Explanation: I watched movies, not history. I wrote film reviews, not history reviews.
The writing of Cleopatra and French queen together is also due to the two movies "Cleopatra" and "Peerless Queen". The former is Cleopatra, the latter is Marie Anthony, the famous queen of Louis XVI during the French Revolution. Both of these women have left many traces in the past due to political reasons, because the prominent political reasons are the main reason, and their beauty is added, so they have more research value.
"Cleopatra": Cleopatra was passed on to the throne by her father, the old king of Egypt, when she was a teenager. At the same time, she was succeeded by her half-brother, who was also her husband. It’s absurd to let her brothers and sisters get married!) That is, her eldest brother Ptolemy XIII. When Caesar's powerful Roman army attacked Egypt, the clever Cleopatra wrapped himself naked in a woolen blanket and dedicated it to the eminent Emperor Caesar. The wild emperor Caesar really liked this way, Caesar was fascinated by this beautiful fairy, and indulged in her emotions. With the support of the powerful Roman Empire, Cleopatra took control of Egypt. She killed her brother and husband, and the Egyptian people led a relatively stable life. Cleopatra had a son with Emperor Caesar. Later, after the death of Caesar the Great, the Roman Empire sent the handsome General Anthony to clean up the demon queen who bewitched Caesar the Great. Hearing the news, Cleopatra arranged an ultra-luxury yacht on the Nile and dressed himself as the extremely charming Venus goddess. Anthony was drunk, inevitably sinking into Cleopatra's love. The Egyptian dynasty found itself a protector, and the ruler of the Roman Empire sent another general, Octavian, to clean up Antony who was addicted to the demon queen. This time, Cleopatra’s coquettish female color no longer works. After her lover Anthony died in the battle, she had to use a poisonous snake to end her flowery life, and also ended the 22 years of peace brought by her. Peace in Egypt.
"Peerless Celebrity Queen": This is the story of another special woman in the intersecting period of two capitals. When Marie Anthony was 14 years old, her mother, the Queen of Austria, was married to the grandson of French King Louis XV, later Louis XVI, because of political marriage. In fact, Princess Mary’s birth is quite prominent, her mother is the Queen of Austria, and her father is the Holy Roman Emperor. When she was still ignorant and ignorant, she had to act as a pawn in her parents' political attempts. Louis XVI was a cowardly character and some sexual defects, so Mary fell into the French court life without love or passion, and was very tedious and boring without any fun. Perhaps the only fun is to hold a luxurious feast in the palace and the ladies to dress up and gamble. Louis XVI, because of his own shortcomings, perhaps to make up for it, indulged Queen Mary's extravagant behavior. With the French economy already in extreme deterioration, the queen's actions undoubtedly deepened the hatred of the civilians towards the royal family. They called her the "deficit queen." Finally, the French Revolution broke out, and Louis XVI and his Queen Mary were guillotined by the people.
Perhaps when many people watch a movie, they will pay special attention to the beauty of the two demon queens and their extravagant and lustful lives. In fact, apart from these, even if these two women have to die in the end, their life values are different. Not only for themselves, but also for their people.
In terms of politics, Cleopatra took the initiative to attack, for her own position and for the safety of her country, she took out all the beauty and wisdom of women, ruled men, and ruled the country. She is undoubtedly very successful. Her success has won peace and security for her people, and will undoubtedly be admired by future generations.
The Queen of France is different. When she was a simple little girl, she was forced to stand as a political pawn, hoping to consolidate her position through pregnancy and childbirth, and at the same time deepen the friendship between the two peoples. It is a pity that Louis XVI, who is as naive and boring, finally gave her a child until a few years later, but before Louis XVI succeeded to the throne, the French royal regime was already in trouble. He personally has no ability to reverse the overall situation, and he cannot grasp it. His own destiny, and the fate of his queen. Marie also stood up to the notoriety of the extravagant "deficit queen", and the French people sent them to the guillotine, although later historians believed that Louis XVI and his queen were not bad in nature and were not a tyrant, France It was his ancestors and not them that caused the irretrievable status quo, but under the revolutionary trend, he had to kill it. What is left of them for historical significance? There is probably not much left except for the cornerstone of capitalism.
In addition to politically embarrassing these two women, from a woman's point of view, perhaps even more embarrassing is their love. The glamorous Cleopatra gained emotional support from two powerful men. Even with Anthony, she also got the beautiful love between the two. And this emotion lasted for many years, until the last one. Died successively for the country. Standing in this position, Cleopatra is a happy woman.
And Queen Mary of France, before she knew what love was, she entered the tedious and boring court with a strict hierarchical system. Her husband did not understand love and did not want to respond to love. She was in great loss, but she had to barely maintain the queen's momentum. Later, she finally fell in love with the handsome Swedish lieutenant at a ball at first sight, and she knew the shadow of love in her heart. After a few more years, I finally got a chance to be together, but it was only a short period of affair. Fortunately, this wonderful day of affair, this is probably the brightest bright spot in the gloomy life of Queen Mary. In fact, when the French Revolution broke out, she could escape, but she still chose to face everything with her husband. This woman, although unfortunate, is absolutely brave and very sympathetic.
Perhaps these two pornographic queens have different fate points, that is, the children they gave birth. The son of Cleopatra Caesar the Great, and the son later born to General Anthony, were secretly sent away when Octavian attacked Egypt. Their whereabouts are unknown. Maybe they are still alive as ordinary people as civilians. The Queen of France and her son of Louis XVI starved to death in prison shortly after their parents were beheaded. It is said that he was only 7 years old when he went to prison and 11 years old when he died. Although these fragments are not included in the movie, these historical records make people very sad. I remember that there was also an emperor who strangled his daughter in the Ming Dynasty in China, and he also expected her not to be born in the family of the emperor and general in the next life. As politically innocent children, their birth and their life's destiny are firmly connected.
Cleopatra, some people in later generations will study whether she is really so beautiful and can fascinate those prominent men so much. I believe that a woman, by virtue of her beauty, cannot firmly attract a man for such a long time, so she must have extraordinary wisdom and courage. And Queen Maria, later generations mainly analyze her later performance from her personal growth experience, and perhaps forgive this woman who made the country’s debts high. Perhaps, it was not her fault alone, but at a period of economic shrinking. She has enjoyed her life in the wrong way, and her enjoyment is also out of an immature compensation for her simple life. The French people have forgiven her a long time ago, because it is said that she accidentally stepped on the executioner before the execution, and said to him: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Women and women, behind their life experience, behind extravagance, behind glory, and behind humiliation, are so different. Perhaps, if we understand, we will understand.
