I think this drama is a very realistic drama, he is still very different from the godfather, but the ending of the godfather is much tragic.
This is a successful story of a wealthy generation. He started from scratch in a mill to lead Florence. I believe he has seen all the ugliness of human nature, so he does not believe in human nature, but only in power and money.
He ruined the happiness of his two sons, because their marriage had to take on the mission of a brilliant family, and even he ruined Cosimo's hobby, for the simple reason that I made you live in a splendid house from scratch, not for you to learn to paint painted. You cannot argue because you have no choice, you were born that way. You should be grateful for everything your parents give, and you can't resist, because this is a story from zero to one, without them there would be no you. This logic is so simple and so strong that you cannot refute it, nor are you qualified to refute it.
However, after a person is separated from the mother body, he is an independent individual, and he has the right to live the life he wants according to his own wishes. Although you gave me a chance to live, I did not force you to give birth to me. You gave birth to me voluntarily, so I should have the right to live the life I want according to my wishes.
This is the core reason for the evolution of the members of the Medici family, that is, the first generation strongly added its will to the second generation, and the second generation lived through his painful life.
I think if a person really loves another person, he should use the way he likes, and this kind of love is meaningful. He had done so much to finally make his sons happy, but he had to destroy that happiness in another way.
But the most ironic thing is the death of a generation of Medici. He was brilliant because of his ruthlessness. He worshipped power and money, but he died of different beliefs and the sympathy of others. This shows that money cannot buy everyone, and this is the truth of the world. For example, when Lorenzo and Cosimo were asked to buy believers the right to vote to collect taxes for the Pope, the most crucial votes were not obtained through money bribes. For example, Cosimo would have been poisoned in prison, but the person who poisoned it was a person who believed in God, which also led to his death in the end.
I think the most regrettable person in this drama is the heroine, Kongtaixia. She is the only person who has no original sin. Her marriage is a deal, so she is not loved for half her life, but she loves her husband. He was saved from the brink of death, but the way of reward was that his husband found a mistress outside, although maybe the reason for that mistress in the first place was what happened to the woman his husband gave up, so he pity, he may be for the past Atonement, but this is not the reason why he hurt his wife, there are many ways to sympathize with a person, he chose the most cruel way to another person. This is also the reason why I hate so many men who engage in extramarital affairs. True love is never based on hurting others. The heroine is strong, smart, and protects his family. No selfishness. She gave up her own happiness, just as the man who admired her said, she has never been selfish. Even in the end, she sympathized with the mistress' willingness to accept her and her child, which is extremely difficult for any woman to do.
I think all family dramas and historical dramas have practical significance, and the same is true for this drama. So is the last emperor.
People should have the right to do what they like and complete their life when they live. Being successful or being rich is secondary, the important thing is that you really enjoy everything you do, that you don't have a lot of regrets, that you're happy.
Power and money are always just tools, nothing more. They are to make people live happier, but once some bottom line is touched, it is overdone, and that is something that should not be done.
