He finally met the person he was thinking of, right? The advocacy of violence seems to be engraved in the bones of human beings. People cheered for the victory of wars and the fighting of the gladiators, completely ignoring the killings brought by war, fighting and fighting. Aurelius, the blood stained in the animal farm, said that in the 20 years of war, there were only four years of peace, and Maximus only longed to go home, to return to the paradise with crops, wife and children. They are the same kind of people who are tired of war and yearn for peace. Aurelius fought dictatorships all his life, and he hopes to be located in Maximus not only because he knows his son knows that he cannot become a monarch, but more importantly, he knows that Maximus will bring peace to Rome.
Commodus, the villain in the film is a bit pathetic in my opinion. He seems to be living in constant fear of losing the love of his father and sister, which also makes him gradually twisted and eventually brutally kills his own father when he learns that his father is going to hand over power to Maximus.
And the protagonist of the film, Maximus, can't help but wonder, is it the hero that makes the current situation or the situation makes the hero. From beginning to end, his wish was simple and simple, to go home after the war, but he was involved in the center of the power struggle, and the place in his heart was no longer the Garden of Eden. At the end of the film, he still fulfilled Aurelius' last wish, but all this seemed to be pushing him forward. If he hadn't reopened the Colosseum, would he have been able to return to that place?
The wheat is ripe...
