Film Review of Gladiator Gladiator was set near the end of the twentieth century when the Roman Empire was at its peak. Maximus played a character who was the general of a large Roman army. 'Gladiator' starts with an introduction to the film where the audience see him brushing his hand slowly and calmly across and field of wheat. This does give the audience a sense of what he assumes is peaceful and tranquil. The screen does tell us a bit about Maximus and his personality which is that he has a soft side. The colours that are used are coinciding with the mood of Maximus. The director uses warm colours such as a rich yellow in the wheat which gives the feeling of ease and relaxation. This colour has other purposes as it shows the warmth and happiness. This scene has everything that would be desired by Maximus as he is the one thinking of it while in the situation he is in now. Music is a feature that is also used to add to the atmosphere of this scene and it is synchronistic to the theme of the scene. It is calm and smooth without any sudden changes in tone. The notes played are blended in together to make sure that it best suited for this type of setting. Abruptly this changes to an area where it looks cold. The trees in the background look lifeless and this gives impression of the time of year. But the main feature point of this is Maximuses face cold expressionless and still. He had his eyes closed and this tells the audience that what we had just seen was his imagination in a day dream state. The colours that are used are dark colours such as grey and black in the surroundings with the exception of white which is shown ... ... middle of paper ... ...and my family on you.' Sure enough Commodus takes this to surprise and is forced to keep him alive as the people of Rome favour him and if he did kill him then this would make him terribly unpopular among Rome. Maximus succeeds in taking his revenge upon Commenus but with a complication. Die with honour or live with pride. Throughout this film I had regarded my saying as to be quiet appropriate to Maximuses situation. Before Maximus is expected to fight Commenus he is confronted by Commenus and then stabbed with a dagger laced with poison to hinder his performance and try and make defeat inevitable. Though Maximus is injured physically he continues to fight with his heart. When fighting Commenus Maximus found it very difficult because of his recent injury but despite this wins the match with the cost of his life.
The movie “Glory” tells the history and the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. It became the first black regiment to fight for the North in the Civil War. The Regiment was made up of black soldiers – some were Northern freemen, some were escaped slaves. The leader was General Robert Gould Shaw, the son of Boston abolitionists. The men of the 54th Regiment proved themselves worthy of the freedom for which they fighting, and the respect of their fellow white soldiers.
Blades of Glory, directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, is a hilarious comedy that turns figure skating into one big joke. This movie was so over-the-top, it was over over-the-top, but it kept the whole theater laughing throughout the entire movie, which is exactly what it was made to do.
He concludes this his speech the same way that he began: with an argument of ethos that solidifies his loyalty to the good of his country, saying that he “slew my best lover for the good of Rome” and that he has “the same dagger for myself, when it shall please my country to need my death.” Essentially, His entire speech employs the appeals incredibly effectively in order to portray him as a loyal Roman hero rather than the killer that

Brutus murdered Caesar with honorable purpose so that the Roman people would not “die all slaves”, but “live [as] freemen” (117). Caesar’s death was believed to be in the best interest of Rome and a necessary loss to the empire. Brutus did not seek glory or power, but stability for Rome (unlike most of the conspirators). The Tragic Hero makes an ethical decision, in which the repercussion of his choice was the bringing forth of his own downfall. Brutus did not seek glory and power because he was dissatisfied with his life — he sought to protect the place he loved. He already held a noble status, and was married to a “true and honorable wife” (71). He had no need to stir up the empire and his own personal life, but he felt obligated to protect the country and i...

It has the same basic story idea, but has completely different characters. And although the characters end up being dull and seemingly useless, the movie is very fun and exciting to watch.
