2019.02.08 After chewing for a few days, I gradually understood the screenwriter's intention.
The confrontation between the Medici and Albizi is the conflict between the emerging businessmen and the old aristocracy. Relieving the poor and helping the weak and improving the situation of the common people is not the setting of Tom Su White Lotus, but is indeed the political proposition of the Medici family. On the one hand, this is due to their origin, and on the other hand, it is also their political need to obtain the support and support of the Florentine citizens under the republic. As the first group of humanists, the conflict between family business and personal morality in the gray area really happened to Cosimo, but he could not let go of either side. Whether it was Contessina or Lorenzo, the pain was incomprehensible to anyone other than him. Compared with the little Lorenzo who pressed the gourd and floated the scoop in the second season, Cosimo's personal experience actually has more places that can be explored, whether it is from an event or a psychological aspect.
Cosimo has a brain and is an unquestionably brilliant heir to the banking family. But for decades, his heart has always been awkward. The burden of the family inhibited his pursuit of art and freedom, and his sense of reason and sense of responsibility made him silently accept his own destiny, instead of fiercely resisting like the arrogant grandson and love-brained granddaughter in the second season. But the flame of rebellion in his heart has never been extinguished, even though he is calm and mature on the surface. The father, and the marriage to Contessina, are the embodiment of family responsibility, while Bianca and Maddalena twenty years later are symbols of art and the dream of freedom. For the former, he always wanted to escape, but in fact it was impossible to escape. In fact, he relies on these two people, but he refuses to admit it. Bianca seems to have left but never goes away. Maddalena's business is not a simple worm, but the comeback of Bianca's ghost twenty years ago - his father is dead, Contessina is also thousands of miles away, not at this time. when. However, it is impossible for the fire in his heart to be successfully rekindled in this way, and the result is of course being ruthlessly suppressed by Contessimo, although the process is difficult to describe (I really wanted to throw a hammer into the screen and kill him when I watched it).
Cosimo loves the dome more than anything else, because it is only in this thing that his various entanglements can achieve the ultimate harmony - career and art, ideal and reality, morality and sin. He can fulfill his premature dream by funding artists and borrowing their eyes and hands. The construction of such an unprecedented dome will not only help enhance the family's current reputation, but will also make them last forever. Whether it is usury or not, the wealth he earned is dedicated to God and to the glorious and immortal cause of mankind.
Bianca and Maddalena are nothing, Contessimo's biggest enemy is Cosiduomo. [Smiles and tears.gif]
