RE: ShortFilm: Nobody Nose Cleopatra (2017)
The writers of these short films are always looking to do something different in exchange for making the viewer have a different opinion of a character than what he or she originally had.
For me, I don't particularly like writers who, instead of providing findings that are recognized, interesting or important, are only looking for personal sensationalism.
If you ask every story about Cleopatra is always about her nose and bad temper. Interesting fact is she was an great ruler and very intelligent. Can it be that's the reason why the remark of the writer is is taken literally (or was it envy).
if it comes to writers of short stories (also those of short films) there's no time to dive into many details and aspects unlike with normal or long films. So it is an art to write a short story and make it interesting.
Like you I also don't like it if the history is changed and there's no attention for who she really was.
What people see they take for the truth.
It is already known that she was a beautiful woman, with big eyes, perhaps her nose did not matter much to her and her people. What is important are the stories told about her life. Her achievements, the position she held, how she imposed her criteria. How she managed to impress also two legendary men of the past. The legacies she left behind. How he came to occupy a position as pharaoh of Egypt.
It's interesting to find out and delve into all the stories that are told about her, but her nose,? it doesn't really interest me.
There was nothing wrong with her nose and she didn't suffer because of it.
That writer had an expression, like there are many expressions and idioms referring to noses, ears, eyes and hearts. Some idiot with a lack of brain thought there was something with her nose and you know how it works and how fast a gossip is spread. It's hard to kill stupidity and lies than anything else.
