I saw the trailer for this shitshow the other day. The black actress who plays Cleopatra isn't even attractive or interesting, which I thought would be two requirements to play that role. The rest of the cast looks like the Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at your local community college. The left has made movies and TV shows and even cartoons and art so ugly, gross, dark, and unappealing. Whenever I'm in the mood to watch anything these days, which is rare, I just put on something from decades ago when the actors could act, they had a spark about them, and the movies told a story.
The funny thing about Cleopatra is that according to everyone writing about her, she wasn't a knock-out beauty at all; at best, she was pretty enough, but she intelligent, cultured, witty, multilingual, and the first Ptolemy ruler who spoke Egyptian (up to that point, spoke Greek in court and for business). She also had the people's touch and was a blast at parties.
Tl;dr: she was one of history's first instances of "... but she has a great personality!".

Makes sense, she was incredibly inbred.
