Not the recent reconstruction with the Moroder/rock soundtrack, but the restored edition with the orchestral soundtrack. It includes all the found footage (in, alas, various states of decay). And look for Lang's other films (M, Frau im Mond, etc.). Amazing stuff. Actually, I’d recommend looking for the most recent DVD release.

]]> Comment on Roma Eterna (What if Rome never fell?) by Rob http://www.ancientromerefocused.org/2010/08/roma-eterna-what-if-rome-never-fell/#comment-2650 Rob Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:40:22 +0000 http://www.ancientromerefocused.org/?p=1406#comment-2650 I suppose the only reason I brought up the names changing at all, is the sound of English changed over the years. Would not Cantebury Tales sound a bit harsh to our ear if read today in the proper dialect of that age? Wasn't there a high Latin spoken by the patricians and a low Latin spoken by the plebians? Oh, I agree a morphed Latin over the centuries would reflect more so the Roman than English or Germanic roots. The question is...how would it sound? I don't know if the only thing would change is the accent, time usually does more than that. English has changed due to various influences.
