Since it is a drama, there is unavoidable conflict, and since there is conflict, there is unavoidable emotional entanglement. One of the highlights of this film is the portrayal of female characters to reflect the cruelty, instability, and treacherousness in the struggle for political power, as well as the warmth and warmth hidden under the indifferent appearance.
There are at least 20 female characters in "Rome". Here are only a few main ones. These selected characters are all true people in history, and they are not fictional images created by the screenwriters for the sake of plot fullness.
One: Atia of the Julii
She is the niece of Caesar, the mother of Odavi (Augustus), and the lover of Mark Antony. Atia is undoubtedly one of the brightest characters in the whole show. She is glamorous, noble, and has a strong personality. She acts viciously and cunningly, regardless of right and wrong, all for the sake of satisfying her own selfish interests and desires. Such a character, she once instigated Mark Anthony not to send additional reinforcements to Caesar during the Civil War, intending to make Pang and Kai fight both losses; she once forcibly betrothed her married daughter to Pompey, and sent someone to assassinate her daughter at the time. Husband; In order to buy a good horse, she does not hesitate to go with the horse dealer Timon; in order to humiliate her competitors, she teaches people to beat her in the street and tear off her clothes to vent her anger. Atia is a pretty naked and selfish person. It's not ruthless, but she can't allow herself to have feelings; it's not that she doesn't love, but she will pay a heavy price if she loves. In her life, she has been inextricably linked with the three most prominent men in Rome, but it is the ambition, intrigue, betrayal and ruthlessness of these people that have made her the greatest misfortune and unwillingness. A beautiful and thrilling woman, but also helpless and sorrowful, like the azaleas blooming in full bloom in the mountains and wilds in autumn, blazing and dazzling, but can not stop the desolation and loneliness after the prosperity of the night.
Second: Servilia of the Junii Seville
Servilia in "Rome" belongs to the kind of vigorous love. She was Caesar’s first lover, the oldest and noble descendant of Rome’s family, her son Marcus Brutus was the youngest member of the Senate in Rome, one of the most famous politicians of the Republic, and also assassinated Caesar during the rebellion. Mastermind. Historically, the love between Caesar and Cleopatra has always been given strong colors, but in a practical sense, the relationship between Caesar and Servilia affects his life's ups and downs.
Servilia has a clear appearance and a dignified manner. Caesar fell in love with her at first sight. When they were together, Caesar not only referred to her as his wife, but he loved her stepson Brutus as if she were himself. But not long after, Caesar was sent by Pompey to attack Gaul, which lasted eight years. The golden years of Servilia's life were spent in a long and endless wait. She watched the flowers blooming in front of the court, and looked down on the conflicts of the upper class, flying short and long, and only stubbornly believed that he was the only one who could give herself happiness. Finally, she waited for her sweetheart to return from Gaul with a big victory, watching him proudly enter the Senate surrounded by thousands of people, watching him talk freely, and shuttle between celebrities and nobles, she was full of joy, but she did not expect the money in the eyes of the past. The tenderness has been turned into ice. Caesar abandoned her and hurriedly married another famous lady in the city. For a time, her grievances, her pride, and her anger turned into a raging flame of vengeance, burning all the gentleness, virtue, morality and shame in her heart. Servilia became a crazy Medea. Except for revenge, she couldn't tolerate a second thought in her heart. Crazy women are terrible, because most of them are so calm and impersonal. While carrying out revenge in a systematic and planned way, I still don't forget to enjoy the pleasure of every pain I have created with great interest. The cruelty and perseverance oozing out of my bones made the onlookers shudder. When Brutus learned that Servilia intends to assassinate Caesar, he straightened his eyes in surprise and said, "Are you crazy! He has settled the world now, has won the hearts of the people, and loves me like a son." Servilia looked at him, saying every word. He replied: "There is no private grievance between me and him, and some are just political differences."
A woman of love and sex, she loves hard. She couldn't forgive just because she couldn't break it.
Third: Octavia of the Julii is
alive, wealth, status, and beauty, it is a blessing to have one of them. Owning all three is the root cause of the disaster. Octavia, the sister of Octavian, is one such example. Born in the home of Zhongming and Ding Shi, Octavia, who grew up among the pearls and jade flowers, has been favored since childhood and has no worries about food and clothing. In the first half of her life, she relied on the care of her mother and uncle (Caesar), and in the second half of her life, because her younger brother was the founding emperor of Rome, her status among noble ladies was even higher.
