Beautiful in every respect!

@scroogesong1 I agree. This is one of the most beautifully filmed movies. I think Lawrence of Arabia also is gorgeous, a few others. But this one is breathtaking.

I've always heard that Ridley financed this, his first movie, on several credit cards, everything filmed on location and most of the money spent on costumes. Probably the best 'bang for the buck' in the bidness, right here.

@texascarl

Hi That's amazing. It would be great to be able to verify that -- what a great story. Then Ridley Scott would be the first true indy and most creative financing method.

thanks for watching.
