Cleopatra review- Chase



    This specific screenshot from the movie Cleopatra gave me literal chills. Caesar was betrayed by his own men and brutally murdered. He was stabbed by 7 of his men a total of 23 times. One of these men was Antony and that was just completely unexpected. This cruel act of betrayal left me completely astonished. After this I could not help but be on the edge of my seat for the rest of the movie. It left me wondering what would happen next? Who would they betray next? Well come to find out, it was their own people that they would betray next.

    This is a crucial and chilling scene, just as you say. I was hoping, however, that you would look at the shot and then describe in detail what in the shot creates this chill? How do the arrangement of people in the frame (the mise-en-scene), the lighting, the type of shot, the angle, etc. contribute to the effect the scene makes on us as viewers?
