一場皇太后、太后與皇妃之間的朝廷權力角力戰，絕對稱得上土耳其版本《金枝慾孽》！不過故事的背景更早，是14世紀土耳其的鄂圖曼帝國，可見爭權奪利的醜陋人性不分地域、千古不變。生於奴僕人家的Makepeyker，十四歲時被母親帶入後宮，長得清秀純真的她璇即引來年輕國王的目光，並誓言非卿不娶，結果被嫌棄其出身的皇太后及太后重重阻撓，Makepeyker慢慢捲入眾人的權力爭鬥之中。當上寵妃的她也不再是當日的無知少女，她一步一步扶搖直上往皇后寶座走去，一點一滴鞏固自己的權力，後來更成為屹立鄂圖曼帝國三十年不倒、最具影響力的女人。 　　Mahpeyker is a biopic of Kosem Sultan, the most powerful woman in Ottoman imperial history, of how a naïve young girl transforms into the legendary female power of the empire, where she was in power for nearly three decades. Mahepeyker was a slave girl and later given to a poor family. Destiny changes when her foster mother takes her to the palace. At that very moment, Sultan Ahmet spots her and is determined to marry this moon-faced beauty. However it is not exactly a fairy tale marriage. The most powerful women in the palace, Ahmet’s mother and grandmother disapprove Mahpeyker’s origins and keep sending her off for education that never seems to end. But soon enough, Ahmet saves Mahpeyker from the hands of his elders and for a while they lead a happy life. During that time she gives birth to Murat IV and Ibrahim I. When Ahmed dies at 28, Kosem’s education pays off, helping her to become an influential and undefeatable force in the palace.

1861年，"辛酉政变"后，新皇载淳即位，慈安、慈禧两宫太后开始了垂帘听政。太平天国农民革命，使刚刚回到京城的皇室惶恐不安。慈禧太后力排众议，果断起用汉臣曾国藩镇压了赵义军。从此，她更加骄横跋扈，逐渐控制了整个朝廷。而曾国藩则在镇压太平天国和捻军的过程中，趁南扩充了湘军，壮大了势力。八年以后，宫廷内权力争斗日益尖锐，早已实权在握的慈禧太后依靠外洋势力，进一步卖国求荣，不断地巩固着自己的权位。届时载淳业已长大成人，两宫太后同时为他物色皇后。载淳封慈安选中的阿鲁特氏为皇后，封慈禧选中的富察氏为皇妃。为此，慈禧心中极为不悦。慈禧的心腹太监总管安德海借机向主子大献殷勤，慈禧恩准他秘密出京，为其刺探南京天王府的财宝，定制苏杭的绸锻刺绣。家德海一路上吃喝嫖赌，胡作非为，为百姓所痛恨。山东巡抚丁葆祯密谏朝廷，恳请查处。皇上降旨"就地正法"，安德海被斩讫。慈禧心中又添切肤之恨。同治皇帝大婚后，与皇后阿鲁特氏十分恩爱，但他终因政治上受排挤，生活上遭干预而私出宫闱寻欢作乐，身染"天花"致死，"驾崩"时年仅19岁。阴险的慈禧又连施毒计，先后害死了东太后慈安和同治皇后。终于，养心殿的皇帝宝座上又换上了一个更加年幼的 "真龙天子"，而慈禧太后又开始了她的第二次垂帘。

Frank Simon’s keenly observed 1968 documentary is a behind-the-scenes view of a drag-queen contest at the Town Hall, in midtown Manhattan. The movie starts with a portrait of the MC, Jack, whose drag name is Sabrina. Simon details the emergence, by way of makeup and costuming, of Jack’s – and the contestants’ – superb artistry. In their hotel rooms, the show’s participants discuss the practicalities of gay and trans life at the time: their relationships with their partners and with parents and neighbors, the option of sex-affirming surgery. Despite its flash and glitz, the pageant comes off as difficult, exacting work; for all the camaraderie of the drag queens, the competition is fierce and serious. Simon reveals racial tensions among the contestants as well as the eternal conflict between life-worn troupers and talented young newcomers. Whether pushing the camera close to the performers or zooming in from afar, Simon intimately captures the lavish life of theatrical imagination that inspires them, and presents the public performance of gender as an urgent act of liberation.
