Roma and HBO

When I was in middle school, my family bought a set-top box, and I could watch some overseas TV channels, HBO is one of them. At that time, my father had a tendency to worship foreigners. Although he didn’t understand English, he was very happy to watch HBO from the United States. Everyone knew about HBO. Usually every few minutes, a man/woman/woman started to gnaw at each other, and then My dad just looked at me and said that foreigners are more open, but after a few rounds, they started to roll the sheets. My dad couldn’t hang up. He picked up the remote control and silently changed the channel. Of course, he might be watching different things when I wasn’t around. Luck is unknown. Thanks to HBO, American dramas left a very violent + pornographic impression in my young mind. Later, when I went to college and began to officially enter the world of American dramas, I gradually realized that this is just HBO's style. I recently finished watching Game of Thrones, and I suddenly remembered Rome. I finished watching two seasons in a week.

It's a very good show. The biggest feeling after watching it is the sexual concept of the Roman people, which can no longer be simply described by the word "open". As the representative of the common people, Vorenus, the male No. 1, can be called a Taoist priest. After discovering that his "grandson" turned out to be his wife's illegitimate child, he immediately killed his wife and killed the illegitimate child. The eldest daughter was forced to do it when she was sold as a slave. Prostitute, my buddy actually announced in front of everyone that his daughter was a prostitute and his son was an illegitimate child, and he kept saying that the eldest daughter couldn't get married. Compared with him, the various noble people in the play seem to have no moral values ​​at all. Octavian slept from top to bottom, in order to buy a horse to sleep with Jews, he had true love with his daughter's husband and sent Octavian away. to seduce his uncle. Octavian's sister seduced her own younger brother, engaged in homosexuality with her uncle's (Caesar's) ex-lover, and gave birth to a child without knowing who the father was. Not to mention Cleopatra, she kept saying that she wanted to prostitute herself for the country and the people. When Octavian was young, it was nothing to do with his sister. When he was older, he chose a wife, found a woman who was married and proved that he could have a baby (aka already gave birth to a baby), and ran to ask others to divorce and marry him. After marriage Engage in SM again.

The basic relationship between the male lead and the male lead Pullo is also one of the important points of the show. Compared with the "uncomfortable" personality of the male lead, the male lead is more pleasing. His previous relationship with the two women There are also moving points. Fortunately, he finally survived and got a better ending. Vorenus didn't have to die. He survived countless dangers before, but Niobe's tragic color after his death made people think that he had to die.

The supporting roles were also selected very successfully. I think the most hated woman in the show is Servilia. The cast is very suitable. Historically, she is older than Caesar. The person who collapses is the gods and gods all day long. I feel that her family is an old and shiny name, so she has her own god, so she prays and curses all day and night, and then she fights with someone who can't be beaten to death. Like Xiaoqiang, he continued to engage in conspiracy and finally committed suicide. The most hated man should be Cicero, the famous orator of ancient Rome is a capricious and insufficient villain in the play. The actors in Octavian's youth are quite handsome. Although the characters are a bit introverted and scheming, they are not disgusting. The actors after adulthood are too ugly, and the characters develop in a perverted direction. Octavian's mother, Atia, can be said to drive low and walk high. When she first appeared on the stage, she felt like a woman with no bottom line and speechless. Later, she found out that she has a brighter personality and is much stronger than that inexplicable Servilia, and she has a good relationship with Anthony. Touching, in the end she chokes Octavius's wife is really domineering and heart-warming. Antony and Pullo have similar personalities, and they are also cute. I feel that there is no emotion between him and Cleopatra, but Cleopatra did not have a good influence on the hero of his life, she unmanned him, unfortunately he and Atia should be more suitable of a pair. Cleopatra is portrayed as a contradictory character, both bold and politically savvy. Caesar's ruthlessness is also very well portrayed.

This drama has only been filmed for two seasons. It is said that it is because of the budget. In fact, it is not very ostentatious. Most of the plots are indoor character dramas, and there are few war scenes. The Roman square, the streets, the duel arena, and the Egyptian palace. The scenery is also very simple. Most of the actors are very successful, and many of their appearances are quite similar to the statues of me that have been handed down. If there is more investment, this historical drama should be more successful.

Rome quotes

  • Lucius Vorenus: THIRTEEN! THIRTEEN!

  • Servilia of the Junii: Gods of the Junii, with this offering I ask you to summon Tyche, Megaera, and Nemesis so that they may witness this curse. By the spirits of my ancestors I curse Gaius Julius Caesar. Let his penis shrink. Let his bones crack. Let him see his legionnaires drown in their own blood. Gods of the Junii, I offer to you his limbs, his mouth, his breath, his speech, his hands, his heart, his stomach. Gods of the Inferno, let me see him suffer deeply, and I will rejoice and sacrifice to you.
