The financial strength of Fox in 1963 was truly breathtaking. It was a historical grandiose and a fashion show where Elizabeth Taylor walked alone for four hours. Regardless of whether or not the 1960s film was bad when it aired, we have to say it was a shocking film. Julius Caesar's heroic fighting skills and the image of a generation of heroic heroes, the specific forms of ancient civilizations in ancient Egypt and ancient Rome ranged from the magnificent palace buildings to the old-fashioned and radical debates in the Senate, from the land and water warfare in the age of cold weapons to the magnificent and magnificent Rainbow's golden boat. Elements of ancient civilizations may thus be injected into the hearts of later generations and become lingering impressions. In addition to the boring academic textbooks of history, we need new teaching materials with flesh and blood, which allows us to add the wings of imagination and fly back to the birth era of the ancient civilization of mankind.
I watched it at 0.75x speed in four hours. In order to capture every word of the protagonist's wisdom and emotion, in order to understand the name and location of each battle, I would like to appreciate the queen's temperament and attire more. I don't want to comment too much on the circuitous linkage between the Queen's political life, national destiny and personal feelings. I always feel that the thinking of people who have received different historical education has long been solidified and preconceived. For example, we recall the empress Wu Zetian in our Chinese history. , we will be reminded of the cautionary tale of "there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests", and so on. Maybe we didn't understand the Queen's inner world after watching it, maybe the film is not as black and white as we preconceived, but maybe the 1963 version of "Cleopatra" is about a historical figure. of complex feelings.
However, the most memorable thing is the Queen's costumes every time she appears. In a special period, I will review this movie again. This is not only a movie, it is a history of ancient civilization and art.
