Recently, a new Netflix film sparked controversy.
The documentary “Cleopatra” broke the bar of shame with a score of 2.6 in Douban due to its magical transformation of history.
IMDb is even more impressive, with a score of 1 firmly setting the lowest in history.
An article written by Uncle Yu at that time also attracted a lot of discussion from the audience.
As for the trend of political correctness in Hollywood, everyone began to worry about the loss of their own history and culture.
One netizen even predicted that a black version of Wu Zetian would appear one day.
In fact, the “Demon Revised Wu Zetian” has already come true.
It’s just that it’s “Wu Zetian” from neighboring Russia.
Not only did they change from Russians to Americans, but they also joined many black people in the Tsar’s court.
However, to my surprise, this magical transformation was incredibly popular.
Now in the third season, the reputation is still strong.
Fish Uncle, who has been following the drama, can pat his chest to ensure:
This “magic modification” is very excessive, but it is also quite effective.
Today, let’s talk about it with everyone – The Great Season 3 of Catherine the Great
Take a look at the poster first——
It’s so strange.
Dressed in fancy clothes, with a strange expression, and a bear.
Take another look!
In fact, this kind of ‘unorthodox poster’ is the traditional artistic talent of this drama.
In the first season, let the female lead directly compare the middle finger and size the poster.
In the second season, the male lead was lifted up and revealed at the bottom of the skirt.
Poster design, featuring a vulgar sand sculpture.

Looking at the story again, one can more intuitively feel a strong sense of humor.
The protagonist of this drama is the only empress in Russian history to be crowned as the “Great Emperor”——
Catherine II.
In history, Catherine the Great was known for his bravery.
She has a myriad of romantic relationships, reportedly having 23 lovers.
I also have a deep understanding of politics.
Relying on his mistress to launch a coup, he deposed his husband Peter III and ascended to the throne as the 12th Tsar of Russia.
There is a proper way to govern the country.
After taking office, Russia implemented a series of new policies, making it the first powerful country in Europe at that time.
Looking at history, it can be called the Russian version of “Empress Wu”.
A generation of empress~Catherine.
Any shot must be a magnificent epic.
There has been a TV drama called “Yekaterina the Great” produced in Russia, which is luxurious and exquisite.
Shooting for three consecutive seasons, the reputation has been rising all the way.
The scores for three seasons of Douban are 8.7, 8.9, and 8.8, respectively
HBO has produced an elderly version of ‘Catherine the Great’, starring veteran British actor Helen Mirren.
The flavor is not so pure, but there is still epic dominance.
In this film ‘Catherine the Great’, it completely goes against the beaten track.
Epic feeling, all thanks.
At first glance, it turned into a “little sweet puppet drama”.
The male and female protagonists are all handsome and beautiful.
Elle Fanning plays Catherine the Great.
This child star, who grew up sweet from childhood to adulthood, is now even more charming in temperament.
Although playing the hardcore queen, there is still some mischievous energy hidden in the sexy charm.
Nicholas Holt plays the male lead Peter III.
Born as a child star, he has now become a charming handsome man.
With acting skills and beauty, Holt played the role of the dissolute and incompetent scumbag Peter III with ease.
No matter how many bad things he does, it is difficult to be disliked.
The eye-catching Cassie is destined to make this drama very “beautiful”.
It also washed away its original sin of wantonly altering history.
How did this drama change its magic?
Firstly, there is a major change in personnel settings.
In this drama, Catherine the Great, who was proficient in politics in history, has become a full romantic brain.
When she first appeared, she was not yet 16 years old.
Under the political alliance, he was about to become the queen of Tsar Peter III.
Catherine harbors innocent imagination for her future beautiful marriage life.
She has a longing for sex.
I am familiar with the theoretical knowledge imparted by my mother and look forward to a romantic sexual encounter.
Chattering incessantly about the maid
She longs for romantic love.
I fell in love with Peter the Great at first sight, hoping for a romantic love that would last until death.
Little stars almost appeared in my eyes
Unexpectedly, Peter the Great was a scumbag with a superficial appearance.
On her wedding night, she got drunk and came to Catherine’s side.
Quickly ending the battle, he turned around and went to find another woman.
Peter is always indifferent to Catherine.
Suppress her hobbies and spoil her spirits.
Not to mention love, there is not even basic respect.
In this way, the series of blows from the scumbag husband made Catherine increasingly disappointed.
Finally, with the help of a group of courtiers eager to overthrow the Tsar, Catherine launched a coup and ascended to the throne.
She became the new Tsar.
Do you think Catherine’s accession to the throne is about to embark on her political career of mass murder?
Smile, not at all.
What I think the most is still love.
Overthrew Peter, but the two were still intertwined.
A state of complete love and killing.
Last second, they even designed to kill each other.
In the next second, it will be hard to part with the burning firewood.
A moment ago, I thought Catherine was going to kill Peter for the country and society.
The next minute, I burst into tears when I saw Peter’s double who fell to the ground.
And Peter III was also half a pound.
He is undoubtedly a scumbag, but it is also true that he does not love rivers and mountains and loves beauties.
