mdehnersIf you like Sword & Sandal Romances, you'll like this one. "Jack Bauer" as a Roman General and Senator though;>? Have to admit though, he should dress that way more often;>...
This is NOT an accurate portrayal of the events, though the majority of the architecture and city plan are(BIG changes on the villa, stadium and harbor though). As to be expected, the real events weren't dramatic enough for Hollywood, though I do admit the Special Effects are Spectacular.
I've always had a "thing" for Pompeii. My Mom has saved drawings I did in elementary school that in later yrs were discovered to interestingly match up to the forum and temple...including the erupting volcano placed accurately. Like other Past Life stuff of mine I tend to give more credence than much of what's out there because my recollections are always less dramatic and impressive.
Cheers,
Pat
