For the Roman Republic, leave a smile to death-"Gladiator"

Glory belongs to Greece, and greatness belongs to Rome.



Not living in the same era as heroes, an era without heroes, is our misfortune. In the movie, we can relive the dream of a hero. Look at the heroes who stand up to the ground, devote their lives for the noble value, the tragic spirit, the mighty spirit will last forever. There is always a spirit for you to face all dangers, as Massimos said: "Death smiles on everyone, and you smile in return." In a mediocre life, there will be a moment, Let you go beyond, moved once.





Ruthlessness may not necessarily be true heroes, all great heroes are great love cherished in their hearts. At the beginning of the movie, General Massimos strokes the golden wheat waves. The general returns for ten years. The prosperous Roman Empire will usher in the last stop before peace. The general will also see his wife and children again, and the old king will rule the empire. The responsibility was given to the general, but he aroused the jealousy of his own son. Commodeus is a treacherous king with a complicated heart. He is not affirmed by his father and lacks maternal love. The only person he loves is his own sister, but his sister loves Massimos, and his throne was given to someone else. , Even the little nephew worships his enemy. Ambition burned more vigorously in jealousy. He killed his father and took the throne, killed Massimos’s wife and children. The outstanding general became a slave, and he turned from a slave to a gladiator, in the bloody and cruel Colosseum. Fight for revenge, and there is a Roman republic, the dream of people’s freedom. He returned to the Roman arena, "He who wins the hearts of the people will win freedom." The traitorous king only wants to prove himself in the arena. When the hero completes his revenge, he also falls to the ground. The sad music plays and we watch the hero. Far away...



it seems like this, not all sacrifices are valuable, only one, for the noble and valuable, the film chooses the moment when Rome transforms from an autocratic empire to a republic, and the heroes who defend the Roman republic can Inspire people's recognition of universal values ​​today. Have a perspective that contemporary people can understand.



The tragic and majesty to die for the lofty is the glorious destiny of heroes. There is such a person who is destined to become a spirit to benefit the common people and inspire future generations. We respectfully call them "heroes." Hans Zimmer made an excellent theme song for this movie, "Now We Are Free", which is like an elegy for sacrificing heroes. In heaven, he can finally meet his wife and children again. Goodbye. The ideals of republic have been manifested, and the happiness and well-being of the people are protected.


I witnessed the glory of the Roman Empire in the lens of the movie.






I like this "Gladiator" and the great heroes in these epics. Those great achievements are cherished by the world and settled in their hearts. They are honor, courage and lofty thirst, which will be passed down by word of mouth forever... ····

    In the slave society, the bravery of gladiatorial fighting really should not be promoted, I look unhappy. But the bravery of slaves stems from the available freedom, which is really a paradox.

    [2009.09.02]Extremely extended version... I have seen it before, but I have almost no impression. I thought I hadn't finished it, but when I saw it, I found an impression. Is it an impression or no impression? After reading this time, I still don’t have a deep impression. This plot is too ridiculous...
