Failed

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.

    Finally finished reading in three days. Roman architecture, Egyptian style, extreme luxury, epic production, but pale and weak inside the gorgeous shell, the feelings are too greasy and crooked, very unhappy. The highlights are concentrated on the drag show, a set of clothes in one scene, and the spectacle of meeting Caesar and Queen of Egypt in Rome that made my jaw drop. The golden clothes she wore at the end of her suicide was extremely beautiful. Taylor's body and career line are just right, which is really pleasing to the eye.

    Taylor's portrayal of the Queen's glamorous intelligence and ambition is so vivid that it presents a vivid historical figure

Cleopatra quotes

  • Theodotos: May I speak? You know that Achilles is trapped... between your own legions and the armies of Mithradates. To send His Majesty to fight them may mean his death.

    Julius Caesar: An occupational hazard for those who will be king.

  • Julius Caesar: This is opposition of a different sort. They weave it cleverly, lightly, like a cobweb. You know what happens when cobwebs are not regularly swept away.
