Eternity - Gladiator

► How can I reward Rome's greatest General? Let Me Go Home.

Gladiator, a truly powerful movie that will be remembered for eternity. This movie hits very personally to me, and It ventures into a lot of philosophy which I study a lot. I wanted to make this video, to tell the story of Maximus while he fights through hardship in the era of Ancient Rome.

"Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Moderation." - The Four Stoic Virtues.
All are embodied in Maximus throughout this film.

Thank you all for watching, stay strong out there, and don't give up on the fight.

"What we do now, echoes in eternity" ~Marcus Aurelius

Ahhh when movies were good and about strong men that had values. Hollywood is a joke now

[BlackAngus]

Saw this movie at 10 years old. 33 now and it is still the greatest movie I've ever seen.

“Death smiles at us all, all we can do is smile back!” What a powerful quote!

[Vertno_]

“It is not death a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”

A wise man.

Magnificent montage. They just don’t make movies like this anymore.

[Tomara]

Excellent film... The most powerful men that I knew didn't seek power... It always came to them, even when they didn't want it.

"Your faults as a son, is my failure as a father." Damn that hits different, every single time. This is the best movie I have ever seen.

[truck]

That "Let me go home" always breaks me

"No man is crushed by misfortune unless he has first been deceived by prosperity"

If you want to show any film to your son. To show him what honour and principle means in a real man. This is his guide. A film that has everything to explain what it means to be a man.

What we do in life echoes in eternity...

[danielwrobel]

It sad that I can't watch this movie again for the first time. Always had a goosebumps when Russel says "I am Maximus Decimus Meridius...."

Heavenly Father I pray you keep the person that's reading this alive, safe, healthy and financially blessed. Amen

When I was going thru the hardest moment of my life, my father said to me: "Fight, son, fight, fight! Don't give up!" And I didn't gave up. So guys, if you get through some hard times, DON'T GIVE UP. They'll eventually pass. Don't. Give. Up!

1. "A MAN'S LIFE IS A WAR BETWEEN WHO HE IS, AND WHO HE WANTS TO BE”
2. "WHEN A MAN LACKS PURPOSE IN HIS LIFE, HE DISTRACTS HIMSELF WITH PLEASURE”
3. “WE MUST ALL SUFFER FROM ONE OF TWO PAINS: THE PAIN OF DISCIPLINE OR THE PAIN OF REGRET", CHOOSE WISELY
4. "CIRCUMSTANCES DON'T MAKE THE MAN, THEY ONLY REVEAL HIM TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS"
5. "WE CANNOT CHOOSE OUR EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE HOW WE RESPOND TO THEM"
6. "THE WORTH OF A MAN IS MEASURED BY THE WORTH OF WHAT HE VALUES"

"Ahhh Home...tell me about your Home."
I have that privilege to have a place like this. Having a home somewhere, is having a place to return, to sleep, it's an identity, doesn't have to be material, it's a place were you are safe.

“What we do in life, echoes in eternity.”
“Death smiles at us all, all a man can do, is smile back.”
“STRENGTH & HONOUR.”
"Now We Are Free..."

“Your fault as a son, is my failure as a father.” Wow.

[skylarstach]

when he grabs the dirt while the dog looks at him is my favorite clip. It really portrays his trust with mother nature and the dogs recognition. I believe that is the commonality between humans and animals, the connection and trust with the earth.
