Jouny, a hero of the country, was released on: 2010-12-26 20:34.
Now the viva la vida of coldplay is played in the speakers. When I first listened to this song, it was conveyed by the song. The spirit is shocked and I like it very much. Although the tepid voice at home doesn't particularly make me like it, it's good to interpret this song. When I saw the end of [Gladiator], I hummed the song unconsciously. Now I look at the lyrics. There are many similarities. The same majestic songs and movies have been separated by so long time and space. Unconsciously fit. Maybe this kind of heroic breath is interlinked.
The film wants to talk about the history of a country, but chooses to tell it from the perspective of a character. The director is very clever. Choosing this weight is so important that it can support a film to support a country's people. This is the first historical film I have watched, and it is also my favorite among all biopics I have watched. Because it was only this year that I came into contact with the film industry, I have a lot of misunderstandings about Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe. Their Robin Hood this year has brought regrets to many people who like them, and also brought me deep misunderstandings. Russell Crowe's body gradually became blessed, showing an old state, not as good as himself ten years ago. I once laughed at them, but I didn't expect them to be such a glorious one, creating such a heroic image for film history.
The download is the director’s cut version, which is 14 minutes longer than the theater version when it was released, but I don’t know what has been added without comparison. It should be that the producer cut out those segments that portray the character's psychology that seem to affect the overall viewing experience for the sake of the film's box office. Fortunately, I watched the director's cut version, although after watching this film, I didn't have the same feelings, excitement, thrills or other things like other blockbusters. (The blockbuster mentioned here is not a commercial box office masterpiece, but a film with a powerful aura that creates a new world. It is like the real dream of [Pirates of Dreams].) But perhaps such a huge epic film is originally It's not to give the audience a simple excitement.
Now it is not very important to explore the authenticity of the characters' stories told in the film. From the perspective of the plot alone, it is not particularly exciting. There are not too many upsetting and complicated conspiracies. It is the story of great people under a huge empire. Perhaps it is because it is simple that it is really close to history, or because the character is already great enough, no other things are needed to set off him, but he alone gives the whole story a soul. The director reproduces history not only to tell a good story that is not too difficult, but to make such a hero not just a brave fighter who can fight and kill. What he needs is a great hero and a great. s country.
He was once a man who was only inferior to Emperor Caesar, and then became a lowly slave. But the temperament of a hero who is downright will not change with the change of his identity. He is as proud as everyone who challenges him to demonstrate his inviolability and greatness. Such a great man ultimately wants to save the country, because all his subjects will obey him sincerely, and this country needs him.
Such a hero is also contradictory. He can save this country, but he also looks forward to his own family in his heart. He needs to make a choice, but the cruel thing is that before he has time to choose in the future, history has already chosen him. Just like what people said: the times make heroes. He was destined to become a hero, so history directly eliminated his other choice, leaving him only one way to go.
Finally, he completed his mission, liberated the people under the Roman Empire, and established the Roman Republic, like a line in the film: "An ideal Rome can finally be realized." This is history. However, about his dream of being alone, he can finally meet his relatives after falling down.
Such a role is destined to be known to the world, destined to be remembered by shadow history, and remembered by history.


I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never , never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
