let me show you one last time
let me show you one last sign
you can find it...
but if you let me
I can make another world for us
The lyrics of the opening song are full of martyrdom, and the romantic moment puts people in the distant century of that distant country. In addition, the vicissitudes and mystery of history in the tune and singing make the priorities and the heartstrings. And after watching the first season, listening to this song again, I can understand the Medici family better.
A family that loves art has created a brilliant renaissance with the unity and hard work of several generations. The ruthlessness inherent in such a story is easily overshadowed by such a medieval romance. But luckily the show didn't do that.
The more extensive and extensive the content of the story itself, the more precise the entry point. With the death mystery of the older generation (Jordanny) throughout, no matter where the plot involves politics or religion, as long as Cosimo is still looking for the murderer, the plot and rhythm of the show will be pulled back in an instant. In the same way, this is why the effect of the later episodes is very poor, that is, I have not grasped this clue well, and I want to pull the focus of the plot to the next generation, but it makes people feel scribbled. But fortunately, this ending, and the motivation that makes me want to watch the next season, is not too bad.
The script runs through a clear line to the end, inserting multi-line parallel methods in the middle, and these cross-told stories are carefully arranged. The intersection of twenty years ago and today at the beginning of the film is the inheritance of father and son; the land of exile Cosimo meets the shadow of his first love and the hostess and the first love meet again - every interspersed narrative in the film is supported by the logic behind it.
These plots seem to have been criticized for comparing historical dramas with real history; but as a drama with artistic processing, it seems very appropriate. After all, the plot needs to show the Medici family with dramatic tension in a limited space.
I love the characters in this show, with Contessina leading the way. No matter how long it is, when I look back on this drama, I will definitely remember her beautiful eyes bright and firm, the lights and fire shadows flashing on her face, making her expression flicker and dark, but she is still dignified and elegant. When saving Cosimo from the death penalty, bravely broke into the church hall like a knight, sitting on the high horse, under the iron hooves, making everyone look up in panic. What kind of fearlessness and courage, what audacity!
With the exception of Contessina, every character is impressive. The sensitivity, entanglement, and pain of the characters' inner world do not make the action protracted and tedious, but are still in line with the decisiveness that such a huge family should have. In the face of death, he devotes himself without hesitation. In the face of temptation, he indulges his heart. If he cheats, he cheats. If he is loyal, he will be loyal to the end.
