Galdiator
Imagine brutal sword fights equipped with severed limbs, decapitated bodies, men doing anything to kill their opponents, gruesome deaths, and one man caught in the middle. The movie Gladiator consists of all these traits. Gladiator was produced by Douglas Wick, directed by Ridely Scott and starred Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe plays a character named Maximus Desimus Meridius, the general of the Roman Empire army. The movie begins with a war Maximus has just won. The Emperor of Rome, who is dying, shows up at the battle scene to congratulate Maximus on his victory and plans to give the empire to Maximus, not to his son Commodus. In anger and jealousy Commodus, the Emperor's son, kills his father, declares himself Emperor, and orders Maximus and his family to be killed. Maximus escapes but it is too late for his family. Maximus is then captured by slave owners and forced into slavery. As a slave, he has to fight as a gladiator in an arena for his life. As Maximus becomes more popular he goes to Rome as a gladiator, but he really goes to Rome to meet Commodus where he can avenge his family and overthrow Commodus. It comes down to a final battle, where Maximus kills Commodus, but also dies in doing so. Maximus is an interesting chara
At this point Commodus is furious. He enters the battle, swings his sword a couple times, as if it is an everyday job for him, and begins to slay his enemy. At this point Commodus knows that Maximus is back to kill him. The battle is soon over and Maximus, the fearless leader that he is, raises his sword in the air and screams. Each swing with the heavy, sharp sword comes closer and closer to each gladiator. He and his horse ride into battle with their heads high, almost as if he enjoys war. However, Maximus pays no mind to the vicious moment, for he is so caught up in the moment he grabs one of his own soldiers and accidentally is about to stab him, but he stops himself, laughs, and goes back to war. Since the tigers are only able to reach Maximus, one of them grabs him and is about to rip him to pieces. Maximus convinces all the other gladiators to fight together and they will have a chance to win. He wouldn't have won battle after battle if he weren't the best swordsman of his time. I never thought I could pick a character from any movie, and say, he is my favorite character of all time, but Maximus Desimus Meridius is my favorite character of all time. The battle is short but difficult, Maximus leads the gladiators into victory, and is greatly respected because of his leadership skills. To make Commodus look foolish Maximus allows his opponent to live. One can see in Maximus' eyes that he is satisfied with his vengeance. When fighting in the arena at Rome Maximus and the other gladiators were given one shield and one spear.
