After the viewing: The stage effect can be called the first-class "Cleopatra", but its most attractive story is mediocre. The beautiful and topical queen in history seems to easily capture the Roman military strongman with only the beauty of Elizabeth Taylor. Caesar and Antony, willing to prostrate themselves under her pomegranate skirt, could not see her resourcefulness and mastery at all. Perhaps in order to highlight the heroines, Caesar and Anthony, who used to be invincible in the battlefield, lost their kingly style in front of the queen, and their performance on the battlefield was also shocking, making the film lack of epic expressiveness and shocking power , which is undoubtedly the biggest flaw of the film.
