大宪章史话

如果你对历史剧着迷，这部剧绝对值得一看。如果你平时爱看英剧，或者对历史和政治感兴趣的观众千万别错过，看这剧绝对比上课还轻松愉快。如果你是个历史迷，或者单纯想挑战一下《权力的游戏》男神的硬汉形象，这绝对是部值得静下心来看的好剧。它用近乎电影级的制作，把大宪章签署的过程演绎成一场惊心动魄的“权利保卫战”，质感远超一般的历史纪录片。 本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇在剧中贡献了教科书般的演技，成功塑造了一个既有政治野心又极具个人魅力的“英伦怪咖”约翰王。它采用戏剧化再现的方式，将中世纪西方文明的里程碑事件，搬上舞台，既有宏大的政治博弈，又有细腻的情感纠葛。

　　We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart.

He explores its subsequent deployment, its contribution to making everyone – even the monarch – subject to the rule of law, and how this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the foundation of the US constitution. Magna Carta has become a universal symbol of individual freedom against the tyranny of the state, but with ever-tightening government control on our lives, is it time to resurrect it?
