After 4 days, I finally finished watching this epic film. Let’s talk about the costume props first. You must know that this film is a bankrupt film by 20th Century Fox, so it must be a super blockbuster in terms of costume props. The full live shooting has created the splendid Ptolemaic palace and the Roman House, and every appearance of the heroine Elizabeth Taylor in it is very luxurious and elegant, which is really a visual feast! ! ! One of the most unforgettable scenes is the scene where Clobatra took his son to see Caesar in Rome. A taller and bigger mythical beast, and the clothes of the queen and little Caesar are also a complete set of gold clothes, extremely gorgeous, anyway, it is really difficult to describe in words... Let's talk about the storyline, a movie will bring together the Ptolemaic Dynasty and the The Roman Republic tells the story of Cleopatra and the three giants of Rome, Caesar, Antony and Octavian, then this movie is bound to be very long, because the frame of this story is really too big. The prototype of this film was 24 hours long, and the later editing was crazy into six hours, and finally it was released for more than three hours. It was really difficult for the later personnel... Although the editing of the naval battle between Anthony and Octavian was a bit abrupt, But I don't think the overall continuity of the story is broken. There are two places that impressed me the most: the first is the first meeting between Caesar and Clobatra. In just a few short words of meeting, he quickly analyzed the situation for Caesar, expressed his willingness to cooperate, and figured out Caesar. He really deserves to be Queen Clobatra, proud, smart, brave, and acting. Decisive, social skills are superb! The second is the meeting between Anthony and Crobata on the ship. The queen used her beauty and Anthony's competitiveness for Caesar to successfully turn a generation of hero Mark Anthony into her own servant, although there is a suspicion of weakening Anthony (Anthony in history is not such a love brain? ? ), but still paved the way for later stories, hinting at the fate of Anthony, which is reasonable. Most of the storyline of the film has been restored to history, and some dramatic elements have been added relatively. Although the acting skills of the actors are slightly exaggerated (do you know the acting skills in the 1960s and 1970s??), they are acceptable. Let's talk about the next few protagonists. Personally, I actually prefer this version of Caesar's image. Rex Harrison has a good grasp of Caesar's general demeanor, ambition and domineering side effects. In his rivalry with Taylor, the psychological game between Caesar and Clobatra can be felt, making the audience feel that there is more desire than love between Caesar and the Queen. On the other hand, Anthony, in fact, he is the character I don’t like the most in this drama, and the most pity character. It’s not that the actor is not good. In fact, Richard Burton’s acting skills are still good, which is fully reflected in the later stage of the film. out. However, under the influence of screenwriting, editing, and various aspects, Anthony has become a mediocre person with developed limbs, a simple mind, no ambition, and a blind love brain, which I am not very satisfied with. And what about our queen, my Cropatra? ? There is no doubt that Elizabeth Taylor's version of Crobatra is the most audience-recognized version. In this play, Taylor showed her superb acting skills. Her delicate facial features are matched with Egyptian makeup. Even if she doesn't do anything, just one look can make people scream, okay? (I realized that Caesar and Anthony couldn't help themselves ahahahaha). I also watched Vivien Leigh's version of Cleopatra before, which is also beautiful, but I always feel that it lacks a bit of domineering. The generation of female queens of Clobatra, by herself, continued the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt for 22 years in the imperial battle of the jungle. life, then she must be a person who is intelligent, decisive, domineering, and understands the situation. She is not just a beauty, she is also a very wise beauty, which Taylor interprets can be said to be Perfect. Later, when people mentioned Cleopatra again, they almost always thought of the Taylor version of Cleopatra. From this point of view, Taylor's version of Cleopatra was very successful. So finally, let's talk about Cleopatra. Clopetra VII, commonly known as Cleopatra, was the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Dynasty in ancient Egypt. Her most important achievement was that under the covetousness of the Roman Empire, not only did she temporarily save Egypt from being annexed by Rome, but also she The kings of the mighty Roman Empire fell under their pomegranate skirts, willingly giving their lives to its service. After watching this film, I also searched for a lot of official historical information. In fact, I think that Clobatra and Caesar and Anthony did not have much love, or love from political purposes. Then the subsequent results are probably predictable, but this also made the legendary life of Krobatra. The evaluation of her by later generations was also mixed. Dante, Shakespeare, etc. all described this legendary woman as a "sexy temptress of the world"; and Bernard Shaw also called her "a willful and unsympathetic woman", and some People evaluated her as a generation of female monarchs with outstanding talent, intelligence and wit. History has always been like this, leaving only a few multiple-choice questions for future generations, and most of them are ambiguous reading comprehension questions. At the end of the film, Krobatra takes his own life by locking himself in the mausoleum. This reminds me of Wu Zetian, a generation of female emperors in our country. She used to be powerful in her own country, but she asked someone to erect a wordless monument for her after her death. The matter has come to this point, then the merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. bar~ Robatella locked herself in the mausoleum and took her own life.
