Cleopatra, the famous Cleopatra VII, the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty. She is brilliant in appearance, has a superior IQ, is good at wrists, has a bad heart, and has a life full of drama. In particular, her relationship with Caesar and Antony of the Roman Empire, as well as various rumors, made her a classic figure in literary and artistic works. Cleopatra's story continues to inspire filmmakers around the world. One can only guess by imagination how beautiful one of history's most mysterious women really is. There are several versions of "Cleopatra" in history, played by famous actors from different periods, trying to show the life of this legendary woman from all aspects. Let's pick some of these ancient versions of Cleopatra to see which one is a favorite:

The 1934 version of Cleopatra, starring Claudette Colbert

Cecil S. "Cleopatra" directed by B. Demir, the film has been nominated for several Oscars. It feels that Demir's sound films are not as imposing as his silent films, which may be limited to the length of the film, and the story is not fully unfolded. Claudette Colbeth's comedic temperament led to the joy of her Cleopatola as soon as she appeared. Although this film is not good enough, I still have to admire Demir's daring to navigate such a grand theme of historical films.

The film ended up not winning. It is said that one of the reasons for not winning the award was because of the costumes of the film: the overly open costumes of the actresses caused displeasure among the judges. Now it seems that in those days, such a character style may have been a bit difficult for the judges to accept.

Personally, I think this version of Cleopatola is still very beautiful, and it also performs the style of the character itself. It's a shame not to win the award.

In the historical drama directed by Gabriel Pascal, Cleopatra is played by Vivien Leigh. Inspired by George Bernard Shaw's plays, the director chose a British actress, even though she was past the age of the heroine. Above all, Vivien Leigh's unusual dress is remembered by many: incredible tiaras, lavish jewelry and elaborate dresses, and under the direction of Oliver Messel, the costume department went to great lengths to create the image of the true goddess of Cleopatra.

At that time, actresses throughout Hollywood were proud to play Cleopatra, and my personal favorite works of Vivien Leigh were Lady Hamilton or Anne Karenina, but I think that the acting skills in these works made people feel that the acting skills exploded the street car Desire.

"Two Nights Stand of the Egyptian Queen" is an Italian comedy film directed by Mario Matoli, which tells the story of a servant of the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, who spends the night with her janitor every night and poisons him the next morning, so no one dares to take this position, but the naïve officer Sisaringer, who has just returned from abroad, takes pride in being his janitor, unaware of the danger, and that night he replaces another guard captain to keep vigil for the queen. Fortunately, on this day the queen used a slave girl to replace her, and the nature of the result changed. Sophia Roland plays Cleopatra and her doppelgänger Niska.

Personally, I learned about this movie because of Sophia Roland, and the result was unexpectedly good. The male protagonist really strung together the whole play, and the plot and laughter were also set very well. Roland is very beautiful, one person plays two corners, the beauty of that era did not rely on plastic surgery and makeup, it was very natural, and the beauty was high-end.

Putting aside factors other than the film, this may be the most local movie that many people have seen so far, Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra VII Cleopatra VII from the beginning to the end of the movie is a different set of costumes every time she appears, which is simply too rich.

For example, the name of the person in the film is very interesting, the architect's name is Edifis, and this is the English language of "building", his assistant is named Otis, that is, Otis, everyone should know this, it was Otis who invented the world's first elevator, and in this movie Otis also built an "elevator" in the completed palace, and when the door was opened and closed, there was a black man holding a triangular iron and knocking out the same "ding" as the current elevator. And when the Roman officer said "the Empire's counterattack is about to begin", his helmet looked exactly like the Black Knight in Star Wars from the back, and the appearance music of the Black Knight in Star Wars sounded, and his line will also remind people of the Empire Counterattack.
