Peter Greenaway - Peopling the Palaces at Venaria Reale

[kylegaddie]

I was at Venaria Reale when this had just opened a couple of years ago. Thanks for posting! I really like the palaces in Turin, especially this one, you really feel like a 17th century courtier will all of the music and screens everywhere.

thing is... the vision of ridley scott's rome is all wrong and very poor in comparison to what it really was...

[heyboy08]

How do you know it was all wrong? what evidence are thinking of?

my university degree in ancient roman history and latin and greek literature, maybe

no condescension needed, thanks. I was just asking.

but still, i don't think he was saying necessarily that ridley scott's vision is totally historically accurate, he's just making the point that now in this century the majority of the people that see gladiator are going to take it as how rome really was, even if it's total bull. he's saying the filmmakers have a lot of power and responsibility. i suppose scott abused that.

That was Greenaway's point, I think.
