Yes, agreed. Also look at the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the early 2000's-- such fantastic costuming and sets with *some* CGI used sparingly and in a smart way. Unfortunately Hollywood prefers CGI now due to the cost and amount of effort needed for productions like these.. back when the technology wasn't there, there was no choice but to put in this tremendous amount of effort/money
Okay within this production, lots of people lost their jobs, the production was bankrupt, the lead actor almost died due to the prosthetics she was wearing and the icing on the top it bombed the box office. Yeah but sure this is what we should be doing now, right?
The pulling slaves really got that swaying & in step bang on, as ex army I appreciate it & takes just one guy to get out of step and ..CUT! Did they do it in one take or need reshoots?.

indeed..I must confess that even I fell in Love with HBO Rome series I must say that watching this character of cleopatra here in 1963 is more like a daughter of the Son God or not just a view of an important person of these ancient times but something little frightening and at the same time very powerful A True Queen of the Ancient Egypt!
This was filmed at Cinecitta, just outside of Rome. The extras were bused in each day, which dramatically reduced unemployment and supported the economy of Rome. As you say, I can only imagine the wardrobe and props department required for such a production.
Sycha Rhodes this was like 60-70 years ago I’m asian and they made old movies about white people being asian and I understand that’s what the actors did cause the producers forced them
Axel Aguirre Exactly Egyptians were “brown” meaning they had color right? Something that Elizabeth Taylor lacks...Honey I think you’re confused...Not all black people are the color of night sweetheart...Black comes in all different shades, every shade of brown you can think of...black people shades are a variety. Blacks can range from being the lightest shade of brown to the darkest. This movie was very disrespectful and they should’ve had actual black people at least from Egypt or Africa at least to act out their own culture instead of white people repeatedly erasing their history and only wanting them to believe the only thing they were actually apart of was slavery and that’s so not true when before that Africa had a great dynasty of beautiful strong kings and queens, like how would white people feel if a black person or Asian person portrayed King Henry VIII or Queen Elizabeth I or Queen Victoria. The people would have a fit just like they did when a little black girl was in the remake of Annie when that shit was fiction not even an actual story in history 🤦♀️ all I’m saying is this portrayal and many others are very disrespectful and offensive to the actual history and culture of the indigenous peoples.

I'm Egyptian, A COPTIC CHRISTIAN EGYPTIAN, I shout that out loud because we are the most pure blooded Egyptians out there and that's not only my opinion that's what Egyptologists, Historians and Scientists also agreed on , and I tell you that every word that Bassem Youssef said is right and I totally agree with him. Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like? With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans. WE ARE EGYPTIANS, WE ARE VERY UNIQUE!
God couldn't have entered any better than this! No CGI just literally a cast of 1000s & a lot of imagination. Now, a chair & miles of green blue screen.
A totally monumental scene in cinema history. I wait for this moment each time I watch it, and still get goosebumps. It is like the chariot race scene from Ben Hur. A cinematic masterpiece. It will exist for all time. The camera work was extremely exceptional, and how they managed it still baffles me!!!. ❤❤❤. Delboy. Wonderful. The music score is also very stirring, and dramatic.
This depicts the fact that egyptians thought their rulers are equivalent to gods. This entrance definitely tells that she is a deity not meant for this world 👏👏

What is incredible is no cgi garbage and they really have all of those people out there with the prop, costumes, scenery . . . It just had to be incredible to be there. Today you would have a few actors in front of green screen (wow, sooooo impressive.)

