Thank you,

The CLARITY in the US version is like looking through a plate glass window. Not just in selected scenes, but through the entire movie. You'll know in the first 30 seconds of the pop up menu as it roams through a few scans until you hit the play button.
Example#1 the blue dress that Liz is wearing on the barge as she stands under a canopy, now shows the PATTERN of the dress better than before.
Example#2 the slaves that carry Liz down off the black sphinx had SILVER colored paint that looked like lighting bolts got COLOR CORRECTED and now show the true color of GOLD lightning bolts that MATCH the GOLD BRACELETS, that match the GOLD throne Liz sits on that match the gold dress THAT LIZ WEARS. All previous disks don't have it right with the silver color.
Example #3 On the barge that meet Marc Anthony, at the banquet, Liz shows up wearing a sheer white gown on all the old disks.The new US disk now color corrected, shows the there is a lovely pale pink of the most delicate shade and the white sheer is actually a overlay kind of see through cape?( Sorry I do not know what it is called in fashion lingo.
Example#4 in a battle scene, where the roman legions make what is called "the turtle" formation ( Men on the inside, shields and spears on the outside) You see amazing clarity on the designs on the shields. And this is in a scene filmed IN LOW LIGHT!
Example#5 in the entry into Rome - The African dancers have straw fringes on their arms and legs. The GREEN color now pops in new clarity, To be fair the old disks showed some color ,but not like this.
ODD? because of this new clarity, I noticed that there are TWO white pyramids in the background. You see the first after the semi nude lady dances. then a group of females appears with gold colored wings and behind that is the pyramid with the pigeons getting released. After Liz bows to Cesar, the camera cuts to a background shout of the arch of Titus? look quick and notice TWO of the identical pyramids. To me this suggests that something was cut from the entrance procession. because you never see the second pyramid enter and you see BOTH at EACH SIDE of the arch. Hummmmmmmmmmmm makes me wonder what else was cut from the procession. Was it not enough time?
PS: I'm writing this from memory so if there are a few misstatements I invite corrections. Just don't be so G.D. haughty in your comments. Oh, and don't bother pointing out grammar or spelling.
This movie is a saga all its own, as it took much longer to make and cost way more than expected. There were huge sets, thousands of extras, land and sea battles, and large parts of the cities of Rome and Alexandria. I mean, like, what could go wrong?
What's been done here is all the edits and cuts which could be found have been restored, and the entire four hours is arranged as much as possible to be what it was originally intended.
Well, it was originally intended to be two separate movies, which is obvious, but sticking it all together into one makes sense historically and dramatically. If you can just buckle down and hang in there, it's one grand experience and trip through history.
The writing and the cast and the entire setting and pacing seem just right. One gets the feeling that Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and Antony were really like this, and you get the feel for how the Egyptian dynasties and the Roman Empire worked.
Elizabeth Taylor is nothing short of magnificent as Cleopatra, and the way she manipulates Caesar and Antony is probably historically correct. If her entrance into Rome was anything like the depiction here, it's no wonder she came just so close to ruling the known world at the time.
Get this, make a giant tub of popcorn, and just settle in and watch the whole thing!

One of the facts that is much bounded around that I learnt about in the extras is that this film almost bankrupted the studio and they had to see off a lot of their land....This is totally wrong as much of the old studio back lot was plabbed to be sold off even before the film had gone into production....another Hollywood myth then destroyed....and so it should be. Great package all round and highly recommend it to any Burton/Taylor fan or Hollywood blockbuster epic fans ot anyone really. A film of the likes you will probably never see again.
