The movie "Cleopatra" because of the relationship between the heroine, forcibly washed the white queen, arranged Anthony into a vassal of the queen, and weakened him. In fact, the status and power of the three giants of Rome and the governor of the East are much higher than that of the queen. Egypt is only a dependent country of Rome, just like the Qing Dynasty and North Korea, except that Egypt is rich and controls the trade routes between the Mediterranean and the East. It is Rome’s granary and vault. .
The Roman Republic in the first three heads and the last three heads was unprecedentedly powerful, and the eastern countries were nothing more than Roman pockets. It was completely impossible for the queen to restore the empire during the Alexander period. However, she mistakenly believed that women only needed to conquer men. Can conquer the world. In fact, the sense of honor and patriotism of the Romans was overwhelming. Even if Anthony gave the whole Rome to her and her son, she would not be able to rule, too much ambition and too little ability.
Moreover, the film has tampered with two major black spots in the Queen’s history. One is that the Queen deserted Anthony and fled without authorization during the fierce battle. The Queen thought that Anthony was killed in the battle and could only go back to protect her son; the other was that the Queen sent someone to lie. He was dead and deceived Anthony into committing suicide, and it became that the man deliberately deceived Anthony because he had a crush on the queen.
Regarding the queen of Egypt in history, she is actually a severely overrated figure. She is actually hard to wear under her reputation. It is not as magical as it is in TV dramas. Yes, as a woman, she is extremely charming, beautiful and intelligent, elegant and funny, talented, and fluent in many languages. However, take a look at the halo, she is only famous for hooking up with the two great men Caesar and Anthony. Caesar just treated her as a mistress, leaving nothing to her and his illegitimate son, it was ruthless. Only Anthony has truly achieved her legendary name. Anthony fell because of her, eventually lost his country because of her, and even lost his life because of her. This kind of disaster charm will be talked about in ancient and modern times, and rendered as legendary. If Anthony died in the battle of Parthia (now Iran) at the age of forty-seven, she would not have such a great reputation. People would only say that she was the mistress of the two Roman commanders. . What the queen is proficient in is only the concubine's art of inviting pets and flattering to the monarch (she and Octavia are extremely powerful in fighting Anthony). How to please men and blow the pillow wind is quite powerful. However, she did not understand the rules and bottom line of the Romans. Her political talents and strategic vision can't support her huge ambitions. She didn't understand Roman politics at all, so she tempted Anthony to give her and her son almost half of Rome, marry her, a foreign woman, perform triumphant ceremonies in Egypt, and will be buried in Egypt and other traitors. She is also a military idiot, but she is unwilling to be lonely and has a strong desire for control. She has repeatedly intervened in Anthony's strategic and tactical arrangements, and drove away those veterans who came from Rome to support Anthony. Finally, during the Battle of Akshin, he fled without authorization because of fear of the cruel battlefield and destroyed Anthony's formation, which caused some naval forces to advance and retreat, and had to surrender the enemy before the battle. Anthony left the soldiers in the fierce battle to chase her, and eventually collapsed. The most incredible thing is that when Octavian was about to enter Alessandro at the end, she still deliberately negotiated with Octavian, using Anthony’s death and Ptolemaic wealth in exchange for her son’s throne, thus deceiving Anthony. suicide. As a result, she was smashed by Octavian, and she didn't fall behind in the end. It was so clever that the organs were so clever that they missed Qing Qing's life. In addition, I don’t think Anthony fell in love with her at first sight, especially after she gave birth to a baby, she never visited her, but lived steadily with Octavia in his favorite Athens for three or four years. And gave birth to two daughters. The reason why the queen's compliment and gentleness to him attracted him was mostly because of the queen's identity and wealth. A queen can be like This put down his body and waited on him like an ordinary woman, which was able to satisfy his vanity. Octavia can bring him prestige, and the queen can bring him money, making it possible for him to realize his dream of conquering