In Pompey's first Triumph he rode a chariot pulled by elephants but it came to an abrupt end when they could not fit through the gate. The Dictator Sulla laughed hysterically over that.
I had to clean my eyes after watching that atrocity committed by netflix British woman playing greek queen is more historically accurate than some bald GI Jane 2 portraying "cleopatra"
The little boy who played Cleopatra son was really frightened being up on that high sphinx. Elizabeth Taylor reassured the little digger that everything was going to be ok while the scene was being filmed.
@@ishtarxx6768 Lol Cleopatra VII Philopator (Κλεοπᾰ́τρᾱ Φιλοπάτωρ) was 100% a Macedonian Greek woman, a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty and a descendant of it's founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great.
@@ishtarxx6768 What a fucking morron, Go search fucking Wikipedia you idiot. Y'all are literally trying to erase our history, fuck you. Just write Cleopatra, go to Wikipedia and see the shit it writes, dumb oaf. Her literal name is Greek, "Κλεοπάτρα" (Κλέος + Πάρτη) which means "Δόξα πατρίδως" = The Glory of the Homeland, her parents' names were Greek "Πτολεμαίος" = Ptolemy. Read a damn book. If you don't want to call her white then don't! No prob with that, not many people consider us white anyways. What she was is *Greek* .
LOTRings used graphics & well made up & well performed actors in elves & other bipedal creatures & was as good but the Hobbit used only graphics for the same & it showed. A blend is always better.
This is, without a doubt, the best scene in the entire film! And just imagine how long it took to film this scene! With all the costumes, the choreography, the extras, the music, the set designs, and this being only 9 minutes (the ENTIRE scene) out of a 4-hour long film, I mean, come on, it’s no wonder why this film very nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox Studios! But even after nearly 60 years, it’s still a classic film that was an investment well worth spent!
I'm totally agree that this movie debasted the economy of 20 century fox, but in the other hand they conquered the entire film industry worldwide, with art!
Just watched this film a couple of hours ago. The amount of work that the actors and choreographers had to do to create a breathtaking scene is pretty impressive and the fact that this was filmed in 1963 shows the impeccable talent that people shows. Truly one of my favorites.

I've visited Egypt on my own. Saw some of Tutankhamen's goods when they visited US in 1977. Egyptian museum is astounding... beyond words. Loved Luxor and all.... amazed ceilings at Karnak still had paint. Egyptian people were also wonderful. I want to return
Romans were ashamed to admit that a woman could rule the country so well, so they made up stories on how she seduced powerful men with her beauty to get the power. Their pride couldn't admit Cleopatra's intelligence and wit.
@@belle3055 but if Netflix made a documentary about MLK or Malcolm X using a white actor, it’d be a problem, right? So where do you draw the line between historical accuracy and what you see as racism?
In an interview Elizabeth Taylor said that during the scene where the slaves are carrying her and son down the stairs on that self leveling platform (they had to do a couple of takes), she said she was so terrified, that she was holding on to the back of that kids hair so hard, that she almost ripped the kids hair out by the roots!
Imagine how much that self-leveling chair weighed that the people carrying it had to carry. it had to have enough weight below the pivot to offset Elizabeth Taylor and the kid, plus the rest of the structure. The people carrying it had a lot to lift.
It was all fizz and no gin. All historically-inaccurate spectacle that boils down to a fairly banal middle-aged romance (Liz and Dick were far more convincing in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which was, shall we say, more historically accurate). Problem is, at bottom you need a script with something meaningful to say.
It wasn’t a flop movie,but the scandal around the romance between Liz Taylor and Richard Burton was a bigger sensation ,all news paper were paying more attention to the romance then the movie itself as a result few people went to watch the movie ,Twenty century Fox lost a ton of money !

The little boy who played Cleopatra son was really frightened being up on that high sphinx. Elizabeth Taylor reassured the little digger that everything was going to be ok while the scene was being filmed.
Wasn’t that caesarion

@Mystical Damsel she was black!!
@@ishtarxx6768 Lol Cleopatra VII Philopator (Κλεοπᾰ́τρᾱ Φιλοπάτωρ) was 100% a Macedonian Greek woman, a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty and a descendant of it's founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great.
@@eros-arcana lol she was middle eastern
@@ishtarxx6768 What a fucking morron, Go search fucking Wikipedia you idiot. Y'all are literally trying to erase our history, fuck you. Just write Cleopatra, go to Wikipedia and see the shit it writes, dumb oaf. Her literal name is Greek, "Κλεοπάτρα" (Κλέος + Πάρτη) which means "Δόξα πατρίδως" = The Glory of the Homeland, her parents' names were Greek "Πτολεμαίος" = Ptolemy. Read a damn book. If you don't want to call her white then don't! No prob with that, not many people consider us white anyways. What she was is *Greek* .

