FARAON

FARAON or pharoah a 70ts flick about Ramses III was introduced to me recently, some will be annoyed that they will have to read English subtitle because the movie was made by Poles,and yes we have to forgive some creative license , etc Ramses battling the Assyrians but cinematography was great, and the costumes almost perfect, I think they must have shot with some sorta sepia filter to darken the Egyptians or they apply dark ash colored make -up, in anycase it wasn't entirely cheezy , I have to visit non English, non Hollywood movies more often there is so much more out there, pls take the time to watch it is 2 25:45 min long but for movie buff it is worth it subtitles and all.

Is it just me or am I watching a Polish movie in brown face?

They can apply post-production visualisation effects. It's easy enough to "tint" the colour of a person in the same way that a monochrome movie can be made color.

Not just you, you are watching a Polish movie in brown face, but hey at least for the era it was shot I'd look past it.

Maybe that's what they did because the Hebrews are still white.

Ill definitely be able to look past it, soon as it stops being hilarious ...

Slight correction guys I thought the film was from the 70ts actually it's from 1966.
