The first season of "Roma" was about Caesar's time, while the second season was about Antony. Caesar is a hero, Anthony can only be regarded as a hero, he can only engage in military affairs but not politics, Anthony is greedy, lustful, and cruel, but he has a straightforward personality and can’t play tricks, so he just fell to a little guy Octavian. 's subordinates. He paid attention to Octavian a little, but not enough. He raised tigers and let them go back to the mountains, and finally even explained to himself that he died in a foreign country like Pompeii.
The second season lacks heroic characters like Caesar, so it seems a bit scattered, but the structure is more grand, with multiple clues running in parallel and interconnected, very epic, but some of the new characters added are slightly redundant , such as Gaia. The change of Lucis is somewhat surprising. The audience has been waiting for a long time. He and Polo have supported this important clue very hard, and some things seem to have nothing to do with them.
The young Octavian's actors are also eye-catching. The little guy has grown up, but what remains the same is his piercing eyes, foresight and political talent. This season is Anthony's last stage, and Octavian also grew up. On the stage, Octavian relied on his innate sensitivity to politics, decisively and cruelly killed his nemesis Antony, he knew better than anyone that the Roman republic was in name only, but he covered it up better than anyone else. All is well, on the one hand grasping the military power to engage in autocracy, on the other hand, propaganda and safeguarding the republic with great fanfare. Pompeii, Caesar, and Octavian were all politicians, but Antony was not. He was at most a robber, a guy who was greedy and willful, but his death was still handled very poetically. A generation of heroes finally cut themselves off in Egypt. Pompeii is better off.
There are a few clips in the second season that I remember very clearly. First, Octavian fell in love with a girl at a banquet, walked over and asked: Will you marry me? The girl's answer was even more astonishing: as long as my husband agreed.
The second is Anthony indulging in a carnival before he died. It was late at night after a banquet. He and Lurses were sitting on the steps drinking and chatting, surrounded by sleeping nudes, with arms and legs stretched everywhere, this The scene is also quite interesting, as I have always liked to sit around the fire with my family or close friends, no lights, only a red fire, no spirits, only hot tea or coffee, everyone sits together quietly and happily chat, that's what I'm most looking forward to.
