TUT SPIKE TV CAST PLUS
I did like that Tut wasn’t just a lady-killer but has real relationships with the women in his life.īasically, the miniseries is pretty much exactly what you’d think it would be: pretty clothes, pretty people, manly battles, plus some spunky women. On the positive side, they are strong and feisty, but on the negative side they are pretty much focused on their relationships to Tut (no Bechtel Test passage here) - and one of them is super scheme-y. On the other hand, there are only two important female characters. There’s lots of boys training for war, power-playing against each other, shagging the lay-deeze, and being manly in battle. Sure! Again, it was made for the Spike channel, which is kind of the equivalent of Maxim magazine. But it seems weird to me that they went with a totally retro view of Tut when there’s been so much press around all the DNA and related research over the past five or so years. Now, granted, there’s lots of speculation when it comes to ancient Egyptian history and Tut specifically, and I get that you have to A) throw a dart when it comes to history, and if you’re making a movie, B) pick the more entertaining options. Instead, in the film he’s tough and healthy until events conspire against him. He had malaria multiple times and so was sickly.Instead, in Tut he becomes increasingly less religious and more intent on making people worship him as pharaoh. He restored Egypt’s traditional, polytheistic religion after his father revolutionized the country by forcing it into monotheism.Instead, in this film he’s super manly and battle-riffic. Tut was disabled and walked with a cane, and so likely didn’t participate in battles.But there’s been a ton of research that’s come out over the past few years that tells us important, basic facts like: Obviously, given that this film was made for the Spike channel, it needed to be manly with lots of men doing men things and hot C.H.I.X. Granted, ideas about Tut have changed a lot since 1922, but as someone whose knowledge in this category comes from Wikipedia, the Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, and a great podcast ( Eric’s Guide to Ancient Egypt), even I can tell you: Nope. And as such, there’s a lot of information out there about him. King Tutankhamen is probably the most recognized figure from Ancient Egypt due to the discovery of his mostly intact tomb in 1922. No, and this is the biggest problem with the feature. Instead, I’m going to talk about: Is Tut‘s Plot Historically Accurate? So, I’m going to review it, A) because I watched it, and B) because I’m fascinated by ancient Egypt, but I here formally declare to know absolutely NOTHING about whether what they were wearing was completely perfect or 1000% made up. I tried asking around on social networks to see if I could call in any guest-ringers, but nobody bit. That makes it hard to review Tut, the 2015 miniseries on the Spike (ooo, manly!) channel. So, here’s the problem: none of us know diddly about ancient Egyptian costume.
