《勇气》英语演讲稿
this is a story about courage.
the brutality has such a mythical grandeur that it occasionally resembles beauty.
ultimately, gladiator is an honorable and inoffensive spectacle with nothing extraordinary to recommend it.
gladiator is a XX historical epic directed by ridley scott, starring russell crowe, joaquin phoenix,.maximus rises through the ranks of the gladiatorial arena to revenge the murder of his family and his emperor.historical epic.
the film was nominated for and won multiple awards; it won five
academy awards in the 73rd academy awards including best picture.
it gave me a big heart quake by its grand view and its lively characters. by the time maximus whispers his final words, assuring lucilla that lucius is safe, i'm moved by honor and justice. by the time juba is reverently burying maximus's totems of his wife and son, i'm. when i watched
gladiator, i'm struck by the quiet, ardent, even reverent heart at its core, one that beats for the love of family. it's a heart that beats true that makes gladiator so rousing.
“be brave, my friend; be strong, my friend; stick to your belief, my friend; stand to your principles, my friend”——just as he did. he, the former general of rome, the slaver later, and the gladiator dying for his dreams at last, implying a kind of strength that can make us always hold us heads up, never give up.
maximus, general of the armies of the north, wants nothing more than to go home to his spanish farm, to his wife and young son, after too many years fighting for the glory of the roman empire. he is loved by marcus aurelius, the aging emperor, who wishes maximus be his successor. this arouses his son commodus' anger when he heard about it. the power-hungry commodus kills his father and orders that maximus and his family should be executed. maximus manages to escape his assassination, and races home only to find that he was too late to save his family.
after burying them, maximus is found unconscious by slave traders and forced to fight for his life as a gladiator in arena. during this time, he gains notoriety through his impressive victories as a gladiator, ultimately reaching the historic roman colosseum. in his first event, he skillfully leads a band of gladiators to defeat an opposing force of chariots and archers, earning the crowd's praise through his heroics.
maximus later survives when he is forced into a match against tigris of gaul, rome's only undefeated gladiator. maximus avoids being killed by tigers released into the arena, which furthers commodus' frustration, as it seems he cannot kill maximus or stop his ascending popularity.
now desperate to have maximus killed, commodus arranges a duel with him in the arena. unknown to the crowd, commodus stabs maximus before they enter the arena.
with his dying words maximus carries out marcus ' commands, calling for the slaves to be freed, and power in rome to be transferred to the senate. lucilla reiterates his wishes, reminding
everyone that he was a soldier of rome and that his memory should be honored.
he lost his beloved wife and cute boy; he lost his authorities, but he won his glories, he won his battles, he won the respect forever, and he won himself.
powerful and loving family bonds provide the strength maximus needs to triumph here -- bonds between himself and his murdered wife and child, himself and the very concept of rome.
in my eyes, maximus is a hero, a real man with strong spirit and responsibility. he worth the honor people give him forever.
