Ceasar on Italian TV

[Goffredo]

Hey Italian RATs.<br>
I bet we are all watching the first Ceasar episode tonight on TV. I am pessimistic but I will enjoy it anyhow. Hope you do too. I plan to eat infront of the TV like I did when I was single. That is if my dolce-meta' (sweety-pie) lets me!<br>

terrible?<br>
<br>
Soldiery, armor: terrible and when not bad, wrong style;<br>
Battle scenes in first episode: stupid (I laughed);<br>
Scenery: not bad; sure I could nitpick but lets pass;<br>
Acting: not bad, actually enjoyed few actors;<br>
Script (dialogoues): I am still vomiting;<br>
Faithfulness to History: zero.<br>
<br>
basically I didn't mind watching it but with their resources they should have did a far better job. Hence I flunk them miserably.<br>

Disgusting,<br>
I agree. I don't understand why it's so difficult to make just acceptable historical reconstructions!<br>
Leather pseudo-segmentatae, flags , plastic swords, people fighting slowly and carefully to not get hurt,....<br>
And the characters?<br>
A Caesar weak and insignificant, Sulla looks like a mad and bloodthirsty gangster, Vercingetorix a weak copy of...Asterix!<br>
And again, stupid and childish dialogues, and... the usual rethoric about slavery!<br>
A real flop, in my opinion. What a pity!<br>

My solution to that would be to get the RATers to come up with a movie, done by RATers for RATers. Come up with a script and supervise the historical aspects for it. But I think that's already been suggested. Anyway, that's my opinion. <p></p><i></i>
