Gladiator

Matthew Gladiator Boom! Clap! As the sound dissipates my head stops throbbing like a fish squirming on the ground. My vision gets clearer as I start getting my strength back. The dungeon that I'm in smells like a dumpster. Old victim’s skeletons draped across the floor. Dried blood smeared across the walls. Not the best room that I've been in but, it could be worse. I look down on my tattered clothes to see my hands chained with weights on them. My stomach is heaving for food. I couldn't…

Today I was able to attend the game between the lady Gladiators vs the Mission Pioneers. It was a great overall experience, because I don’t really go to my home town as much as I want to thanks to my hectic schedule, so it was a good experience. From the beginning of the game the lady gladiators seem to be overmatch real quick as they lost their first set 8 to 25. Coach Angie Garcia, try to motivate her team by giving them encouraging words to spark a fire in them. Me as an observer I can tell…

vast inaccuracies compared to the stories told by Julius Capitolinus and Aelius Lampridus. Although a fantastic film, there are a number of inaccuracies and archaisms. Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Commodus are the focal point of this film. The film gladiator portrays romantic versions of the Senate and antagonistic, more than usual, versions of the Emperor. There are flagrant misunderstanding of the Roman political climates and just how dirty they would play. Commodus's inelegant ascension is…

>Klaus may as well not be a hybrid, just an Original who has some neat-o mutation to heal those with werewolf bites. Exactly! To be honest though the wolves from Twilight actually look like they're capable of bringing down a vampire unlike the TVD/TO ones. The Twilight wolves are huge while the ones we have on TVD/TO look how you've described, like wolf-dogs. When Hayley turned into a wolf it actually annoyed me because I believe that we should've seen Klaus do something like that first…

people with different skills sets who compete in varies types of competitions. Not many of those people day would fit under the criteria of an athlete during the ancient times. In the text “Was the Roman Gladiator an Athlete? The author Heather L. Reid conveys the idea to the reader that gladiators should not be considered athletes because they purposely undermine the dignity and anatomy of its competitors for there own self worth. Sporting games in modern day attract huge crowds and draw…

Though rhyming with Terminator, Gladiator does not have the ambition to be a pure and simple action movie mechanic. In the spectacular, this is a form of poetry that is sought after. The poetry of the ghosts: Gladiator is a film of ghosts. There are three of them. The peplum, a genre deceived for ages. Ridley Scott, past filmmaker of fashion and who succeeds a surprising comeback. Maximus (Russell Crowe), finally, superb character and anti hero. This valiant general of the Roman army is a dead…

In Gladiator, it starts with a scenery of someone walking through a field after entering the Stone Gate. The same event occurs during Maximus’s death, profoundly hinting at some sort of symbolism with connection to his dead family. All of which represent the Roman conception of heaven, the Elysian fields. He envisions this while telling Commodus about his potential return home however, yet again his dreams were crushed. His attention to the next life coincides with the people of Rome seeing that…

I believe that the films, Ben Hur and Gladiator both portrays negative light. This is because both of the films sends us the same message that is Rome is going under corruption, leading to a violent place. In the film Ben Hur it shows us that there is negative light towards the Romans. The Romans are known as the masters more like the villain of the movie, treating the slaves poorly by beating them brutally and torturing them leading to death. These slaves are innocent people wanting peace and…

The Political Gladiators of Rome Civilizations throughout the world’s existence have worshiped the idea of men fighting one another, each clinging desperately for the slight chance of the most intense desire, victory. Rome is no exception. While Rome is famous for its competition amongst gladiators, it is also known for its competition amongst its political leaders. In the play, Julies Caesar, Shakespeare creates an intense scene that depicts one of the most important competitions in Rome’s…
