What does the gladiator Massimos represent, the oppressed
What kind of person does Caesar, who killed his father and seized the throne, represent a person who, in the eyes of the former, "used illegitimate means" to obtain a high position
The Roman arena is actually a system, it is cruel and bloody, but gladiators can win the love of the audience through public killing and finally gain freedom. It's a crude nihilism, a group of seemingly hopeful people playing hopeless games. Most of them, just like the clerk, were smashed by the meteor hammer from nowhere. But why keep playing? Because they have no choice? No, at least most of them still expect to survive. Anyone who thinks this way is a loser. Anyone who fights for their own life will die sooner or later
Only Massimos didn't want to live for a long time, he was just a desperado, looking forward to meeting his wife and children on the other side, so he was the winner. To deal with the predicament of betting on life, only by giving up the desire for life can we break the situation.
