I wish filmmakers and scriptwriters would stop insulting women by desecrating literature which women like and giving a nod to them as if all women seek is to be warrior queens or to be masculine. As if this is their power fantasy that they want to live up to and they can't relate to women that aren't this or something.
@skells How come?
@sim wooed Caesar and Marc Anthony, prototype of feminine power I'd say, an extremely shrewd political operator
also various sources suggest she wasn't particularly attractive, just incredibly charming and intelligent
@sim archetype*
@skells Interesting. I suppose I should look closer at her example. Especially since she managed to woo some powerful men like this.
@sim somewhat dubious historical accuracy but the screen above is from BBCs Rome which is very enjoyable, paints the various strata of Roman society and their interaction very nicely and the relationship between Caesar and Brutus is especially well done
@skells Yeah. An interesting scene here.
