For me, this film impresses me with the "sudden" resistance of Maximus in the face of being executed (compare the death of Nerd in Game of Thrones). In the face of bad luck, secretly accumulate strength and never yield (The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards, it rises. It rises up, like... like a storm.).
I have feelings for this because I think about myself: many times when I don't go well, I choose to loose myself in a very negative way. So, a "gladiator " would toughen up, instead of merely waiting for the turn of the tide. He would go for it. Period.
