On your knees! Cleopatra cuts the Roman Empire into thirds.

It is a considerable mistake to pretend to have power or even recognition in the presence of "real power". Here Cleopatra clearly reveals that she may cut the Roman Empire into pieces should she wish. She merely cuts it into thirds and puts the Roman representative on his knees.

Most media portray Cleopatra with a princess persona. Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra is that of a QUEEN.

The way Richard Burton flicks that cape is a thing of cinematic greatness 🤩

There was no CGI back then...yet the production design was so impressive better than CGI today

Cleopatra could speak, read and write, seven different languages. She was brilliant.

There is absolutely no way a super epic film like this one could be made today. The sheer super nova star power and chemistry of Liz and Dick, the beautiful enormous sets and dazzling costumes, the wide eye-popping cinematography, I mean, this movie is why we want to go the movies.

"I asked it of Julius Caesar. I DEMAND it of You!!"

Richard Burton was embarrassed that his tunic was so short. The Studio wanted to show off his legs. Looking at it now, it does look pretty dumb. Great scene!!

No one can carry off Cleopatra like Liz. She had such incredible charisma and audacity.

[AirJet-kr]

She speaks her words like a striking razor-sharp sword... Elizabeth Taylor is astonishing and beautiful as well...

[cleopatras]

Antoninus “you’re asking for 1/3”… Cleopatra “Put it another way, I gave to you 2/3” Love this, so powerful ❤

Elizabeth Taylor cannot be replaced in the next 100 decades

He walked in there a pompous man. He left as a humbled eunuch.
