Gladiator Directed by Ridley Scott, it’s an epic historical tale of honor, love, loyalty and power. Russell Crowe plays the Roman General, Maximus, who heads the Roman Army in their conquers of Europe and Africa under the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Marcus wants Maximus to be his successor, not his weak son Commodus. Commodus murders his father when he realizes that he won’t be the inheritor of the throne. When a Roman General is betrayed, and his family murdered by an emperor's corrupt son, he comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge. Maximus is a hero for the people and Commodus is a snake. Only Maximus can give Rome back it’s freedom and let the Senate rule. At the end of movie Commodus challenges Maximus to a duel in the Colosseum. After a long fight, Maximus is killing him. Unfortunately he also dies from the wound of the fight.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies
of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor,
Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I
will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