Unlike her mother and younger brother, Octavia has no ambitions, she is a little woman who only seeks peace and tranquility. Therefore, when her mother betrothed her to Glabius, the noble son of the Claudia family, although she didn't even know what the other party looked like, she married happily. She believed that there was nothing wrong with what her mother arranged for her. She didn't know that when she was having a sweet time with her newlywed husband, her uncle and mother had already moved to marry her to Pompey. Octavia is an extremely gentle and filial child, unable to withstand her mother's hardships, and finally left her husband to marry Pompey. However, as a political enemy of Caesar, Pompey did not want to accept her intentions, and finally Refused this marriage. The proud Octavia was discredited and launched a vicious call, "I will kill him (Pompey)!" Pompeo was defeated and died, but Octavia was unable to return to his original life. For a considerable period of time, she lived a single and extravagant life. There was never a lack of suitors around her. However, there was no relationship that could hold her firmly until Odavi made arrangements for her to win over Anthony. The second marriage. At this time, Octavia still had a beautiful face, but her heart was cold and unconscious. Like last time, she chose to obey, unconditionally obedient, as if the fate of her life was set between these two words. In this battlefield without gunsmoke, she is regarded as a beautiful and seemingly important chess piece, a chess piece that can bring benefits to her loved ones. She doesn't know whether she should be happy or sad? On the day of her marriage, she wore a red wedding gown. In the eyes of the world, she walked through the road she never wanted to take. The thick rouge could not cover the paleness and exhaustion of her face, but she was still smiling slightly. In an instant, you will feel that this is an extremely strong woman. She pursued the common people's happiness in the court life of mischievous and deceived rabbits and foxes, and finally realized that it was not available, so she chose to spend her entire life in exchange and sacrifice. Perhaps, her seemingly impeccable perfection is the harshest punishment from heaven.
Fourth: Cleopatra
“If I must prostitute myself for the good of my country and my family, I will.
But the customer pays first, does he not?"
Do you think a queen can't say this kind of thing, do you? But
she still said it after all.
When she said this, she was expressionless, and some were just waves. An unsurprising tone and an attitude of neither humble nor humble. In a short period of time, a faint blur and grievance flashed in her eyes, as if this self-defeating words were spoken through her mouth, not only removed the original inferiority and submission. The tone adds a taste of nobility and sacrifice. HBO has always been good at portraying the character of characters through language, and in just a few sentences, the identity and personality of the characters are properly blended.
Cleopatra, the stunner is also What is a stunner? In Shuowen, a stunner is a monster, an unpredictable thing. Cleopatra was initially chased by her brother Ptolemy, but when there was nowhere to go, she lay in a sedan chair leisurely When the assassin sent by Ptolemy found her and announced that she would send her to the afterlife, she neither cried nor made trouble, put down the pipe, sat quietly, and died calmly. The assassin was killed by Caesar. When the samurai of the warrior was killed, she raised her hand, pointed at one of them, and said, "You, sleep with me tonight! "Cleopatra is such a woman who is not afraid of everything. She seems to have lived for so many lives. She has seen through the world's fame, love, ups and downs, and can let go at any time; she also seems to be a weird elf. , Obsessed with the partial and detailed happiness in front of us, just want to be greedy.
Such a casual, unscrupulous person, but being placed in such a serious position as the queen, can not help but say that it is a kind of irony. There are endless things to deal with every day, and the lives and livelihoods of millions of people across the country are in her hands. To put it grandiosely, it is all over the world, could it be Wang Tu. To put it practically, there are millions of people waiting for her to feed her. The queen is not a bodhisattva and cannot sit there waiting for people to worship. She needs to be decisive, quick-witted, able to assess the situation and solve problems. It is not that she does not possess these characteristics, but a single person is not enough to change many things. Guarding the Nile River, which is sometimes flooded and sometimes awkward, the country is small and scarcely talented, and the army is not strong. After paying the money and food to Rome as usual every year, there is not much left for him. If this continues, Egypt will always be a weak and small country. How could Cleopatra, a descendant of Alexander, endure such a tone? What's more, in her opinion, the Romans are just martial arts who wear the same armor, do not know how to live elegantly, are full of foul-mouthed, and love to fight. Since Rome conquered Egypt in a man's way, let her conquer Rome in a woman's way.
An extremely smart woman, she does not lack demeanor, skill, and knowledge. However, to successfully conquer a person, the first thing to control is not others, but your own heart. Whether she loves Caesar or Anthony, or the royal status behind them, she has truly sacrificed her beauty, her time, and perhaps, on some occasions that she did not even notice, her feelings . She resorted to all kinds of rhetoric and methods, and used her appearance, conversation and vision to bring joy to the people around her that was unimaginable in her life, so she was unwilling to leave, so that she was dependent on life and death. She succeeded, but she was besieged in her own success, because she unknowingly put her heart in it. Her nature is not willing to be restrained, as long as she lives freely and willfully all the way, but her identity requires her to clearly understand this power relationship. She hovered between the two, only hearing her own heart sigh softly.
