Short filmTranscript
00:00I remember that day and never forgot it but a slave could take revenge against
00:09an emperor. Where were you born? I don't know. I never knew a mother nor a father.
00:17You will be my instrument. Who are you?
00:22Did you hear that crowd? The greatest temple Rome ever built. The Colosseum because this
00:35is what they believe in. Power. General Acacius. There are victories yet still to come.
00:52Rome has so many subjects. She must feed them. They can eat war.
01:02The arena turns slaves into gladiators. The gladiators into free men.
01:08You have something in you. I knew it from the start. Vigilão. Rage.
01:13Rage. And rage is your gift.
01:23This is about survival. Survive.
01:29Hold together and when it charges break for the wall.
01:31Whose head could I give you that would satisfy this fury? The entire Roman armies.
01:47Too much? The general will do.
01:53Rome must fall. I need only give it a push.
02:01All right, all right.
02:10This ring belonged to Maximus. Now I give it to you.
02:16What is the dream of Rome? That people are not free.
02:24I was only. Now I will control an empire.
02:28I will not waste another generation of young men for their vanity.
02:33Strength to none.
02:37This hour I will treat you to your own.
02:46The gods have spoken.
