    Funny possibility is that Lucius didn't end up copying someone else's ideas, he ended up copying his own because he was the first to invent them in his time, which went on to become the inspirations for modern architecture which he "copied off of", creating an endless loop.

    • @rage8673
      @rage8673 ปีที่แล้ว +224

      Basically Luscious only observed the inventions he didn't know how they actually worked, but making the almost exact thing with lesser resources(compared to modern time) is the thing that makes him a genius. More or less the fascinating thing was that had it been some other normal people moreover from any other random civilization, they would have had probably termed the healing hot springs, the massager and the toilet as merely some magic, it was the unique thinking of luscious who actually considered them mechanical, and thus replicated the creation to some extent, and moreover the education he might have had got as a citizen of roman empire.
      Ancient Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, Chinese and Japanese were truly ahead of their times with their inventions and ways.

      I think it's both this and his height that helps make him stand out. Lucius was also pretty tall in the manga to help emphasize how out of place he is in modern day Japan, so they went for the tallest actor they could find (the actor is around 6'2')

    "Lest darkness fall" is one of my favorite time travel books. Archeologist is struck by lightning and that's all the explanation given for why he's suddenly in 100 A.D. Rome. He invents brandy (!) a big money maker, teaches modern numbers and digital values for *double entry bookkeeping*, other stuff, eventually manages a resparking of the Roman Republic.
    What makes it doubly interesting is that it was written just before WW II, when it seemed darkness was indeed falling over the world again.

    Thank you. Just like many, I wouldn’t have known to watch this movie. Artists share different getting creative processes and sometimes it becomes too mechanical and we plateau. Best way to become open minded again is studying other artist’s processes and their specific resulting artwork, to remind us in abstract of what being open felt like and how we juice it to the last drop before moving on to the next project in an adopted behavioral pattern. This movie captured his artistic cycle and the motives behind its inspiration and re inspirations a few times and did them all very well. As well as the summery here that didn’t edit those feelings out summarizing probably 95% of the movie in a very meaningful and efficient time.

    The man who plays Lucius is a Japanese actor (East Asian) that somehow looks his part as an ancient Roman (Southern European). He probably doesn't have the typical Japanese look, not to mention he's also pretty tall Japanese. But then Romans back then were short.

    What makes rome special is their concrete
    Like seriously there are beautiful monuments all over the world but what makes rome special is they formulated "Roman concrete" when the rest of the world was using lime mortar

    • @_s_9920
      @_s_9920 ปีที่แล้ว +91

      always important to remember that the pleasant climate in Rome during the era is a major reason it never spread. When Rome spread across more northern and western parts of Europe into much damper temperate climates such as Germanic territories and the British Isles they brought the concrete with them and it required constant upkeep with materials that had to be transported from Rome. This is a major reason why when Rome abandoned Britain, the villas and cities quickly fell to disrepair as the climate was not appropriate for such materials, we had neolithic monuments in England better preserved after thousands of years of exposure than the very hearts of Roman cities like Canterbury. Underfloor heating and large open ornate villas seems great when you have a massive empire and all its wealth and supply lines to maintain and staff the upkeep but once thats cut off such buildings fall to ruins within a generation and the ones that remain are torn down and replaced by less cold and costly buildings. Despite seeming far more simple, Anglo-Saxon huts faired much better in winter and during cold wet months and could be kept warm and repaired using only plentiful local materials. Following Norman rule after 1066 saw the construction of forts and castles make of flint and limestone, local materials suitable for the climate, rather than trying to imitate the withered remains of Roman fortifications across Europe.
      A good more modern example is how during the height of the British Empire, rich colonial citizens exported hard wood and stone from Britain to arid desert colonies to make colonial buildings in the style of Victorian architecture, whilst technologically better than local cultures - the local style of building was far more suited to the climate and when the British Empire receded the colonial buildings became irreparable and fell to ruins.

    My first ever Japanese movie. Honestly hits different compared to all others I’ve watched. Movies that involve time travel don’t end well most of the times but not this one, for this I’m forever grateful. I remember crushing on Hiroshi Abe so hard afterwards. Till this day he’s my second favorite Japanese actor after Satoh Takeru.

We’ve only seen handful in history, probably many more who were never able to realise their true potential due to circumstance like Lucius would have(n’t)

      The "replicating food" one is a bit easier to believe. I used to have a really talented grandma from the province that when we'd take her to expensive restaurants, she'd be able to recreate their dishes at home using cheaper and easier to acquire ingredients. Sometimes they didnt taste 100% the same, and sometimes they tasted even better!
      So I have no doubt that someone as creative and skilled as Lucius would be able to use his ingenuity to do stuff like that

After all, something most people don't realize is that what makes us more advanced than our ancestors isn't that our intellect has improved. It really hasn't. What we are taught has improved because our collective knowledge has improved.
