HOA Gladiator_HFY

My favorite scene of Gladiator is when Maximus and Commodus was fighting, Commodus produced the hidden stiletto to kill Maximus, but finally he was killed because Maximus plunged the blade deep into his throat. This scene show Maximus's brave and persist to gain his self-respect and his revenge to the murder of his family and his Emperor. From his brave to live along with the suffer of his family and emperor's death and finally won Commodus in the gladiatorial arena, he is a hero that deserved people's admire and respect.

Favorite scene from movie "Gladiator" By NCG

Extract from movie "Gladiator", 2000
"Maximus The Merciful"


My favorite scene is the scene where he is declared "Maximus the Merciful" by the crowed. The reason that I choose this scene is because regardless from increasing popularity and further frustration of Commodus from that scene, I find that this moment is where he showed compassion and  forgiveness as a leader, as well as a survivor. It was noble and mercy where he willing to put down his self-pride, lower himself as a normal human being and finally spare his enemy. Such quality should be reflected to everyone in our world nowadays which is very rare to find.

Favorite scene from movie "Gladiator" By TWT

Extracted from movie "Gladiator" at 2000.
Famous quote: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridus, commander of the armies of the North; general of 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."

In my opinion, my favorite scene from movie "Gladiator" 2000 will be the scene where he forced to review the truth identity of himself and he pledged to seek vengeance for his dead wife and dead son. I like this particular scene the most because it showed the best two quality of him which were fearless and loyalty during his conversation when he reviewed himself. His bravery and loyalty had touched the crowd and voted to spare his life. It was the most amazing and touching moment of mine personal opinion throughout the whole movie.

My favorite scene of Gladiator would be half-way through the movie when Maximus united the group in a defensive force in order to fight the highly outnumbered Carthaginians who had horses and carriages. Maximus and his group won the battle and the crowd's applause. I like this scene because it shows that the unity of people will lead them to achieve success. One can never stand alone to fight against the huge force. It takes courages, trust and unity to defeat the enemy, especially when the enemy is in a better condition either in size, power or the number. It is difficult to defeat the enemy in such condition, however, with the courage from Maximus to stay and fight together, the men managed to win the battle.

I have chosen this scene to be the scene I love the most because this scene is when the General Maximus Decimus Meridius fought and won the tournament with other gladiators. He success to gather all gladiators and had teamwork together for protecting themselves during the tournament in the Arena. They won from being killed in the tournament, and as you can see General Maximus is putting his hand up high to show victory. Since then, he is declared "Maximus the Merciful" by the crowd, increasing his popularity and further frustrating Commodus, who cannot kill Maximus without making him a martyr.

In Gladiator, victorious general Maximus Decimus Meridias has been named keeper of Rome and its empire by dying emperor Marcus Aurelius, so that rule might pass from the Caesars back to the people and Senate. Marcus' neglected and power-hungry son, Commodus, has other ideas, however. Escaping an ordered execution, Maximus hurries back to his home in Spain, too late to save his wife and son from the same order. Taken into slavery and trained as a gladiator by Proximo, Maximus lives only that he might someday take his revenge and fulfill the dying wish of his emperor. The time soon comes when Proximo's troupe is called to Rome to participate in a marathon of gladiator games held at the behest of the new emperor, Commodus. Once in Rome, Maximus wastes no time in making his presence known, and is soon involved in a plot to overthrow the emperor with his former-love Lucilla, Commodus' sister, after whom he lusts, and also the widowed mother of Lucius, heir to the empire after his uncle, and democratic-minded senator, Gracchus. In this movie, I like this scene is because the main character was showing his brave when fighting with his opponent. Besides that, Russel Crowe has describe this gladiator character successfully, and it also show that how a gladiator versus their opponent with a bad condition.
