History Forum / General / Ancient History / August 2007Season Two of HBO Rome
Did people see it and like it? I notice its come out as a DVD, and plan to invest the ten hours to watch it. Due to reconfiguration of my cable company, I was able to swee the first season by not the second. I like the "upstairs/downstairs" plot of the first season, plus the certain raunchiness. > Did people see it and like it? > I notice its come out as a DVD, and plan to invest the ten hours to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I like the "upstairs/downstairs" plot of the first season, > plus the certain raunchiness. The ending of the second season was completely ridiculous and totally disappointing because it threw all history out of the window in favour of a conspiracy theory. The way it was written and acted in the last two episode looked like the characters were copied straight out of Red Sonja (the deposed king and his fat bodyguard). > > Did people see it and like it? > > I notice its come out as a DVD, and plan to invest the ten hours to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > looked like the characters were copied straight out of Red Sonja (the > deposed king and his fat bodyguard). Is this a DVD of the recent BBC TV series? If so it is essentially a fictional drama based on actual events. I enjoyed it. Shakespeare's Macbeth is almost totally fictional as it has a very English bias. It is still a masterpiece.

Also the research about ordinary life in Rome was good. Yes it did take a few liberties with the history.  SignatureCorporate society looks after everything. All it asks of anyone, all it has ever asked of anyone, is that they do not interfere with management decisions. -From “Rollerball” > Did people see it and like it? > I notice its come out as a DVD, and plan to invest the ten hours to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I like the "upstairs/downstairs" plot of the first season, > plus the certain raunchiness. It's a good watch, well produced, good production values, good acting. If you liked the first season you will like this one. You might want to try the library or rental store before deciding to buy it.

With all the money they spent on it you'd have expected them to have shown the naval battle between Octavian and Marc Anthony but they showed none of it, not even in CGI. It's just like Alexander where they totally ignored the battle of Tyre which was fought at sea. > You might want to try the library or rental store before deciding to buy > it. >>> Did people see it and like it? >>> I notice its come out as a DVD, and plan to invest the ten hours to [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > none of it, not even in CGI.

And given the audience enamored with bible epics they would probably think the depiction of the ships is all wrong. For the record, CGI of scenes at sea which are other than placid are very expensive and still don't look right. Water is difficult to make look right with any kind of splashing and waves interacting with objects. The best I have seen of dynamic water was Stargate Atlantis when they brought the city to the surface and that was simply falling and while impressive not that realistic.

The TITANIC movie it is worth checking out for this. http://www.infilm.com.au/reviews/titanic.htm >> For the record, CGI of scenes at sea which are other than placid are very >> expensive and still don't look right.

When there would have been a need for good looking CGI water it was at night and from a distance. And even in calm water you can film a real wake and put a CGI ship into it.
