The first two sentences of your post above on Cleopatra do not make sense and need rephrasing.
All of the movies on Cleopatra are based more on the Shakespeare plays than on historical reality - it makes for better movies. She really did not understand Rome or Roman politics and key events in the conflict between Octavian and Anthony that didn't involve her [eg. the Armies' refusal to fight each other in 40 BC, Anthony's later defeat against the Parthians] are ignored

?
What does this mean?
"One of the aspects works on Cleopatra avoid at all cost..."
OK I finally got it, I had to rephrase it in my mind as:
"One aspect that works about Cleopatra avoid at all cost..."
Very informative post about Cleopatra and films. Thanks.
