My favourite scene from the movie 'Gladiator'

It would have to be the grand finale. All the emotions and vengeance at its peak, it was just 'BOOMZ!'. Though I was deeply crushed when Maximus didn't get to succeed in his escape plan, the suspense kept me watching. The strong character in him really encourages people to live out the best in them and fight for what and who they love most. Maximus had every reason to give up his fight. Still, at the last battle, wounded beforehand, his true courage was shown. He was strong because his faith gave him strength. Emotionally, that was what kept him pushing forward and got him his victory. As he took his last breath, he can rest knowing that he had not fought in vain. For his country, for his emperor, for his family, those were the reasons why he could surrender his life so completely for the arena and battlefield.

Strength and Honour!
