHICH I CLAUDIUS THE TV SERIES WAS BASED ARE A MIX OF FANTASY AND FACT
@wreehill This is something I read in a book some time ago, so for that matter, nothing can be substantiated, not Jesus, not anything, and we're all fools to think it can be.
@thomasmschreiber Here here! Plus Caligua deserved it. One of his favorite past times was to have people hung by their ankles while a saw worked from their genitals down to saw them in half.
Basically Rome had enough of him e was just to wild making an army fight a ocean and than poor Claudias he thought he was next and make him a Caesar,but that meant also wiping all of Caligua seed even his kid and wife

Im just realistic, Ive watched people suffer and die in my arms in real life, so the more connection I can get to those past memories from seeing the images, the closer it hits home for me. Dont suger coat the shit, show it. Saving private Ryan, Band of Brothers, We were soldiers, all great movies and depicted how horrible the front lines were and the ordeals those people went threw.

@WrestlinggBaby A few sources state that Caligula's wife and daughter were murdered in a matter of hours by Cassius Chaera. However Cassius himself had to answer to Caligula's tormented uncle Claudius who decided he was too dangerous to live.

@moviemaster8510 I take it you seen Cinema Snob's review of Caligula?
Angry Joe pretending to Caligula: Greetings Cinema Snob I am Caligula 4th Emperor of Rome.
Cinema Snob: Spoony beat to it.
Angry Joe: **** my ****!!!

Caligula would make his guard say password before he would speak with him. Caligula would call him names basically insulting him. The guard got sick of it and was basically like oh I'm through with this shit (slice) end of Caligula.

Can we relate to these people or the people of 2000 years from now? Take 3 men , one from 41 AD, one from now and one from 2000 years into the future. What would the 3 of them make of one another? Give them the same language. What the HELL would that conversation be like? I think the Roman, for a start would try and shag the other two men anyway.

@tekkendevilwithin He was so evil they didn't want to take any chances with any future offspring. Actually makes a certain amount of sense when you have a hereditary dictatorship rather than a democracy. I hope in real life they did it quick, though. Even if you absolutely have to, a little girl is still a little girl.

Charlemagne, and therefore most of the people now in Europe, was likely descended from one and possibly two of Caesonia's half-brothers.

@Grayseff No he wasnt, are you basing your information on Robert Graves? Cos thats not history. The cleverest was with out a doubt Augustus Ceasar, he may have been the most brilliant politician in history. Claudius was not stupid, but nor was he that smart.
