The Gladiator
The Gladiator is a fantastically
filmed movie. There are not many gladiator movies or roman movies that can compare
to this one because it`s not just one very buff very strong guy slashing
throats and killing people it has a very good back story that makes want to
know more about our Gladiator. I have probably watched this movie about 17
times and 17 times over, I just can’t get enough. It`s just to incredible.
This story is about a
man named general Maximus Decimus Meridus who leads the very powerful roman
army to a decisive victory against Germanic. Ending a long war. This pleases
the emperor who is very close with Maximus. Though the emperor has a son he
grants Maximus temporary leadership over Rome. His son envies this and kills
his father giving the throne to him. Maximus finds out what he has done and
tires to tell but is betrayed by his own soldiers. The son Commodus orders
Maximus and his family to be executed, Max escapes, and goes back to his homeland,
but to only find his wife and son dead.
After putting them to
rest he is found unconscious and awakens is a small village in north Africa. When
he gets there he must become a gladiator, being the best he fights his way fight
after fight in the arena. Hiding his face buy a mask Commodus –who watches all
the fights- still does not know it is Maximus. Finding out that his army is still
loyal to him he plots to free the slaves and bring back order to Rome. After having
completing that, Maximus dies and joins his family in the heavens.
You give amazing reviews, and your explanation of the movie is really good. Great job !
