The ancient version of "Gladiator"

Rome is to the West what the Han and Tang Dynasties were to China. It is also the eternal spiritual home of the Westerners, so the discussion of it will never stop. In the film, I feel that I am always in a scene of cold wind and bleak snow, as if Rome has never had spring and summer. In fact, I think it is a metaphor, a metaphor that the Roman Empire has come to a cold winter and a strange road, and the mighty army can't. Cover up the hidden dangers of the flowers under the fire and cooking oil.

I found out that Hollywood makes the same mistakes as China in making historical blockbusters. It is easy to talk about it too high, and the audience is drowsy. The film should be regarded as a hugely expensive scene at that time. The crew was very attentive to restore the costumes of the Roman era, letting us know that the Nazi salute was also passed down from the Roman Empire, so after 1453, Rome is everywhere.

Seeing that the old emperor couldn't remember people's names, I also remembered the problem that Miranda, the devil, couldn't remember people's names. The superiors were all the same, but the old emperor was also a thinking philosopher. He wrote it himself. The "Meditations", but the reality also tells us that philosophers are generally not good emperors, and he did make a big mistake in choosing an heir. The male protagonist, the general, is completely typical of traditional western white heroes, with blond hair and blue eyes and a fit body; the heroine is the famous actress Sophia Loren, just with that face, you can feel wild and angry, it should be said to be Angelina Zhu Li's predecessor; the young emperor has a cunning look on his face.

In fact, the United States is following the old road of the Roman Empire, acquiring wealth and expanding its influence through continuous expansion, but when the expansion reaches its limit, a crisis also arises. In fact, at that time, many people had already seen the crisis, including the old emperor and many generals, such as the philosopher general, although a large group of them debated in the Senate, I really didn't understand it. However, it shows that the tearing of the whole society at that time was already huge, just like the tearing of Western society today. We have also seen the immigration crisis that belonged to the end of the Roman Empire. In fact, it is like the refugee crisis in European and American society today, which is constantly tearing apart the entire society. When the philosopher general who followed the line of peace and neutrality was killed by the Romans, everything changed. There is no room for turning around. The heavy burden brought by the perennial war, the integration of various ethnic groups has become a huge problem, the various ethnic groups demanded equal treatment, the various criticisms and disputes brought about by this, and the spread of Christianity has continuously brought various impacts on social thought, even if it is ranked among the five wise emperors. One of the old emperors who was exhausted and exhausted could not solve these contradictions, just like today's presidents and prime ministers can't solve domestic and international problems like a revolving lantern. So in the end, the once invincible Roman legions fought each other for a little gold, and looked like bandits. In the once civilized and elegant capital of Rome, everyone was crazy. In the final duel between the general and the emperor, I think the emperor has already Insane, he turned his soldiers and subjects into beasts mad for profit, and he himself was dragged into the whirlpool of madness. The building is about to collapse, and the hero and heroine are unable to return to the sky, so they can only go far away, just like Wang Chongyang hid in the tomb of the living dead.

In short, the feeling of watching the film is: I don't understand it, but I am shocked. It feels as if everything was predicted decades in advance, or it's not a prediction, it's just history repeating itself, only the second time it becomes a farce.
