Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。北洋政府统治时期，盘踞上海的军阀武大帅之子武七（文章 饰）为洗刷耻辱，辗转找到了前清遗老马走日（姜文 饰）求助。在此之后，马走日和在法租界当警督的发小项飞田（葛优 饰）联手策划了名为“花域总统选举”的大型选美活动，和马从小就认识的现总统完颜英（舒淇 饰）成功卫冕。谁知就 在繁华喧嚣的最顶点，命运之车竟急转直下驶向深渊。在一个平凡的早上，完颜陈尸郊野，张皇失措的马走日找到武七的姐姐武六（周韵 饰）及其母亲齐老师（洪晃 饰），希望通过大帅帮自己洗刷杀人犯的罪名，结果却盲打误撞救下了险些被整死的项飞田。背负杀人犯之名的绝路逃亡，而武六则以该事件拍摄了名为《枪毙马走日》的电影，马的命运愈加扑朔迷离……。
