The peplum had a sense of light and space that added to the mythic qualities of the films. Wish directors could "get" that.Pat Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17546848088853626735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-38426031673262736312011-11-02T09:20:26.895-04:002011-11-02T09:20:26.895-04:00Tarsem's films always have amazing design elem...Tarsem's films always have amazing design elements and he casts the most beautiful people!<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to this one.scottlukaswilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772976817701511919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-57669228594037826002011-11-01T10:29:49.202-04:002011-11-01T10:29:49.202-04:00The problem with Harryhausen kind of effects is th...The problem with Harryhausen kind of effects is that they were pretty stiff and static. The camera stayed on one or two shots and that's it. I agree that today's fx are more fluid and chaotic. I wished they didn't film these modern PEPLUMS in studios all the time though.PEPLUM cinemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052922198741178249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-31552795446474522902011-11-01T06:06:18.976-04:002011-11-01T06:06:18.976-04:00Although I have seen some fight scenes that look r...Although I have seen some fight scenes that look really vicious, where the hero is tossed around and was almost outclassed. Personally, I prefer today's special affects as opposed to the Harryhousen kind.Steven Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285355643172321289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-14229333421610972182011-10-30T00:13:26.374-04:002011-10-30T00:13:26.374-04:00True.
