@hollywoodhistory: Cleopatra’s procession into Rome is one of the most elaborate and expensive scenes ever filmed in a production that would have cost nearly half a billion dollars in today’s money. It’s an unforgettable moment in a very forgettable movie 👸🏻 #oldhollywood #elizabethtaylor #cleopatra #filmtok #tiktokscenesrentfreecontest
they should remake it with CGI and AI starring timothee chalamet and sydney sweeney 🥰

Practical effects will ALWAYS look better than CGI

It’s also FOUR HOURS AND TWELVE MINUTES LONG. They should have made it into multiple films or a show

I saw some of the cut scenes, she was absolutely correct. It was vulgar compared to the scenes I saw. It should have been left alone and split into 2 movies. It was supposed to have been the first epic with Caesar, the second with Antony. And it was also originally based on tons of research into her history, the history of the times, and several ancient writings about her.

CGI doesn’t hit the audience as a spectacle. We know it’s fake. This, with all its practical effects, is absolutely a spectacle. That’s why so many modern movies fall flat. They forget the impact that real things make on the audience

I really feel like ancient civilizations could be this extra. Pharaohs were gods amongst mortals

I would pay a ton of money to see the Mankiewicz cut! His dialogue can be so sharp and witty. As always, I love your content!

Saw this recently, it was a truly jaw dropping scene even in 2026, no CGI, no green screen. The workmanship, carpentry, production, choreography etc, please see it, its fab 👌

Why not split it in two I wonder. They could have made twice the money and they already spent so much in it. Guess back them though they didn’t really do that.

It would be cool to see the whole original. It could be watched in “episodes.”

This movie could’ve been so amazing. I love the cinematography, the costumes and attention to detail, but I feel it lags a bit, and crudely edited. And I dislike the acting of Augustus.
