An epic American drama with pure British English dialogue, although these characteristics are not American dramas themselves. The main characters (with the exception of the lame actress) have accurately grasped the characters' personalities, and there is no doubt that these actors have deep drama skills. The dialogue that spews out of some classic clips is so passionate, the amount of rhetorical lines is amazing. If you cut down all the English subtitles, you will find that this is almost a huge vocabulary treasure, old-fashioned aristocratic English.
Character comments (I skipped the two soldiers)
Caesar: I have always tried to distinguish dictator from tyrant, although in the Chinese context, there is almost no difference between the two. The monarch who once said veni, vidi, vici ("I came, I saw, I conquered") was stabbed to death in the Senate Chamber of Parliament, and the last knife was Brutus, who he regarded as his own son (the fact that The upper pole may be his own). History is absurd repetition.
Mark Anthony: A complete liberal, uninhibited, he likes to have sex, even when he is on the march to fight, he will not forget to have a shot with the shepherdess under the tree, but he fights bravely, is loyal to people, and is loyal. He is a man. Do what the men want to do, and do it heartily and happily. Just as he said to Queen Yan in the last scene, We lived in just two words, which sums it up a bit.
Atia: A woman with a vicious heart, her hormone levels have always been high, so she also likes to have sex. With the development of the plot from the perpetrator to the victim. (Tidbit: The first part of the bath, the body is very Roman, very plump)
Octavian: The scene is actually peeking at the mother in the bath, I think this treatment is very effective. Pervert + power control, such people win and rule the world. After ruling 2K for many years, and it is still the same today, are humans destined to be masochists?
Cleopatra: I can't understand why HBO chose such an actor. At least one A-cup woman didn't have any political capital to call it back in that era. Being able to give birth to a fat son is the minimum standard, just like in the classic old movie, the old lady Taylor pressed Caesar's hand from her chest down her abdomen and wiped it to her buttocks, verifying her "good assets". Without such a figure, you can't get into the game. From the perspective of the development of the story, the last part is really bad. The emotional development between Queen Yan and Anthony seems abrupt, and the decisive battle of Actium is only explained for 1 minute. How can people who are not familiar with the historical background know the truth? In the palace surrounded, Anthony hysteria and suicide last table
play is in place, but after poor performances brilliant climax of the story will not be some kind of life to death, soul-stirring show it, the feeling is a cheap whore, it is Disappointed.
Brutus: The acting is outstanding, and this revolutionary young man with political aspirations is brought to life. Top-notch drama.
Pompey: Coincidentally, another beanie also rated the passage of the seaside to the slave as a classic, (actually I feel it was talking to himself) This monarch should be a fatalist, when the future is bleak, his face There has been helplessness and numbness hanging on it. good acting.
Cicero: A typical aristocratic politician, good at judging the situation, strong support for the political system of the ancient Roman Senate, a little cowardly in character (especially afraid of Anthony), but when he died, he was very brave because of his persistence in political beliefs. Top-notch drama.
