The Gadiator

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2015)

In the world many people envy each other through the gain for power and fame much like the movie the "Gladiator". In this movie a well known and respected General by the name of Maximus, was appointed the next heir of the Roman Empire by the Ceasar Marcus Aurelius while on his deathbed. Marcus Aurelius son, Commodus became so angry that he was not chosen. Commodus then killed his Father and appointed himself King. Commodus sent furious soldiers to capture Maximus and kill his family but before he could save his family they died. He was captured by slave owners and forced to fight in the Gladiator games for his freedom. Maximus did not care about becoming the next Gladiator he wanted to reach the top to face the King so he could let the world know who killed the former Marcus Aurelius and gain his honor before death.
The "Gladiator" shared with us the struggle one went through when losing everything and fighting to prove something in hope to gain everything. Maximus had few loved ones and lost it all because of the betrayal of someone that was his friend but envied until death. Maximus faced a struggle to fight in the Gladiator games but continued to prove himself in this movie by display humility and taking the stand to fight for something and proving what was righteous. Maximus rose to the top and showed the world who was wrong all the way to his death. This movie was such a great movie and displayed a lot of moral and ethics to show how patience and determination can lead you to do the right things and envy plus murder for the want of power can cause you your life. I really love this movie it is by far my favorite classical Ancient Greek Movie. I watch this movie every time it's is on cable no matter the repetition or if it is in the middle of the story. I believe every inch of this movie is worth seeing and I give it a 10!
