Beauty and Sadness: The Past and Present of Cleopatra

A girl's life is always answering a question: How much can she have a man's love? The girl we are going to talk about today (let's call it "the girl", because she was only 40 when she died), her life has to answer a bigger question: what does it depend on to conquer a man? And more importantly, what kind of man is she unable to "conquer"? Let's simply paint her a portrait first, a beautiful girl should be painted by someone. Her nose is neither high nor low, and her oval face has an oriental charm. Perhaps because her ancestors are Greeks, she has blue eyes of Western beauty; she loves to study mathematics and astronomy, and is proficient in poetry and literature. She has multiple languages, respects the philosophy and science of the Greek era, it can be said that she is a "scholar"; "This is after Egypt!" This scene, I think, really surpasses any grand scene in Taylor's film, and she fully captures the fact that the Queen is "of Egypt." "After Egypt" instead of "After Rome", and she is also the "King of Egypt" and the patron saint of Egypt. In this sense, as a woman, she received love and gave love; as a queen, she guarded Egypt, and Egypt guarded her. She conquers men, by whatever means. But she wasn't always victorious, and there were men she couldn't conquer. What defeats her is that peace will eventually prevail, and a powerful empire will eventually replace the decaying dynasty, and all of this is exactly what her "enemy" Octavian wants to accomplish. What she wanted was "an independent Egypt", and what Octavian wanted was "Egypt as a Roman province". Octavian didn't need her life, but everything she had was used to "guard Egypt". If Egypt wasn't there, she wouldn't be there. Egypt, which has since become a province of Rome. Octavian established the Roman Empire and created 200 years of "prosperity and peace", known as "Augustus the Great". In various versions of the film, perhaps out of sympathy for her, Octavian is portrayed as a "villain", but in my opinion, a person who is committed to creating peace and prosperity is definitely a true hero at heart . "Little people" love war, only heroes love peace. More than a thousand years later, the Roman Empire collapsed, and the glory of "Augustus" was no longer. The common cultural motherland of Cleopatra and Octavian, Greece, also embarked on the road of striving for national independence together with the Egyptian people. ... Octavian is actually the most suitable person for Cleobat, and he thinks not only of "conquest", but also "construction". Antony can kill poets (Cicero, the most famous writer in ancient Rome), but Octavian is making more poets, which Cleobat actually likes. An era without poetry is tragic, and an era in which only one person "composes poetry" and the rest are "Fenghe" is boring. As a scientific materialist, I don't believe in the so-called past and present life, but I think that if the story of the two is artistically handled in the "afterlife", perhaps Octavian will strengthen one in the "defense of Greece". Beautiful and tough women can talk about poetry, talk about literature, and think about it together. Tomorrow, build a country of "eternal peace". Today, they are all statues, the white marble, for Octavian, is a story of "power and glory", for Cleopatra, is a story of beauty and sorrow. When the pen was just written, the first snow of the year was ushered in. The spirit of snow fluttering on the cheeks makes people feel moved and hopeful. A woman, she received love and gave love; as a queen, she guarded Egypt, and Egypt also guarded her. She conquers men, by whatever means.

    After watching HBO Rome, and then watching this, Octavian's image and Anthony's image are reversed, hey. . . It's hard to describe, the characters have their own emphasis in each movie, I still like HBO's Rome, just because it was the first time I came into contact with it.

    @mithrandir this is the one I mentioned to you! When I was in junior high school, I saw the Chinese transliteration version on the Central Eight Channels!
