"Gladiator" is an action film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe, Jackie Phoenix, Connie Nelson and others. It was released in the United States on May 1, 2000. The film tells the story of Commodore ordered the killing of Maximus's wife and children after successfully usurping the throne, and then Maximus launched a life-and-death duel in the arena for revenge. In 2001, the film won the 73rd Oscar Award for Best Film.
In "Gladiator", whether it is the fighting of the army in the forest or the fierce gladiatorial scene, it is given the resurrection of the digital age. The director used clever lens framing to show the magnificent war scenes, and the shooting of the war scenes between the Germanic tribes and the Roman legions was spectacular and lifelike. The roaring Roman cavalry, the black armored infantry, the rocket fired by the bow and arrow, and the burning forest, these visually impactful images make the cold weapon war scene of this movie a classic.
Massimos, a former Roman general, a slave, and a gladiator. What a real man should look like at home and abroad. He didn't live it to anyone, he just "lived with dignity." Although Massimos is desperate, he still has dignity. He still remembers that his ancestors taught "to live with dignity." Gritting his teeth and living with dignity.
Maximus: Death has been smiling at us, and the only thing we can do is smile back.
Original English: Maximus: I knew a man who once said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."
