Cleopatra, a historical figure I've always wanted to know about, partly because she's a woman. Born at the point where Rome turned from a republic to an monarchy, the terminator of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt had not only political but emotional entanglements with the Roman giants, what a magnificent and legendary life. However, after reading it, I feel that Cleopatra may have relied too much on her own beauty and female charm. The part of her seducing Caesar is actually the most exciting, young and beautiful, in the crisis of fighting for power with her brother and being exiled She had the guts to return to the palace, and approached him in a way that a ruler like Caesar, who had an extremely flamboyant personality and was at the top of the Roman Empire, could not refuse. Women's female clothes are all the weak spots of Caesar, so the purpose is achieved, the queen is crowned, and the Ptolemaic dynasty continues. No matter how high Caesar's brilliance is, Cleopatra's bet on him is as big, the bet on the fortune of the family and the country, and even the heirs and grandchildren, bet on the ambitious ambitions that should not belong to women. But she didn't see that greatness often brings conceit. In the movie, Cleopatra even exacerbated this conceit, instigating Caesar to centralize power and even gradually become emperor. Caesar, I think in fact should still be against the monarchy. He only needs to be a dictator. He just looks down on the Senate. Many people can't compare with him, but they want to clamor everywhere. In the movie, he is so obvious that he wants power, which is not like it. It is more like his domineering personality offended the Senate, and some people in the Senate planned his assassination with the conflict between the republic and the monarchy. The monarchy is actually the inevitable development of Roman society to that level. It is only if people like Octavian have enough skills to unplug the spiritual pillar of ancient Rome.
When Caesar fell, Cleopatra committed herself to Antony again. Similarly, she handed her fate to a seemingly powerful ruler, but she forgot that she could also make a country rich and have the strength to compete with the giants. In terms of her ability to rule, Queen Yan is no smarter than her younger brother. In the performance of the movie, there seems to be a real emotion between Cleopatra and Anthony, but this emotion did not exert the due synergy on the two people at the top of the power, but instead made the queen become dependent. , so that Anthony retreated comfortably, and finally the two were like trapped beasts in Octavian's trap, burned by arrogant ambition, and swallowed by depression and unwisdom. The conclusion is a female ruler who relies too much on men to support her rule. Her ending is conceivable, and her children are naturally unstoppable.
Conclusion: Empress Wu of the Celestial Dynasty is still the role model of women in all ages
