Cleopatra VII, the last king of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, was also known as "Cleopatra" by later generations. Such a high evaluation can maintain Egypt's 22-year life and work in peace and contentment.
The movie lasts for more than 4 hours, which is the longest movie I have ever seen. No one, this should have something to do with its slow rhythm. I have seen some old movies. The older the film, the slower the rhythm. It takes 2 seconds to pass by, while in old movies it takes 2-3 times as long to express. The film was published in 1963, and Fox spent huge sums of money to build it. There was no advanced computer technology at that time. In order to seek truth, many scenes were built for real, which also laid a hidden danger for the subsequent bankruptcy.
Returning to the movie, the beginning of the movie is a Roman civil war. The two sides of the battle are Caesar and Pangbei, Caesar, Pangbei and Crassus are "the first three alliances", jointly ruling Rome, and later because of Crassus' death , in order to achieve dictatorship, the civil war began. Caesar was victorious and came to Egypt in pursuit of Pangbei, and Egypt at the moment was not very peaceful. When Ptolemy XII died, he ordered Cleopatra VII and his younger brother Ptolemy XIII to jointly rule. But the relationship between the siblings was not good (according to the law at the time, Cleopatra VII needed to marry her brother, in fact she was also Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII Born to her sister), Rome was the protector and enforcer of the widow, Caesar came to ease the conflict between their sister and brother, and at this time the Queen was expelled from Alexandria (the capital at the time by her brother for murdering the king). It is Alexandria, and now the capital of Egypt is Cairo), Ptolemy XIII offered Pang Pei's head as a gesture of friendship, but Caesar was not happy, after all, he fought side by side for many years, and for Rome, Pang Pei was a hero , and ordered a burial for him. In the evening, when Caesar was discussing the war, someone brought the Queen to Caesar in the form of wrapping in a carpet. The Queen hoped that Caesar could help her to gain the throne alone, so she used the means of beauty, which proved to be very effective.
Later, Ptolemy XIII ordered someone to secretly poison it, which was seen by Empress Yan. Caesar announced that Ptolemy XIII was sent to the front line of the war. He died in the Alexandria War and drowned in the Nile River. Had a son, Caesar's first son due to the infertility of his wife in Rome. Queen Yan is different from other women. At this time, her ambition is gradually revealed. She hopes that Caesar can conquer the world like Alexander the Great, and that the republic of Rome can be changed to a monarchy, so that her son can inherit all this. Remember, all the calamities she encountered in the future were caused by this, her ambition was too great, and she had a strong pursuit of power.
(In addition, there is another character in Baidu search, which is not reflected in the movie - Ptolemy XIV, when he became Caesar's lover, was actually Ptolemy XIV's wife, but Queen Yan had real power, and later Caesar also invited the Ptolemys to Rome, and was poisoned by the Queen.)
After the child was born, Caesar returned to Italy in advance because of the need to govern the country, and then Empress Yan and her son were invited to Rome. This is the most exciting part. The scene is extremely luxurious. The palaces are much more splendid than those in Rome. Caesar built a statue for the Queen in Rome, and the arrival of the Queen was popular with the people, but it aroused the dissatisfaction of some members of the Senate, believing that she encouraged Caesar to implement the dictatorial monarchy. , but it was indeed the case, which eventually led to the assassination of Caesar by members of the Senate led by Brutus. Caesar's loyal general Antony announced Octavian (Caesar's nephew and adopted son) as Caesar's heir, and Queen Yan learned of this Afterwards, he took his son back to his country overnight.
After Caesar's death, a ruling coalition of the "Three Giants of Rome" formed by Octavian, Antony, and Lepida appeared. Octavian ruled Italy, Antony ruled the east, and Lepida ruled Africa to avenge Caesar. They jointly arrested Brutus and others from the rebel party. At this time, they were still working together. Later, Anthony needed military salaries to fight in the march, so he thought of Egypt and turned to the Queen for help, but was mocked by the Queen. For men, it is estimated that this is the case. Everything is under her control. Anthony was captured by Queen Yan for a long time. Anthony stayed in Alexandria for many days and had no intention of participating in the Senate. One after another, the participants headed by Octavian began to ridicule and ridicule the love affair between Anthony and the Queen. Anthony, who learned about this, had no choice but to go back, but once he went back, what awaited him was a wedding planned by Octavian , The whole country knows that although it was a political marriage, the Queen was very angry, because this marriage meant that the Queen became Anthony's prostitute. On the one hand, Antony needed to consolidate his regime with Octavian, and on the other hand, he needed financial support for his expedition to Parthia, so he found the Queen for the second time. David broke up and asked him to marry him and divorce Octavian's sister. Anthony was in love with the Queen. It can be said that the Queen said and did what the Queen said. Anthony agreed to all the requests made by the Queen, and was carried away by love. It has also been said before that everything Queen Yan has done is to pave the way for her son and herself to take power and rule Rome and even the world. She is extremely dissatisfied with Octavian taking away the position of her son's heir.
In Antony's will, it was stated that the son of the queen would inherit the throne, and one-third of the Roman territory was given to the queen. Octavian illegally announced Antony's will in the senate, which successfully aroused public anger. The property of Rome was taken away, and Octavian was very popular, which set off the first battle between Octavian and Antony - the naval battle, and the crown was angry. Antony's soldiers were all marines, and they fought at sea. However, how could Anthony ever organize a naval battle, this is not his strength at all, and his military strength is not strong enough, the outcome can be imagined, but it was not the failure that defeated Anthony, but the ship that saw the Queen escape in the middle of the war, He panicked, his beloved was about to abandon him, disregarding his own soldiers fighting on the battlefield, disregarding their lives, chasing after the Queen's boat and leaving, this was no intention of deserting, a disgrace of a general, how to let his subordinates Soldiers at his command? Anthony's situation for a while back was hopeless. The second time I fought with Octavian, although it was a road battle, the people's hearts had changed obviously. When I woke up in the morning, my love would be killed, the soldiers all ran away, Octavian didn't kill him, let him go back Alexandria looked for Empress Yan, intending to kill two birds with one stone. After returning, he thought that Empress Yan was dead and committed suicide. Then Octavian occupied Egypt and found Empress Yan's hiding place, and discussed that Empress Yan could go back to Rome with him, drive a parade, and She showed off to everyone, and agreed to all the conditions of the Queen, but in the end, the Queen did not get his wish, and asked the maid to bring figs containing poisonous snakes, put on the golden robe that she saw Anthony for the first time, and committed suicide.
Anthony is not as good as Caesar, and the Queen Mother also knows that there is no second Caesar in the world. Anthony has a certain military talent, but he is ignorant of political means. At the mercy of Queen Yan, he pushes him to the edge of the cliff step by step. In the end, there is nothing. get. The queen, the queen, the queen, Anthony has been following the queen from beginning to end. Compared with Caesar, Anthony is more immersed in the beauty of the queen, unable to extricate himself. Queen Yan once said to Anthony: "If you have love, you forget everything, your identity, and your ambitions." On the contrary, Octavian's cherishing of words was like gold in the past, and he was ridiculed by others, but later he had a big problem. In reverse, the whole character became heroic. He used his strong political skills to bring down Anthony. In the days when Anthony was not in Rome, he won over people's hearts, eradicated his opponents, recruited troops, and Octavian's power gradually expanded, and Anthony could not go back. , Queen Yan can rule men, but failed to rule the world.
