Gladiator/角斗士

The epic movie about the heroism of the Roman Empire would always lead to our worship to heros, the Colosseum in Rome was always the best location showing heroism.

In fact, from the very beginning of the movie when the junior emperor talked about the four virtues with his father in the tent, his destruction had been doomed. This was not because of the so-called virtues, but because of his lack of political wisdom. He was so short of political wisdom and had no political advantage except for his lineage, which however was not always reliable.

关于罗马帝国的英雄主义史诗影片总能引起我们对英雄的颂扬，罗马的斗兽场也成了展现英雄主义的最佳场所。

其实，从本片一开始，当二世祖皇帝在帐篷里和老皇帝谈起四种美德的时候，我们就知道他的毁灭已经注定了，这无关乎美德，而是他太缺乏政治智慧，除了血统之外再无政治筹码，而这并不是永远可靠的。