Don’t take the opportunity to overthrow Catherine and regain power, but just stay with her for a long time.
Linzi, how can I live without you
As long as he can be together, he is willing to abandon those who are in the same camp as himself.
It was clearly discussing national affairs, but it turned into a blatant sprinkle of sugar and an explosion of sweetness.
Even if two people cheat on each other, they can still smile and bury their grudges.
Our love can bear any burden
And the way the two express their love is often simple and rough.
This has caused the entire drama to explode in scale, directly reaching out to HBO.
The entire palace has almost no pure corner.
As long as there is no expectation of reproducing real history, then this drama will undoubtedly make you happy.
It’s not the pleasure of the female protagonist growing and transforming, and killing enemies all the way.
But the pleasure of two romantic minds loving and killing each other, constantly sprinkled with sugar.
Just like the posters of this season, the two of them smiled, while the curtain behind them covered the burning palace.
What does it mean?
The meaning is, even if the palace explodes, don’t hinder us from dating!
So, the only correct way to open this drama is to fiercely knock on these high looking CPs.
The grand history, the intricacies of intrigue, are all background plates of strong affection between male and female leaders.
As the movie watcher’s note goes at the beginning of each episode, ‘This story is occasionally true.’
In short, electronic pickles are enough to make you happy.
Transforming the historical emperor into a love brain is only part of the magic transformation of this drama.
Including the two main characters, the entire drama almost engages in indiscriminate banter about that period of history.
For example, diversity of actors.
Black high-ranking officials also appeared in the Russian court.
For example, the LGBTQ element.
Since it was the dissolute czar’s court, there was more than just heterosexuality.
On weekdays, a serious female official will have a skin to skin relationship with a maid.
The big shepherd, who often shows off people seriously, is even more brainy with only sperm.
I only want to have sex with people, regardless of gender, even if it’s not human.
Looking at the entire palace, there are hardly any serious ministers.
The general looked at the ferocious spirit.
But in fact, when faced with difficulties, one only thinks of shooting and killing.
The counselor looked at the castle in his heart.
In fact, he has a very small stomach, only loyalty but no real strategy.
Only Catherine’s mother can be considered the most politically minded person in the entire drama.
She advocates using tough means to govern the country, and only by removing dissent can the political power be consolidated.
However, for such a unique political figure, his exit was both sudden and ridiculous.
She accidentally fell from the windowsill while having an affair with Peter and died.
Very bold, but lost to a male.
Actually, this arrangement also reflects another characteristic of this drama——
Like a children’s play of power struggle.
Fighting is just a few sparse waves of people fighting against each other.
Seize power, stand and argue with each other.
Execution, open row by row to bear bites.
As for who dies first, it depends on who stands closer to the executioner.
The serious and tense power struggles of the past in the same subject matter are completely absent here.
Those who truly know how to handle things will only leave in a hurry.
It’s like saying——
Sorry, high-end players are not suitable for this low-end game.
If we seek truth, then this drama is completely unfamiliar.
Not to mention the playful style, from all Russians speaking English to various details of clothing and culture, there are significant differences from history.
That’s also why this drama received a lot of negative reviews during its initial broadcast.
Those who hold the expectation of watching historical dramas will only be greatly disappointed.
The reason why this drama failed to repeat the same reputation earthquake as “Cleopatra” is also due to its playful attitude towards history.
Importantly, it states at the beginning that it is not real history, and frankly tells everyone that it is just nonsense.
Based on this premise, the audience can naturally set aside all historical research and focus on watching handsome men and beautiful women fall in love.
Fill your rare mealtime with the mindless storyline of those sand sculptures.
To be honest, Uncle Yu first went into the pit because he looked cheerful and had high sugar and was still funny.
It makes me intuitively feel that it is seriously doing a puppet show.
But it was also quickly discovered that the playful style of ‘Catherine the Great’ was also intricately connected to reality.
It may seem like being dishonest, but in fact, it also secretly “carries private goods”.
For example, the topic of feminism.
When Catherine first entered the palace, she repeatedly revealed her great blueprint in her heart.
The frequent golden sentences seem to have become the most “inconsistent” part of this humorous history.
For example, artists.
Taking advantage of the historical background of the story, a hodgepodge of Russian writers emerged.
Descartes, Rousseau, Tolstoy, and others from different eras have all been placed in the same context.
And each one was mocked as politically incorrect and even malicious villains.
What makes people laugh the most is an allusion to the current political landscape.
Catherine welcomed the visit of the US ambassador.
After a series of toasts and discussions, both parties reached an agreement.
At the dinner table, the US ambassador said something that made people laugh both inside and outside the show——
The United States and Russia will have a lasting friendship
Compared to other dramas of the same genre, ‘Catherine the Great’ is like a mudslide.
Based on historical themes, it tells the most absurd stories.
It seems to be hiding a knife in a smile, and it also seems to be borrowing from the past to satirize the present.
Uncle Yu couldn’t guess either.
What I see in my eyes is only handsome men and beautiful women with various large-scale sand sculptures.
After all, having fun is enough.
