QUOTE: Maximus: My name is Maximus Decimus
Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix
Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a
murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance,
in this life or the next.
THE STAKES: After Maximus has his entire life ripped from him by
Commodus, he faces him for the first time on the floor of the Colosseum.
Maximus’ entire existence and the existence of Rome hangs in the
balance.
THE RESULT: Maximus strikes fear into the heart of Commodus and gives
the Senate, as well as the Roman people, hope that the dream of Rome
will one day return.
WHY IT’S MANLY: Defying an evil, unworthy emperor who is driving the
world’s greatest empire into the toilet is always manly. Plus, Maximus’
line pulls off the triple crown of revealing that he’s alive, that he’s
furious, and that he’ll have his revenge, in this life or the next.
