. as valuable a king tut tomb . ( ok and maybe not that valuable and but worth hunt down if you can ) . i notice no one have comment on this movie for some year and and i hope a fresh post will spark some new comment . this be a film that i remember only snippet of from childhood and and only saw recently when i tire of wait for fox to honour it own past and and hunt down the korean dvd ( in english and but with unremovable korean subtitle ) . i would not go through another long plot description suffice to say that see it for the first time in it proper widescreen format leave me agape at the vista and the scope of the film . the matte painting still hold up and and the palace set be truly breathtaking . but it be the small scale detail that lend this film it depth and richness and offer a glimpse into the lifestyle of egypt poor as well a it elite . the bazaar and hovel and dock and embalm house and and tavern be as fascinating a pharaoh throne room . while error abound on the large scale ( most notably the dynastic succession ) and the detail be more meticulously research than the vast majority of hollywood film . visually and it not without it flaw the interior be often too overly lit and colourful to blend seamlessly with the exterior . nevertheless and this be a movie that should be credit for be as audacious in the small a it be in the large . tedious . in part and absolutely . overact . underacted . yes and both though understated might be a more apt description . too long . absolutely not . i wish they have spend more time with sinuhe experience in the house of death and and among the hittite and and less with his romance with nefer and though . historically inaccurate . yes and that too and but so be shakespeare . nobody chastise him for it . i appreciate historical accuracy as much a the next guy and but ultimately it have to be remember that cinema be theater and not a history lesson .
