The wind blows, General Mai Langdi returns to his family after a hundred battles

The movie I watched a long time ago, the impression is as follows. Under the background of unknown music, a gentle voice hummed an unknown language, and in the tune of the family looking forward to your return home, the wind was blowing and the wheat waves were low, the generals returned from battle, and the family waited for a long time. The ending and the beginning echo (in another sense).

But there is really, really, really no conspiracy in it!

If you want to see the male protagonist show his strength, physical strength, and heroism, you can get it.

I want to count on the character of the villain to be three-dimensional and plump, why would it become bad,

Want to count on the intrigue of the main story criss-crossed,

Want to expect female characters to be plump and not single (either coquettish and seductive; or a good wife and mother, doing housework, raising children; it turns out that ancient and modern Chinese and foreign views on women are so dichotomous and materialized.)

Then you want too much. . .

Last but not least, it was a good movie. . .

    I always remember that Maximus slowly, gently and carefully traversed each long, green rice plant with his hands in the movie. In this scene, an inexplicable tenderness could suddenly surge in my heart. From the softness of the hand at dusk at the beginning of the film to the end of the film, Maximus pushed open the door of the Colosseum, and once again passed the hand of rice and wheat in the blue wilderness—each plant made a soft and lingering sound between his fingers, as if He is full of affection for every plant of rice and wheat.

Gladiator quotes

  • Gracchus: Fear and wonder, a powerful combination.

    Falco: You really think people are going to be seduced by that?

    Gracchus: I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it's the sand of the coliseum. He'll bring them death - and they will love him for it.

  • Gracchus: But the Senate IS the people, sire. Chosen from AMONG the people. To speak FOR the people.

    Commodus: I doubt if any of the people eat so well as you, Gracchus. Or have such splendid mistresses, Gaius.
