WHERE'S MY PEOPLE 🔥

I have to say I'm super happy with how it turned out! The colors, the clothes, the tiny subtle details that nobody will ever notice 😂 I also tried to make a little bit of Art Nouveau with this frame and it was really fun to do!

Quick Historical fact: From what I understand, ancient authors referred to the "turned thumb" during the games, but without ever specifying in which direction (since, back then, it was obvious to everyone). Because of that, it's a bit tricky to figure out exactly which gesture meant what. 

Some say the thumbs down ordered a specific kind of execution, while others think it was a sign to lower weapons, with the thumb representing the sword (but there's also this thing about tucking the thumb inside the hand to say "Alright, let's stop that shit", so basically, it's a total mess). Anyway, voilà ✨

✨ Some close ups (and spoilers...?) ✨

I really wanted Geta to have his thumb turned down, since he's the one deciding who dies and who lives. I also wanted to establish a kind of connection with the blood pouring out of his glass to Caracalla's dagger. A subtle reminder of the moment Geta throws his glass content to his brother's face.

The blood on Geta's neck and the dropping blood from Caracalla's hidden ear is a reference to their fates in the movie.

my favorite thing about louis is he's a business major in a world of theater kids. everyone's playing psychological games with each other through theater and rock music and the fractured art of storytelling and he's like "but what are the margins on my vampire hotel"
