The cinematography, costume designs, building structures, acting, dialogue and the story makes Cleopatra a cinematic masterpiece. It's in my Top 100 Favorite Movies of all time.
Yes, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton deserve special praise. For me so much of the film is carried on their shoulders. It helps ground the drama too so we don't get lost in all the elaborate sets. You have to be reminded its not a fantasy, this really happened.
Mom loved this movie. She was 29 when it came out. I was still five years away. We watched it every year when it came on TV. I think it was a Sunday event. The whole house stopped and watched it with mom.
The Netflix Cleopatra reminded me of this movie. It's 4 hours long and I wasn't bored for a minute. I don't know how historically accurate it is, but at least its makers never called it a documentary.
It’s pretty historically accurate. Cleopatra was Southeast European, so white, and Elizabeth Taylor is a Jewish/American actress, also white, and she could pass as Greek.
@@Angel_Auraa lol no, it is way more accurate than the netflix thing, but it is far from accurate. some of those constumes, the way cleopatra has her hair,... etc
It's pretty accurate I think, though we have Shakespeare to thank for making this story so well known. Richard Burton was terrific in this, I loved him in Becket too.
This classic masterpiece is properly advertised as an Epic Romantic Drama.... there's no pretense of it as documentary. It was played by three acting legends.

Both Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are fantastic in this film. That combined with the enermous production values make this extremely enjoyable viewing. Excellent film.
RIP Sir Rex Harrison (March 5, 1908 - June 2, 1990), aged 82 RIP Richard Burton (November 10, 1925 - August 5, 1984), aged 58 RIP Dame Elizabeth Taylor (February 27, 1932 - March 23, 2011), aged 79 You will be remembered as legends.
Elizabeth Taylor could pass as Greek lady. Not sure why Egypt banned this movie. Doesn’t matter now, because they’re more angry at blackwashed Cleopatra. 😂
After I watched this movie I become obsessed with the story. As much as I’m curious about cleopatra and antony’s tomb, I hope they’ll never found it tho, let both of them rest in peace, their kids being paraded in gold chains by octavian was horrible enough.
i remember my mother made me sit throught this.all i cared about was to see the 20th century fox logo which i thought was random yet epic.then i went to sleep and woke up finding out there was still 2 hours and 20 minutes left
The initial version was way over 5 hours and it was supposed to be split in 2 movies. First one focusing on Cleopatra and Cesar and the second one on her and Antony. But the producers were afraid that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton would separate by the time the second movie was in the theaters and affect its popularity since their love affair was the main thing that was attracting the public. The movie director and the actors were appalled by this decision because they thought it absolutely downgraded the quality of the movie. E. Taylor said she went out and threw up when she saw the final cut at the premiere. I liked the movie though. Give it a try.
Burton's screen performances were always uneven, especially his early roles where he so overacted to the point of near hysteria that he was often exhausting to watch. He was better later in his career, and his last movie role in Orwell's _1984_ was his best. Taylor disliked _Cleopatra_ describing it as vulgar.
I have to admit that I was so disappointed by this massive epic, and I only saw the 3 hrs version. The script is a mess, even though the actors give it a dignity it doesn't deserve. As I much as I like Richard Burton and Rex Harrison, I think the original choices of, Stephen Boyd, and Peter Finch would have been much stronger. Elizabeth Taylor was totally wrong for Cleopatra. Yes, she looked very beautiful, she also looked utterly bored stiff. Only at the very end did she really move me to tears. Please remember that this is only my opinion. As the messenger said in Mr Shakespeare's? 'Antony and Cleopatra', "Don't shoot the Messenger".
Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than to the construction of the pyramids. When Cleopatra was born in 69 B.C., the pyramids which were constructed in 2560 B.C. had already been around for 2491 years. The moon landing in 1969 happened just 2038 years after Cleopatra was born.
@@anthonycbrown1952yes this period had some great epics, Ben Hur, Quo Vadis?, Lawrence of Arabia, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, The Vikings. It all just got too expensive though I think, the big studio systems collapsed by it allowed new younger film-makers to emerge like Martin Scorses, George Lucas, Steven Speilberg.
This movie was so expensive that, even though it was the highest grossing film of 1963, it still lost money. I heard that, if the budget were adjusted for inflation, it would still rank among the most expensive movies of all time.
If it hadn't won so many awards and hadn't been such a box-office smash, "Cleopatra" would have definitely gone down in history as the film that drove 20th-Century Fox into the ground. It nearly happened, due to so many added expenses, production delays, uncooperative weather, and not the least, the Taylor-Burton affair. But to see Liz's triumphal entrance into Rome, you forget about all that. It's magnificent.
The most Magnificent Feast for the eyes ! No computerized BS. REAL SETS and EXTRAS. TAYLOR at her most beautiful. Real romance on the real screen. A Masterpiece of a music score. Holds up even today as a true EPIC MASTERPIECE ! Could you tell I liked it ? Many say CLEOPATRA was black (fact IS she was GREEK). Some say CLEOPATRA DIDN'T look like her. CLEOPATRA had a reputation of being the most beautiful, seductive woman at that time. If you're doing a film of her, you get THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, SEDUCTIVE ACTRESS to portray her. Get it ? Richard Burton was nominated in 1954 for BEST ACTOR in "THE ROBE". He is far superior in this film and should have received an Oscar Nomination for Best Actor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💙💙💙💙
They kissed this way because during the time they made this film the "Movie Ratings" were done differently. Unlike today where everything is oversexualized, they didn't allow it on films then. Thinking back, this was around the time of "Leave it to beaver & Lucy" days, they didn't even air television shows with a man and woman in the same bed, it was 2 separate beds on film.
Elizabeth Taylor is the only actress who played Cleopatra as a Queen. All the others played her as a princess. That's why she's so everlasting. Another one who might have played her as a queen migth've been Theda Bara. To give you an idea of how big Elizabeth Taylor was at that time: she and Marilyn Monroe were both at Fox Studios at the same time. Marilyn was filming her last film as ELizabeth was filming Cleopatra. Marilyn got 100k for the movie, while Taylor got USD 1.000.000 for Cleo. Monroe died in a very tragic and marketeable way. Elizabeth didn't.
This was very disrespectful to the memory of Marilyn Monroe who was very abused by the men the industry and to this day the media. She might not have been a great actress as Taylor but she's surely an iconic figure

