What is also interesting is how Rome is held up as a symbol of civilization and posited in a positive light, I wonder if thematically Bowen practicing there can be taken to his cultural roots (enhanced by his architectural and engineering interests). The book in some ways is even better than the movie as it delves deeper than the movie did into some aspects of the lore, story and characters.

This was a really well done review great job!
