In order to create a real naval battle scene, MGM decided to create a fake warship of the ancient Roman period, so the producer found an expert who dedicated his life to the research of ancient Roman shipbuilding technology.
While shooting the scene inside the ship, the crew found that the huge 65mm camera had nowhere to go, and had to get the big ship out of the pond, cut it in half longitudinally, and set it in an Italian studio for shooting. However, after a set of shots were taken, the crew found that the oars suddenly became lighter, and the actors' paddle movements were unnatural, so they sent people to buy an elastic piston device, which is usually installed on the door to make the door gentle. Turn off automatically. This device was later installed between the oar and the hull, and the resistance it provided allowed the actors to find the feeling of paddling.
There are a lot of tanks used when shooting Penn. 18 acres of location, 1,000 buildings, 43 cameras, 18 chariots, 5 weeks of shooting time, 78 horses and countless apples. It is said that 15,000 people appeared in the chariot race. background actor.

    The first three hours were all masterpieces. After watching the special effects of this one, you can understand that "2001: A Space Odyssey" is not a standout. The rhythm is too slow and sensational, and it's really a bit frustrating. I glanced at the 25-year edition and found that, especially the horse racing section, it was almost completely copied and dropped one star.

    Can't believe this is a gorgeous and magnificent scene from a movie from fifty years ago...
