"Gladiator"

Next movie by Ridley Scott. The story is set in antiquity. The title gladiator, Maximus is a Spanish warrior. He always fights for his emperor- Mark Aurelius. He's great warrior but also wants to be back home, in Spain with his family. Unfortunately the emperor wants to make him his successor. When Kommodus (Mark Aurelius’s son) hears about that he killed his father.
Maximus has to get away but the Kommodud’d army catches him and try to kill him. Young commander runs away to his home. Unfortunately his family is already dead. Desolate, Maximus gets to gladiator’s colony which goes to Rome.
That’s where his career as a gladiator starts. He can’t forget family and what Kommodus did for him. As a great warrior he kills everybody and wins the respect of people. From that moment, they call him- Spanish.
In a short time Kommodus finds out about him and wants to meet him. In the Colloseum’s area he discovers Maximus. He’s angry and tries to kill him again. Next day, they both meet in Colloseum and fight together. Both die.
Beautiful story about an honour, brave and devotion. But the best thing in film is music! It makes you cry and it excellent shows the atmosphere of situations.