Parthia and accomplishing Caesar's unfinished business. So Anthony walked between the two women when he was proud of his life, and did not favor either one. The queen is not a powerful challenge to him that can arouse his desire to conquer. It's just that the queen is very good at playing and can cheer him up, and can give Anthony, who has been struggling with politics in Rome and the Senate and Octavian for too long, a peaceful and comfortable haven. When Octavia could also give him these things, he also left the queen aside. The real variable lies in the failure to conquer Parthia. During the 27 days of retreat, he tasted all kinds of pain and suffering. He was even on the verge of despair. He almost lost his life there. Together with the betrayal of his allies, he was even more angry. And cold. At this time, the Queen's arrived to soothe his body and mind. And Octavia’s fall from grace was also at this time because of Octavian’s treachery to him (he honestly gave Octavian 200 ships to defeat the little Pompey of Sicily, and the cunning Octavian The 20,000 infantry who promised him to enlist in Parthia did not materialize at all), let him hate the house and Wu, coupled with the queen’s gentle homeland and pillow breeze, made him finally blinded, divorced Octavia, and left. On the road of no return. It should be said that it was no longer normal and pure love for him to completely fall in love afterwards. It was a reliance on the queen after being depressed and broken. He could get the ultimate pleasure from the queen, allowing him to escape politics and military affairs with the help of drunken life and death. It’s just a frustration.

After the hero is short of breath, he will inevitably be tired by the love of his children. Axing’s escape from the battlefield made him lose all his energy. After sitting in the queen’s stern for three days without eating or drinking, he said something to the queen. He has reason to hate the queen who has entrapped him so deeply, but he is from beginning to end. There was no reproach to the queen, it was a complete disheartening, and I didn't even bother to be angry.
However, at this time he still loved her, so he never argued with her from beginning to end, let alone beat her and scolded her like in this movie.
The following year Octavian wrote to the Queen, saying that as long as Anthony was killed, her son would be able to keep the throne. She sent someone to tell Anthony, who was defeated and returned to the city, that she was dead and tricked him into committing suicide.
She probably didn't know that not long ago, Anthony wrote to Octavian to exchange his death for the queen's throne, but Octavian refused. Obviously Octavian had deliberately washed the queen, just to prove to the world that this Egyptian woman didn't really love this Roman man at all. Caesar has never admitted that Caesar Leon is his son in history, and there is no mention of her in his will. And Anthony gave her everything in his will.
When she was dying, she worried about her in her arms and made follow-up arrangements, hoping to make her live better with Octavian. He said he was a Roman, and he was finally conquered by the Romans. This shows that he still honored himself as a Roman in his heart, but he still gave up his glory for the queen.
I think the image of the queen in the American TV series "ROMA" is actually more in line with history. It refers not to appearance but to mind and behavior. It is not a female politician, but an ambitious but unprepared woman. The 63rd edition of "Cleopatra" is mainly based on Shakespeare's play. It is so beautifying to the queen that the audience's impression of her is frozen, but it is difficult to accept her imperfect side. Let’s talk about Octavia. Octavia, like Octavian, always has the image of a white lotus, with a moral aura covering her body. However, there is no way to determine whether it is the true Virgin, the black belly, or the propaganda needs of Octavian. It's just that the more she acted as a good wife and mother, the more it made Antony abandon his wife and son, which was ruthless and unrighteous, which slapped Antony's popularity in Rome. The four women Anthony married in his life were not worried. Antonia and his friend gave him a cuckold, Fulvia was ambitious and colluded with his brother to rebel, and the white lotus of the Virgin of Octavia made him muddy, and Cleopatra made him lost again. Life. His wife should have been a haven for him to heal and rest after he was exhausted physically and mentally, but these unconscious women always drag him back, damage his reputation, and ultimately destroy him. Those who play with feelings will always be overwhelmed by feelings in the end, and they are also unhappy with retribution.
