Ancient Egyptians were white people. Egypt wasn't filled with Arabs until the Muslims conquered them in the 8th century.
Over 70% of Anglo-Saxons are related to King Tut and half of Western European men are related to King Tut. Below 1% of modern day Egyptians aka Muslim Arabs are related to King Tut.
@phoenix1985 That is completely untrue. I would suggest doing some in depth reading about Cleopatra. She was a murderess, but not to the extent that any post-Augustian thinkers would have liked you to believe. None of her siblings died in battle, and two of her brothers (who were her husbands) died of abnormal circumstances, and she allowed her sister Arsinoe to die. If you want to know more about Cleopatra read "Cleopatra: Histories, Dreams and Distortions by Lucy Hughes Hallet.
@justinbieberfan4502 Yes, the Hellenistic Line is believed to have been pale. While this film is an utter dramatization with inconsistincies so great it would make your head spin, the problems that you pointed out are not the ones to concern yourself with.
@3215murph Her first hustband/brother tried to usurpe the thrown that they should have shared equally and have her murdered. So thats not her fault. Her second brother died of sickness, not murder.
@3215murph How so? All of her siblings, save 1, died in battle, or by Caesar's or Antony's orders. The other died of sickness. She never took any life save her own in her final hour. So how, pray tell, was she a murderer? The closest thing she did to murder was support Antony and Octavian in their hunt for Caesar's assassins. And all she did was lend them money. So again, I ask you, how was she a murderer?
Isn't it a lucky destiny to have more than one actress for different movies with diffrent themes and for different tastes ? There's no accounting for taste. I'm glade about every actress who chose to perform and to make beautiful films, so there are more than a just an few movies.
They made different types of films and played different characters. Taylor couldn't play the roles that Marilyn was brilliant in and Monroe couldn't play the parts Taylor did.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met filming Cleopatra. Their encounter marked the start of a tumultuous relationship, which, in addition to their amazing talent, contributed to make them icons.Taylor was uncosnsolable when Burton died in 1984. She hoped to be buried in his grave. They are now both reunited. R.I.P.
@LaMarquiseDeMerteuil Im not surprised that she was inconsolable. I read somewhere that when she got back from his furneral and spending time with his family, He had sent her a letter stateing that he had only every really felt at home when he was with Elizabeth and that he wanted to come bak home and be with her her agin. How heart breaking is that. And I dont know how true this is but is she is buried with the letter and always kept in her bedside table.
I like this movie. It is educational and also fun to follow. Yet it's sad how Ceasar died. And it's amazing how much you learn about Egypt out of one movie. Elizabeth Taylor is a GOOD ACTRESS AND HAS A GOOD POSTURE. I liked this movie alot.
@gregoriodavila Well, most of the servants were probably slaves that were captured from Africa. Africans enslaved Africans at that time. And back then, white skin was considered a sign of power, just like in Europe, a heavier woman was seen as more wealthy, and more attractive than a skinny woman (because she had the money to eat that well). To have pale skin meant that you didn't do labor, or stayed in the sun. It was the same was in the Asian countries also.
@SasoDeiLover7 Thanks for the info... I figured that... but it's also a sign of Hollywood at the time. Just like when you see old movies with Native Americans they were always white people with dark makeup on their skin.
Women are sooo confusing-Its obvious Cleo wanted to be taken by Marc....and probably, wouldnt have him any other way. It would mean he is not the man that goes after what he wants. On the other hand women call that beastial and animalistic. When will they mean what they say. Say what they really want and mean.
I love it when men express themselves and spill out everything emotional about themselves to you. It's even better when it's pent up because when it eventually does comes out it's explosive! It's so seductive to watch and impossible to resist. He must have had years worth of deeply repressed feelings towards Cleopatra. It took massive quantities of alcohol to shatter his stoic, militant reserve. She undid him with her games and he gave into her. The poor man couldn't stop himself if he tried.
Seeing Richard Burton in action is phenominal....he makes looking at Elizabeth and Eddie Fisher have one asking, why eddie???? Richard and Elizabeth now that's a match divine :) Love them both!!!!
Richard Burton came full circle with this role having played Alexander the Great and then the lover to the last of the great Hellenistic rulers Cleopatra VII.
Thanks so much FridayNightMovieZ for posting this. It has been a great way to watch the movie and read everyone's posts and post my observations. I first saw this in 1963 when I was 18. Still enjoy it almost 50 years later.
@rbutler8273 Good day,thank you for your clarification,but I am aware of the "real" Cleo's attributes other than "physical" beauty.I meant to point out that film "glamorizes" historical evidence/facts.
I first watched Cleopatra when I was about 5, and even then, I thought Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Cleopatra IS her. She looks every bit a queen. :)
Burton and Taylor were destined to be together, in this life and in eternity. To see them in this picture embracing is divine. I must get the DVD now and enjoy this epic film in its true glory. Thanks for this presentation!
I agree with you, some couples are suited together, even when they end up divorcing. Elizabeth and Richard, Lucy and Desi, and Tony and Janet. they will always love each other, no matter what.
Rich is Magnificent! The "real" Cleo did not look like Liz, I have an 80 drachma bronze minted in Alexandria & the profile doesn't even come close.On the other hand,Roddy does bear a slight look to Octavian/Augustus Caesar
@divustitus I still love James Purefoy in the HBO Rome as Mark Anthony, you are right about Cleo, though, the real one was nothing special to look at!. Roddy does resemble Octavian in appearance, but is nothing like him in personality!
@TheSutphen In YOUR opinion Elizabeth Taylor is more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe. But I do fully agree with you about Elizabeth Taylor being a far better actress than Marilyn Monroe.