A true masterpiece without cgi. Well done to all.
LOTRings used graphics & well made up & well performed actors in elves & other bipedal creatures & was as good but the Hobbit used only graphics for the same & it showed. A blend is always better.
Thanks
I love it.
Não podemos esquecer que Cleópatra não era tão bela... Uma mulher comum sem formosura.
I had anxiety attack when she was being taken down.

Same😳
I saw an interview of her were she said she was afraid to throw up while going down the stairs
@FuckYouGoogle thank you. 😊 we radiate BIG PUSSY ENERGY!! Pussy for the win!!

This is, without a doubt, the best scene in the entire film! And just imagine how long it took to film this scene! With all the costumes, the choreography, the extras, the music, the set designs, and this being only 9 minutes (the ENTIRE scene) out of a 4-hour long film, I mean, come on, it’s no wonder why this film very nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox Studios! But even after nearly 60 years, it’s still a classic film that was an investment well worth spent!
This is basically a dick measuring contest.
It's Cleo showing the Roman civilization her two ancient civilizations, the Egyptian and the Greek.
No entire film industry in world best scene
* In the entire film industry..
I'm totally agree that this movie debasted the economy of 20 century fox, but in the other hand they conquered the entire film industry worldwide, with art!
Where is the location do you know about?
Taylor's "wink" I'm sure that wasn't in the script.
Priceless.
Every time I watch her wink, I feel my knees buckling.
🎉 love these old movies ❤

"FASHIONABLY LATE"---
Just watched this film a couple of hours ago. The amount of work that the actors and choreographers had to do to create a breathtaking scene is pretty impressive and the fact that this was filmed in 1963 shows the impeccable talent that people shows. Truly one of my favorites.

Cleopatra was not so pretty.
She was just too smart and used it to seduce.
Yeah her wiles and charm.
Romans were ashamed to admit that a woman could rule the country so well, so they made up stories on how she seduced powerful men with her beauty to get the power. Their pride couldn't admit Cleopatra's intelligence and wit.
And how do you know it?
Kleopatra didn’t cover her face and perfume was used by women long before her.
You weren’t there so how would you know?
I came after Netflix Cleopatra.. and i'm sure almost EVERYONE is LOL
Which is better lol? I’ve seen neither so far.
Of course they will say that the White one is better🙄

@@maximilian1272 i g g a
@@belle3055 but if Netflix made a documentary about MLK or Malcolm X using a white actor, it’d be a problem, right? So where do you draw the line between historical accuracy and what you see as racism?
Now it would be Liz Taylor and a CGI crowd
Jonas Blane II no not really
Yh lol
Jonas Blane II yea right
And only a 20 second parade
In an interview Elizabeth Taylor said that during the scene where the slaves are carrying her and son down the stairs on that self leveling platform (they had to do a couple of takes), she said she was so terrified, that she was holding on to the back of that kids hair so hard, that she almost ripped the kids hair out by the roots!
Imagine how much that self-leveling chair weighed that the people carrying it had to carry. it had to have enough weight below the pivot to offset Elizabeth Taylor and the kid, plus the rest of the structure. The people carrying it had a lot to lift.

No garbage A I either!
Netflix at the very least should have watched this first before casting since they don't use actual history
Racist
I don't know why they say this was flop movie. It was the most incredible original production. 2 years in the making! That's beyond amazing.
It was a flop in a financial sense. It nearly bankrupted the studio and it was many years before it turned a profit.
@@essaboselin5252 in a way its actually amazing it turned a profit in the first place since its so expensive
It was all fizz and no gin. All historically-inaccurate spectacle that boils down to a fairly banal middle-aged romance (Liz and Dick were far more convincing in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which was, shall we say, more historically accurate). Problem is, at bottom you need a script with something meaningful to say.
It wasn’t a flop movie,but the scandal around the romance between Liz Taylor and Richard Burton was a bigger sensation ,all news paper were paying more attention to the romance then the movie itself as a result few people went to watch the movie ,Twenty century Fox lost a ton of money !
@@Edithmedjdoubwhen the broadcast rights were sold to ABC is when it made its money back
Cleopatra was not black

Almost as beautiful as that other Egyptian queen, Nefertiti. Stunning effects and stunningly beautiful actress.
True my friend , she was most beautiful woman in the world
