Pompeii, one of the most developed cities in Europe in the Middle Ages, with prosperous commerce, beautiful architecture, and happy people. It was such a prosperous city at that time, but it was swallowed up by the sudden awakening and anger of a long-sleeping volcano. Destruction, which makes countless people regret and lament.
The film mainly narrates the lowest class of Pompeii at that time, the slaves, who were exploited by their masters and cast aside by the citizens, and risked their lives to participate in gladiator struggles for the pleasure of the citizens (whether gladiators really lived as cruel as slaves? It needs historical research, I will talk about the history narrated in the film here), leaning over at the bottom of the pyramid of power, the great pain of the body every day and the despair of facing the next day are eroding their hearts like worms, what is it? Support them to go down the road of life? It is the desire for freedom and the desire for hatred.
The director spent a lot of time narrating the events of the two gladiators, the princess, the Pompeii lord and the Roman officials before the volcanic eruption, the highlight of the film. The social background of Pompeii, in order to sing and convey the most beautiful ideals of people for thousands of years - the desire for freedom and the amazing love. Gladiators endure physical and mental pain and struggle to usher in their own light (of course, Milo, the protagonist of this film is largely for revenge).
It can be said that the spectacle of the volcanic eruption is in the service of the free heart and the beauty of love. The most exciting moments in the film are undoubtedly the black gladiators raising their hands to the sky and shouting "Die for freedom" before the fire and when Milo and the princess kiss for love before the fire. At this point, the director has perfectly interpreted the theme - the heart of freedom and the beauty of love are rooted in the human heart, and are the beauty that human beings are unswervingly pursuing. , will only make this heart last forever, let the beauty of freedom and love become a soul, never die before the end, and inspire people after the end.
