Cassia: I couldn't believe he had the strength to do that.

Ariadne: Then you didn't see his muscles?

Cassia: That's not what I meant.
Milo: Why did you save my life?

Atticus: No gladiator should die from a blade to the back. When you die it should be to the front and it will come from my hand.

Milo: Well, I can make you a better promise: When you die, it will be quick and it will come from my hand.
Atticus: It is the gods. They have a plan for us all.

Milo: Perhaps. I saw the man who killed my family. Perhaps the gods spared me for a reason.
Cassia: Too many arrogant men who flatter you with their presence.
Atticus: For those of us about to die, we salute you. I die a free man!
Milo: You trust them to keep their word?

Atticus: I trust the law.
Proculus: You're brave, I'll give you that, but no savage can ever be a match for a Roman.
Atticus: Now who's the poor bastard who has to die for my freedom?
Ariadne: He made you feel alive?

Cassia: He made me feel... safe.
Cassia: You could ride before you were a gladiator?

Milo: I could ride before I could walk.
Milo: This isn't a battle. This is a massacre.

Atticus: How do you know?

Milo: Because I was there.
Corvus: What exactly is that slave to you?

Cassia: Everything that you are not.
Cassia: I don't want to spend our last moments running.
Cassia: Men killing each other for amusement is not a sport.
Cassia: If you ride, you have a chance at freedom.

Milo: But at what cost to you?
Cassia: Senator, you have mistaken me for the kind of woman who drapes herself across your lap in Rome.
Atticus: You are right, brother. Everything they promised - nothing but lies.
Cassia: Is this the end of the world? Why would the gods let this happen?
[first lines]

Title Card: In the darkness you could hear the crying of women, the wailing of infants, and the shouting of men. Some prayed for help. Others wished for death. But still more imagined that there were no Gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness. - Pliny the Younger, A.D. 79.
Atticus: What is your name? We will have to speak at some point.

Milo: No, we don't. What we have to do is kill each other at some point. So my name's my own, I have no interest in learning yours.
Cassia: [witnessing arena massacre] Is this what you call sport?

Corvus: No, Lady Cassia, this is not sport. This is politics.
[last lines]

Milo: [to Cassia as lava approaches] Don't look. Look at me. Just me.
Ariadne: [witnessing Milo kill an injured horse] Why would the brute do that?

Cassia: Because it was the kindest thing to do.
Proculus: wait... please

Atticus: [stabs him] Gladiators... DON'T BEG
Milo: [as he leaves Corvus to burn] My gods are coming for you

Don't think too much when you watch it, let's go to enjoy the eight pack abs of Xuenuo and the flat chest of the heroine! There are also a few small details: the white-robed virgins who serve the god of fire in the Colosseum are always ready to decide the life and death of men with a gesture of their little hands, as a mask as a symbol of sacred theater rituals, and a murex can squeeze a drop. A large purple drapery dyed with precious purple dye. Others might as well go to see Rome and Spartacus.

The epic disaster movie is not too good. The male and female protagonist Ma Xiang and acting are not attractive enough. The special effects of the screen are good, and the background of the story of Pompeii's demise is more attractive. It tells the story of a Celtic being annihilated by the Romans and finally surviving to become a gladiator. Later, he met the daughter of the lord of Pompeii, and became brothers with the black gladiator who was about to fight, to fight against the ugly Roman senator. Finally The collective is no match for the power of nature, the collective death story.
