Beneficial Guideline For Roman Empire

July 14th, 2010 Star Wars Art Tags: , , , , , ,

I bought this book because I have seen it on several must read lists and lists of most important books. I love to learn in a fun, enjoyable way. This book is heavier and thicker and more difficult to read than some college textbooks. I made it to page 4 before I gave up. It is hard to believe someone would read this book for pleasure.

I want to know about the transition of the roman empire into a christian empire and its triumph.

    When I first heard of The Fall of the Roman Empire, the film, I was not impressed. First, it did badly in the theaters, was about three hours long, and while it was full of stars I pictured it being something like an ancient Playboy Estate, with lots of feasts and orgies and bloody games. Yet, many modern reviews and essays on the film suggested some real meaning within the scenes. So I finally decided to watch it.
    It was wonderful. Dialogue about power, duty, freedom. Battle scenes, yes, but also wonderful, beautiful landscapes, snow swept forests, and Rome. Not a computer generated Rome, but a Rome built in Spain with marble, and gold, and filled with hundreds of extras – many of them tourists.
    This is one of the last big toga epics, yes, but not because it was a bad film – it was just before its time. Nobody wanted to hear the messages, the warnings it was trying to deliver. Real life, with the Vietnam Conflict and the death of JFK was depressing enough without having to see it played out AGAIN on the big screen.
    But the messages are still there and just as important to us in 2010 as they were in 1964. Maybe even more so. If you want to know more about the true fall of Rome I would suggest The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Three Heritage Press Volumes which does a very good job.
    The extras are wonderful but I almost wanted more. A lot of footage was taken at the time of the producation to help sell the film, both to the public and to the backers – you can never have too much money when making a film.
    Get it! Watch it! Think over it!
