"...WHAT LITTLE WE DO KNOW IS HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SHE WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on American actress Rosario Dawson as Roxana (340-310 BC) in the epic historical drama "Alexander" (2004), directed by Oliver Stone. Roxana was a Sogdian princess of Bactria, the wife of Alexander the Great, and the mother of Alexander IV of Macedon.

Costume design: Jenny Beavan

Cinematography: Rodrigo Prieto

Production design: Jan Roelfs

BLACK FILM: "How much is known about Roxane from a historical point of view?"

RD: "Very little. There's very little [background] about her. We know more about Begolas than we know about her, and what little we do know is highly contentious about whether or not she was someone who was the love of his life or was someone who he just married because he'd already had his good standing in the area and it was a political move, or because he really just wanted an heir and suddenly got impatient to have one, all of which besides there being a strong emotional dynamic seems very unlikely. I mean, he just overthrew the Persian empire -- he doesn't exactly need Oxyardies' help, and he kind of went several years into his campaign of warring without securing an heir, and he didn't secure one that was Macedonian or Greek, which really upset a lot of his companions. He married this woman, and it was a very strange thing in part of his history and Oliver's sort of expression of what that must have been like was because of her spirit and sort of the Oedipal complex that came out because she reminded him of his mother."

The lighting and production value is top-notch for such an old film. I say the same thing for almost every biographical though(not all!): biography disease.

Okay, I have to ask, why does modern Hollywood like to make every "historical epics" look pale and dark? 😂

The historical accuracy of Enemy At The Gates might as well be on par with The Mummy but at least the bisexual love triangle somewhat makes up for it lmao

Titanic (1997, James Cameron)

20/01/2024

Titanic is a 1997 film directed, written, produced and co-edited by James Cameron.

The film is a historical epic-romantic colossal, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the roles of Jack and Rose, two members of opposite social classes who fall in love on board the ill-fated ship RMS Titanic, which actually sank on 15 April 1912, during its maiden voyage, following a crash into an iceberg. Cameron's inspiration for the film came from his passion for shipwrecks and his perception that a love story interspersed with human loss would be essential to conveying the emotional impact of the disaster. Production began in 1995, when Cameron filmed on the real Titanic wreck. The modern scenes on the research vessel were filmed on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldyš, which was used as a base during filming of the wreck in both the stage fiction and the actual film production. Scale models, computer-generated images and a reconstruction of the Titanic built at Baja Studios were used to recreate the shipwreck.

It holds the record for Oscar wins (11, in 1998), together with Ben-Hur and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, as well as the record for nominations (14), together with All About Eve and La La Land. It became the highest-grossing film in cinema history, surpassing Steven Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park, until it was surpassed in 2009 by Avatar, the film directed by Cameron after Titanic itself; as of 2023, the film occupies fourth place after Avatar, Avengers: Endgame and Avatar - The Way of Water (the latter film, also by Cameron).
