#beginning a collection of sorts#web weaving but it's very literal#ptolemy's corpse is under the tarp btw. it matters#i wouldn't say i liked all of that 2022 production but the representation of sextus and cornelia's relationship was. oof. something.#(cleopatra and ptolemy too!)#anyway. STATUES AND GHOSTS :D and revenge/curses on the side#two of these instances are octavian being a little fucked up#and two others are mankiewicz going 'what if there was a statue of caesar?'#(technically there are many cool uses of statues in julius caesar 1953 cf brutus but they're a little different i think)#also included: cassius's manipulative treasure hunt#ironically my first references weren't roman republic-related at all. i wanted to do something about don carlo praying in charlemagne's tomb#in ernani & don carlo being pulled into charles v's tomb in don carlo#because those scenes are cool as hell#cleopatra 1963#julius caesar 1953#shakespeare#giulio cesare#do i tag suetonius?? (she asks. thus tagging him)#my posts#also that bit in plutarch about cassius looking at pompey before striking caesar. didn't include it but yummy#shakespeare had the right idea statues should be covered in blood and weeping all the time#i want to find more of these.#the romanity
