"Gladiator", this is a movie that all men should see, especially in today's world of pseudo-girls. What is a true hero, what is a man's tenderness, and what is a man's responsibility.

The true hero

was once the soldiers cheered him, and now the audience shouts for him. His home was destroyed, his wife and children were killed, and the tragic fate of being reduced to a gladiator made the ancient Roman general Max Simmons bear the burden of humiliation. Carrying too much hatred, he completed the challenge of surpassing himself with perseverance and faith. When a person is faced with a desperate situation, he often bursts out with the strongest desire to survive, and those who fall into the abyss without recovery are destined to be abandoned by history. There is no doubt that the hero Max Simmons, the most perfect man I have ever seen except for the brave heart of William Wallace, knocked down his opponents again and again in adversity, just as he once fought bravely on the battlefield, Climbed from the bottom of the valley to the top. A hero is a hero because of his outstanding mind, extraordinary strength, and tough and kind heart.

The hero's tenderness

When the hero also has tenderness, the ferocity towards the enemy becomes invisible when facing his wife and children. The hand stroking over the wheat ears in his hometown allows us to see another side of him. That is the love of a father for his wife, for his children. Until his death, Max Simmons still thought about his wife. After completing his mission, he was finally able to go to heaven to meet with the person he loves the most. It is Max Simmons' belief to avenge his family, and it is love that underpins his belief.

Responsibility

There is a story of Goujian, the king of Yue in ancient China. The same goes for hero Mark Simmons. After barely escaping the catastrophe, the cruel arena has become a step for him to regain his honor step by step. Every appearance is a test of life and death, and his responsibility is to punish the aloof murderer. He did the seemingly impossible task. He knew he couldn't go down until the mission was done. At the time of crisis, he showed his true character as a hero. In the end, Max Simmons defeated the emperor in an extremely unfair contest against himself, won endless honor and dignity, and then fell.

If I can't choose how to be born in this world, then let me choose to die in my own way. A man who died for justice, for honor, died well.
