- 'I, Claudius' was over 10 hours long and done on a micro budget compared to McDowell's Caligula, the actors made it work. Derek Jacobi and a huge cast of old pros were astounding but John Hurt owned every scene he was in. Malcolm was a bit of a ham sometimes but his Clockwork Alex was good prep for the role.

Plus Rome wasn't just all Italian people, in fact you can't exactly really call them Italian either then as Rome was settled by the Greeks and Etruscans, plus Roman wasn't a race, it was just a nationality, any anyone could be Roman if they lived in the Roman Republic or Empire, Rome was pretty diverse for its time due to how many lands they had conquered. Also the Roman statues were specifically designed to reflect how a person really looked, so they'd include wrinkles, any warts or any noticeable pimples, etc. Nero is recognizable bc his statues has a neckbeard and he has a slight double chin.

Back when the movie was released, I recall reading that many of the principal scenes were shot by Tinto Brass; then - separately - Bob Guccione Jr shot additional "supporting" footage (i.e. the pornographic scenes) a bit later. The porn scenes were edited into the principal photography, so that the final, released version of the film was far worse than anything the stars thought they were working on. (Allegedly, a few of the stars attempted to have their scenes removed from the movie, but that went nowhere.)

OK but I'd watch Art Squad. With zeal.

[@thegreencat9947]

The Monuments Men?

[@kam_lam13]

What would I do with a piece of Caligula's boat: throw holy water on it? ... but seriously, I love Helen Mirren's description

[@Passions5555]

You think it would blow up if you did

That freakin' kid needed a little boot to the keister. Wait... he might have liked that. 🤔

Love this channel. I would have done so much better in history if this channel taught it.

[@eddiesroom1868]

Ya I might have gone to class

[@LEGENDSIN4KREMASTERED]

Reminds me of Aerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones who was also known as the “The Mad King”.

I saw the movie on accident it was in my stepfathers stash and I put it in the VHS and got my young teenage heart rate up lol! It was extreme for back then but it was good

Always the hate bait gets taken. Hate a government administrator, then watch opportunity knock. Caligula was deliberately gaslit in a very violent way, imo

[@Garbeaux.]

I see where you’re saying he was manipulated but that only goes so far.

[@OkefenokeeStone]

history belongs to the victor

[@zeronzemesh7718]

Your cadence and inflection pleases me

[@johncavanaugh1015]

Caligula's grandfathers were Drusus and Agrippa, not Julius Caesar. Caesar was his great, great, great uncle.

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Really glossed over how completely twisted he was to his own people.

Thank you

I would have loved to see that coffee table on "Antiques Roadshow"!
