Spectacular and tragic scenes, as well as thrilling and dangerous contests, all these, in addition to shock, can not help but raise doubts: since the end has come, and death is the fate that everyone cannot escape, then, in the face of death , does all this make sense?
Attict finally killed the senator's entourage, crushing his "Romans are invincible" sense of superiority before he died.
Milo and Cassia fled around the pass where Pompeii fell, and finally defeated the senator and ushered in the eternal kiss of death.
Yes, entire cities are ruining, and killing someone, or winning a love, doesn't give you immunity from death. In the face of the collapse of the earth, if you kill a person, you may be able to live a few minutes longer than him, even if you both die at the same time.
So in front of the rulers and enslavers, shouldn't such a natural disaster that manpower cannot resist should make them understand that they choose to let go?
Obviously, the director didn't think so, and neither did the screenwriter. So, what was the point of what they did before they died?
If the volcano hadn't erupted, death wouldn't have come later for Milo and Adikt. And for Cassia, this is an alluring love. Otherwise, under the coercion of her parents' lives, she would not have such an opportunity to fulfill her love.
Under power there must be resistance. The rule of the Romans has made them unable to retreat, and all they can return to the enemy is fists, saliva and blood.
However, I believe that even if Pompeii is not destroyed, what belongs to them is still the destiny they control. Although Atticut and Milo were slaves, they were always willing to admit that they were gladiators, and they were the strongest gladiators.
Atticut and Milo had a tie in their first fight, and while the two were fighting on the ground, the gladiator who wanted to avenge his younger brother attacked again, and this time it was a sneak attack.
If it hadn't been for Attict to save Milo, Milo would have been injured even if he hadn't died. Gladiators like them can only endure minor injuries and continue to fight, but it will inevitably reduce their combat effectiveness, and serious injuries are equivalent to being directly sentenced to death. But Adikt said that the gladiator could only die by a frontal kill.
This is an honor he defended with his life.
In the next dialogue between the two, you can see their self-confidence, courage and magnanimity. This is the quality of the strong. So even if we meet tomorrow in life and death, the two still cherish each other.
They are opponents recognized by the other side, and they are also natural allies.
In the eyes of others, they are slaves, but they have never had a slave heart.
And Cassia's aristocratic status did not restrain her either.
She neither cares about her own identity nor Miro's identity, (this is probably due to the tolerant and loving parents, especially her mother, every time she sees Cassia looking at Miro, her mother The eyes cast were all approval and joy), and for the senator, it was from the strict rejection at the beginning to the fierce resistance later. This makes the love between her and Milo not the love between a noble and a slave in the traditional sense, but the mutual attraction between two brave and equal souls.
The moment Milo stretched out his hand to Cassia, he acted like a noble knight, as if it wasn't her telling him, "Go away," that he overcame obstacles to rescue his imprisoned princess. Love, in dangerous moments, in impossible moments, happens.
And Cassia also showed her charm. The congressman kidnapped her in a carriage. When Milo galloped, she was not there waiting for rescue, nor was she crying, screaming, or cursing. After finding that the anger was useless, she immediately stopped talking. , while concerned about Milo, who was following desperately, trying to find a way to loosen the shackles.
In fact, she unraveled, which did her and Milo the greatest favor. In the end, the shackles became his grave when she also returned it to the Senator.
It made people look at her with admiration. She deserves Milo risking his life to return to the mansion to save him. When her warrior came, she reached out to meet her, and turned her own fate. Happiness, freedom and love are not favored by her just because she is an aristocrat, they are earned by herself, because she deserves it.
Some dignity, some pursuit, even at the expense of life. When you can survive, try your best to live. When death comes, choose to die with dignity. This is the glory of life. Even death is a tribute.
Atikt said, "I die free".
And Milo and Cassia, they died in the name of love.
This is the best way to die.
