whenever the female enters political propaganda as a figure she must always be erotiziced and she must be a slut, a succubus, a sexy seductress. no humanity is given to her.
Honestly can't be too surprised that historical armor crafted by real masters like Kolman Helmschmid is more appealing than armor conceived by "revolutionary thinkers in the film industry"

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is 105 years old and its production design still looks like nothing else in cinema. German Expressionism gave horror its visual vocabulary and the genre has been drawing on that account ever since
On his twenty-first birthday, Prince Siegfried escapes into the woods to hunt, coming upon a mysterious lake. There, he witnesses a majestic swan transform into the beautiful Princess Odette. She reveals that the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart cursed her to live as a swan by day, and only a vow of true, faithful love can break the wicked spell. Enchanted, Siegfried promises to swear his eternal fidelity to her at an upcoming royal ball.
However, Von Rothbart ruins the plan by bringing his deceptive daughter, Odile, disguised as Odette in a striking black gown. Tricked by the illusion, Siegfried mistakenly declares his undying love to the imposter. A vision of the real Odette appears too late; the vow is broken, condemning her forever.
Desperate, Siegfried rushes back to the lake to beg for Odette's forgiveness. She forgives him, but the sorcerer demands Siegfried fulfill his vow to Odile. Refusing to live apart, the lovers choose to die together, leaping into the lake. Their ultimate sacrifice destroys Von Rothbart's dark powers, uniting their spirits in the afterlife for eternity.
The storyof Swan Lake originates from a blend of Russian and Germanic folk tales about swan maidens and was crafted into a ballet libretto for Tchaikovsky's 1877 production in Moscow.

Charlemagne originaly was not buried in a coffin, but like a warlord from comics.
When Otto III opened his tomb 186 years after the burial, he found Charlemagne's remains sitting on the throne.
With crown on the head, scepter in his hand, and opened gospel on his lap.
This symbolic burial was meant to show Charlemagne's eternal imperial authority.
