also loved how cleopatra was always honouring isis, be it verbally talking about the goddess or in her outfits. goddess worship is a powerful thing and it definitely inspired me. it showed in the way she carried herself. the real cleopatra was said to have been exquisitely charming and seductive, as well as being determined to rule egypt as best as she could. she was the only person in her dynasty who even bothered to learn the egyptian language!

eve of ides by david blixt (constant loud wailing + funny scenes with antony);
hbo rome (peak fiction. idc.);
cleopatra (1963) (antony looks so cunty in that miniskirt. him and cleopatra are literally malewife and girlboss);

julius caesar (1953) (cassius...thoughts abt cassius...)

My favorite characters in this film are the side roles that are internally screaming at Antony, Cleopatra and Octavian’s questionable judgments:
Rufio: Don’t you think the boat with pink perfume and scantily clad women might be an attempt to seduce--
Antony: Negotiations are GO baby!
Tumblr media
Octavian: Hey, I know your husband only died six months ago, but what if...you and Antony...
Octavia: Little brother, I love you, but if you don’t shut up I will stick a gladius in your spleen.
Tumblr media
And yep, Octavian is absolutely coded as either gay or asexual here. It’s mainly in the actor’s intonation and mannerisms. Agrippa’s here too, though the filmmakers decided to make him one of Caesar’s generals instead of Octavian’s childhood friend.
Tumblr media
But my favorite thing is that two hours in, the filmmakers have skipped everything that would make Octavian actually villainous: the proscriptions, the betrayal of Cicero, the torture of Brutus and Cassius’ men, and whatever the hell happened at Perusia. But they kept several of Antony’s insults to Octavian. So if you don’t know history it just looks like Antony bullying a random blond twink.

I love Roddy McDowall’s performance in Cleopatra (1963). He doesn’t have that many talking scenes (4 hour movie) but he slays in all of them .
