Interesting Movie Quotes

“Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next” The line was spoken by defamed Roman General Maximus to Commodus, the son of the Roman Emperor whom he himself killed. One of the best films depicting the triumphs and struggles of the civilization that was Rome it was dedicated to Oliver Reed (Proximo, the gladiator trainer who bought Maximus as a slave) who suffered a heart attack during filming. Sad as it may be, the long film had some authenticity as to the way people were met with ruthlessness during the time of the Romans who ruled half of the civilized world. Their having to deal with the many territories led to their downfall as with the movie it showed a respected and prominent Roman General turned slave then Gladiator with his family killed just so the son of the Emperor could take his place. “What we do in Life echoes in eternity” is another of the famous and respectable lines from the movie that reflects the deep belief of the Romans in the Gods of the time.
