Netflix今日推出的歷史記錄片，一共有4集的《 #埃及艷后 /Queen Cleopatra》剛看完，小時(shí)候看的是時(shí)長(zhǎng)很長(zhǎng)的電影版，是伊莉薩白泰勒的版本，而這次換成了黑人女星Adele James飾演。

這記錄片影集還未上映到現(xiàn)在，埃及起了不小的抗議，以表達(dá)不滿這支記錄片，將埃及最后一位法老Cleopatra給“黑皮膚化了”，認(rèn)為Netflix扭曲史實(shí)和對(duì)法老的不敬。

但其實(shí)這支記錄片第一刻是告訴觀眾或許黑人的Cleopatra，或許才是真正的合乎史實(shí)。

很不錯(cuò)的記錄片，演員演的都很棒，會(huì)覺得如果最后Cleopatra沒有遇見Mark Anthony會(huì)不會(huì)能夠無風(fēng)無雨的就渡過了她的埃及歲月？

但命運(yùn)的相會(huì)總有它的道理的，只是人難以看透吧。

?

還有Cleopatra也是善用她的魅力，但這魅力不是只有美貌而已，她精通多國(guó)語言、文學(xué)、天文、哲學(xué)又游遍各國(guó)，再加上埃及的這些貴族、法老們，是享有男女平權(quán)的意識(shí)。

所以在男尊女卑的羅馬，她的存在是多么獨(dú)特又出眾，也就為何能吸引Caesar和Mark Anthony，我相信她愛著這兩個(gè)人，但她更愛她的王國(guó)埃及，所以利用這樣的關(guān)系形同和羅馬的結(jié)盟，而她帶領(lǐng)的埃及也才能豐盛又和平。

最后要和Mark Anthony一同葬在一起的遺言很刻骨銘心。

?

還有她很愛她的孩子們，但我很好奇若Cleopatra平安的將王權(quán)交棒給3個(gè)孩子，是不是會(huì)有什么變革而改善近親通婚、手足相殘的陋習(xí)？

我想Cleopatra一定都想過而也會(huì)這樣改革，只是沒有機(jī)會(huì)看到而已。

#Netflix released a historical documentary series today called "#QueenCleopatra," which consists of four episodes. I just finished watching it. When I was younger, I watched the long movie version starring Elizabeth Taylor, but this time it features a Black actress, Adele James, playing the role of Cleopatra.

?

The series has already faced some protests in Egypt, expressing dissatisfaction with the portrayal of Cleopatra as a Black woman, and accusing Netflix of distorting history and disrespecting the last pharaoh of Egypt. However, the series actually begins by suggesting that a Black Cleopatra may be more historically accurate.

?

Overall, it's a great documentary series, and the actors all did a fantastic job. It made me wonder if Cleopatra would have been able to get through her reign in Egypt without meeting Mark Antony. But fate has its own reasons, and it's hard for us to understand.

?

Cleopatra was also adept at using her charm, but it wasn't just her beauty. She was proficient in multiple languages, literature, astronomy, and philosophy, and she traveled to various countries. In addition, the nobles and pharaohs in Egypt had a consciousness of gender equality. So in the male-dominated Rome, her existence was unique and outstanding, which is why she was able to attract Caesar and Mark Antony. I believe she loved these two men, but she loved her kingdom of Egypt even more. Therefore, she formed an alliance with Rome using these relationships, and Egypt under her leadership became rich and peaceful.

?

Her last wish to be buried with Mark Antony was very touching.

?

Cleopatra loved her children very much, but I wonder if she would have been able to make changes and reforms to end the practice of close kin marriage and the conflicts between siblings if she had peacefully handed over the throne to her three children. I believe she must have thought about it, but she didn't have the opportunity to see it happen.