I'm Egyptian, A COPTIC CHRISTIAN EGYPTIAN, I shout that out loud because we are the most pure blooded Egyptians out there and that's not only my opinion that's what Egyptologists, Historians and Scientists also agreed on , and I tell you that every word that Bassem Youssef said is right and I totally agree with him. Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like? With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans.

She was white, the director of the Netflix decided to change her nationality because of personal reasons, her documentary is filled with opinions but not much research.
I gotta admit, it's extremely jarring seeing this after having seen Richard Burton in Becket (doubly ironic considering Cleopatra came out one year after the former). Talk about clashing roles.
@Swinebagger Hatevirus because that's close to the Balkans as I said. Cleopatra wasn't macedonian anyway you dummy! (and Aristotle and Alexander the great were macedonian but Not white for that matter)
I thought this was a dud all the way. The biggest mistake was having Mankiewicz as director. He simply was not up to the staging the big scenes or big battles. Actium looks like it took place in a pool. Taylor turned Alexandria into a Beverly Hills boudoir. Her voice was always limited. If you can imagine what say Spielberg could have done with this, you can see why it came off as dull as it did.

The one I found was 3 hour 40 mins

It's completely worth it! Even if you have to split it into two viewings, you must watch
There is a movie Cleopatra 1999 which is super underrated but if you ask me is better than this one it’s 2 hours

I liked the movie though. Give it a try.
I realise that its just a short snippet but the chemistry between Rex Harrison and Elizabeth was much more natural than that between her and burton
Richard Burton was so annoying in the movie!
Burton's screen performances were always uneven, especially his early roles where he so overacted to the point of near hysteria that he was often exhausting to watch.
He was better later in his career, and his last movie role in Orwell's _1984_ was his best.
Taylor disliked _Cleopatra_ describing it as vulgar.
Disagree, I thought he was brilliant as a once proud man driven mad self-destructive love, the bit where he charges the roman cavalry is great.
@@splinterbyrdhave you seen him in Becket? He's superb in that movie..

A very important film in the history of the world.
Time and perspective has shown this film outlasted the critics and was an epic moment in cinema. The scale and talent is epic.
