I love the design in this production and there are just so much detail in every single piece and I would wish to learn more about every single one of them. The historical reference and the number of inspirations that is being used in this production is massive and extremely impressive. In this article, I learned the amount of work and how it has been made from basic canvas is scary but fascinating at the same time. For this production, they basically created a little world for this production and made the shoot inside of it. In addition, the use of lighting and shooting angle also added up to the effect that the set and costume was trying to achieve. The plot and the idea of where this production came from is also inspiring and interesting, I would learn more about the era as it has been such an inspiring movie and a piece of work.
