This is a work that is very beneficial when you look at it carefully.
The film relies on the historical background and uses the Queen of Egypt as a clue to interpret the story of power and love at that time. The scenes in the film have a special feeling of the ancient times of ancient Europe, from the battlefield of Caesar's victory at the beginning to the prosperity of Caesar when he first arrived in Egypt, to the gorgeous appearance of the queen afterwards, to the fierce debate in the House, and finally after Anthony. The defeat and the tragic death of the queen by taking poison have left me a profound influence after I have a general understanding of this historical event. It is said that this is a drama recommended by a history teacher. I think it tells the story of history very vividly, and it brings me into this story very naturally and naturally, allowing me to see this beautiful and wise Egyptian queen as a bystander. The influence of the times.
Of course, some people think that 4 hours of this movie made in 1963 is too long, the plot is too dragged, and I can't stand it. I also understand when I arrive, because I also watched it 1.5 times. It may be that we are all used to quickly understand the storyline and watch the background and the costume makeup of the characters. In addition, there are some English pronunciations of this show. Maybe it was because when I was shooting, I was trying to create that sense of age or the film at the time was in this dubbing style. It was a bit fast and a bit weird. Anyway, I didn't understand it too much. It's roughly past the subtitles and the screen.
It is said that the director almost went bankrupt in order to make this show, and the cost was not recovered until a long time. But in all fairness, this movie is really a work of conscience. First of all, from the perspective of image quality, the 63-year-old film is not so vague as it looks now. This is the technical strength of the time. Moreover, the film made in 1963 is still watched by so many people, and it has a profound influence on the characters in the play. For example, Elizabeth Taylor’s Queen of Egypt wears gold, silver, and gorgeous looks (even with strands of hair). It is inlaid with gold), as well as the queen's extremely luxurious royal life, it is everywhere that Egypt is rich and proud. The plot of the story has merits. In the end, the scenes of this drama have a real sense of age, switching so many different scenes, people with different behaviors, and different dresses, as well as the unique means of transportation in ancient times. It really took a lot of money. The mind is on the top. As a historical drama, it is really a classic.
Finally, let's talk about your own feelings about this drama. I think the life of the queen is wonderful and tragic. On the one hand, she conquered Caesar with her own wisdom and wisdom, helped her obtain the throne, and successively conquered Anthony and brought long-term peace to the country. But she was too ambitious and delusional to dictatorship in a democratically conscious place. As a result, the two great gods she clings to, one was miscalculated, the other was brave and unreasonable, and in the end she had nothing. Poor, she believed in love at the end, and met Anthony when she was expecting to come.
Caesar, after he had a son with the actress, she became a little arrogant when being instigated by the actress, otherwise if he was more cautious, he wouldn't be conspired by the villain.
As for Anthony, he is really the master who loves beauty and does not love Jiangshan. In order to be able to be with the actress, he reluctantly wants to go back to Rome, and does not care about political affairs. This also led to his subsequent failure. Moreover, after the final defeat, he didn't have the courage to slay himself, and he asked for help from others. He was also a very low person.
