The source of the movie comes from the bilibili website and consists of two sections. Although there are cut parts, the combined length of the movie is longer than that of ordinary movies. According to reviews, this movie almost broke the film company. But think about it carefully, as a movie about a person's life, how can it be possible to condense a person's life into a few hours? Not to mention a character like Cleopatra? The film mainly tells the story of Cleopatra's ascent to the throne of Egypt and his suicide. There are two love stories running through it. There is a saying that the reason why the Queen of Egypt has attracted the attention of future generations is precisely because she made many people, especially the two consuls of Rome, fall under her pomegranate skirt, and she was called "Cleopatra". . Although the movie is telling the story of Cleopatra, it seems to show the history of Rome from the side to a large extent. At that time, the Roman state was in the transitional period from the republic to the monarchy. The republic was gradually in decline. The consuls gained a lot of military exploits due to foreign campaigns, their powers continued to expand and concentrate, and the monarchy gradually rose. Caesar pursued Pompey to Egypt, triumphantly returned to Rome, and obtained the power of "dictator for life" granted by the Senate, but Caesar was not satisfied with this. He believed that the dictator would eventually be subject to the Senate and attempted to claim the title of emperor. He was stabbed to death on the way. It can be seen from this that although the republic is in the declining period, the concept of republic is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Caesar was killed and Cleopatra left Rome bleakly, so the story of her and Caesar ended here. Because of her stunning appearance in Rome, she attracted Anthony and laid the groundwork for the later story. Anthony was one of the "Big Three" who ruled Rome at that time. He had a great battle feat. However, his contradiction with Octavian became increasingly prominent. Compared with Caesar, Octavian was much more "cunning". The Senate took it seriously and incited the Senate to launch Rome’s war against Anthony, and defended the majesty of the Senate in form. However, the Senate at that time was not on par with the Republic in its heyday, and the senators no longer had the status of representatives of interests. , And became an accomplice of Octavian, Octavian controlled the Senate, making the republic even more declining. In fact, with the expansion of the Roman territories in the late Republic of the Republic, the republic could no longer meet the needs of the rule at that time. The rule of the Senate was suitable for small countries and few people. However, Rome is obviously no longer a small place at that time. The film seems to convey such a tendency that Cleopatra relied on Egypt's wealth and formed an alliance with Rome. Indeed, as a "gift of the Nile", Egypt is a "granary" and a "pocket". Whether it was during the reign of Caesar or the reign of Octavian, Anthony's ceding of territory to Egypt was coveted by Egypt's food and money. But it was precisely this that was able to preserve Egypt. After the death of Cleopatra, the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt fell, Egypt became a part of Rome, and became the private property of the head of the empire, completely reduced to Rome." "Granary" and "money bag". Considering Egypt as one of the four ancient civilizations, the final result is really embarrassing. It should be understood that the Ptolemaic dynasty was also the dynasty established by Alexander after the Hellenistic conquest of Egypt, while Egypt after the Ptolemaic dynasty was Romanized. In fact, love is also one of the themes of the movie. It is obviously the two love stories between Cleopatra, Caesar and Anthony. In the first paragraph, Cleopatra used her beauty to seduce Caesar and make herself ascend to the throne of Egypt. She and Caesar seemed to be both for political purposes. Cleopatra was for his throne, and Caesar It was also for their position in Rome, they just used each other. In the second paragraph, the relationship with Anthony seems to be more real, especially in the last wish left by her suicide, hoping to be buried with Anthony. As a pharaoh, of course, you need to consolidate your rule. The preservation of the entire country is the most important thing, but as a woman, she always wants to have a support, and she is not an ordinary woman. She has ideals and ambitions. She wants to be with his husband. To build a strong country together, it's just that Anthony "loves" her too much, without strong ambitions and ambitions, and Anthony's tragic suicide after the defeat is also embarrassing. No matter how prominent and prominent, how much wealth, no matter what thrilling and affectionate experience you have, it is the dust of history, and in the end only a "Cleopatra" story is left.
