The historical record of the big man, the sadness of the little man

What I want to talk about is the HBO series-ROME.

I finally finished the first season and started watching the second season. To be honest, in American TV series, except for my super favorite SEX AND THE CITY, I really rarely spend so much time watching such a series that requires patience to figure out without blinking. And it's still a historical subject that I'm not good at. But very surprised, I still watched the drama very well.

Taking the rise and fall of the Roman Empire as a clue, the sorrows and joys of that era are reflected from the two small historical figures of POLLU and VORENUS. To say that this is a completely American perspective, full of fashion elements, fully satisfying people's erotic psychology, and filmed with such a charming drama, it should not be counted. He is said to be from an American perspective because many historical events are interpreted using American lenses, with so much novelty and so much joking. Speaking of being full of fashion elements, you only need to look at the exquisite, gorgeous and fashionable clothing and styles, it is not difficult to understand. As for satisfying people's erotic psychology, if you are a person who expects to see a bit of stimulating episodes such as sex, homosexuality, incest, 3P, and malaria in a relatively serious drama, then this film will not disappoint you.

POLLU has always been a character I like. I like this person because he is completely immune to politics, simple and brave. After watching the first season, I saw him making a wreath for a former female slave and begging her to marry me. I think, if you want to marry, you should marry a man like POLLU. POLLU is a very drunkard. When he has money, he goes to the brothel in Rome to live happily. Falling in love with the female slave, he can eagerly hope that the slender figure is like a child. This character is the most innocent and least sad character among the many sad characters in the series. It is also sad, but it can be free from sadness. He has the blood of a warrior on his body. From elementary school, he can use fists and swords to solve problems. He stumbles and becomes a soldier. He was born to death. He was once glorious and humble. A happy life can be brave to die, but it touches the dignity of the soldier at the bottom of one's noble soul, and bravely defends this dignity. It can be said that among the many sad characters of ROME, POLLU is the simple and clear one in the screen.

I don't particularly like VORENUS. I always feel that this man has too many weaknesses, living a life of entanglement in his poorly understood political beliefs and the lies of his beautiful wife. Supporting the republic has become Caesar's tool; loving his wife deeply makes the family ruined. This person always feels very weak to me. Claiming to dislike politics, but getting started quickly with politics. I'm not a bad guy, but I don't know where I stand. When I see him doing stupid things, I slapped my thigh angrily. A person who is fully proficient in politics and fully adapted to politics can be a fish in water on such occasions. A person who does not understand politics at all and is completely insulated from politics can also live well-such as POLLU. But only VORENUS, who is half-life unfamiliar with politics, can live the worst, unwilling and reluctant.

The person I still like very much is Octavian when he was young, a smart and natural political genius. It's a pity that the performance of the young actors always feels so inadequate. But the incest period with my sister was shocking.

Anthony is also very good. I can't wait to see it in slow motion with full frontal nakedness. Hansome. Man thinking about lower body. Come to think of it, the man Cleopatra fell in love with is naturally not simple.

Now I’m going to talk about some of the women in the show. Almost every woman is thoughtful, using her body or social skills to spread rain on the political arena. I don't like any of them.

Here are some small details about the play. First of all, there is too much plasma used. I don't know if Rome is really in its original state. Everyone is fierce and fierce. Killing is a killer move, either by beheading or dismembering. The arms and legs fly around. I am a little dizzy.

Secondly, there are a lot of fun little details. The brightly colored erotic graffiti on the walls, the erotic dramas reflecting political stories on stage plays, and the advertisements read by the announcer after the announcement are all very fun. For example, the prosecutor would add one last sentence after reading the announcement: The real Romans only eat roma bread-thought to come from a slogan of a certain bakery. After POLLU escaped in the arena, the owner of the washing and dyeing shop actually sent someone to secretly paint a portrait of him, and he wanted him to be a spokesperson.

Finally, about the strong sexual relations of that era. There are many sexual descriptions in the series. I saw the sturdy Asiya and the man on the bed, and the servant next to me pouring tea and water, my eyes were straight. There is also the style of Cleopatra, encountering POLLU, it is simply dry wood meets a raging fire. Not to mention the sex machine Anthony, when he met a shepherdess on the side of the road, she actually stopped the whole teacher and waited for him to do good things behind a tree; a pair of lesbians petted and kissed on the bed; a pair of sisters Brother incest. In general, there are a lot of good shows.

Just started watching the second season. Asiya is obviously a lot fatter than in the first season. POLLU and VORENUS should have mixed with Octavian.

ER... This is the case with the episode. Therefore, what is inscribed in history is always only the historical records of great figures, such as Pompeii and Caesar. And it will never be the sadness of small people, such as my beloved POLLU, VORENUS, and his wife and daughter.
