Gladiator

the Colosseum.

1:23:07

Oh, you should see
the Colosseum, Spaniard.

1:23:11

Fifty thousand Romans...

1:23:15

watching every movement
of your sword...

1:23:22

willing you to make
that killer blow.

1:23:26

The silence before you strike...

1:23:29

and the noise afterwards.

1:23:31

It rises.

1:23:34

It rises up like...

1:23:38

like a storm...

1:23:40

as if you were
the thunder god himself.

1:23:43

You were a gladiator?

1:23:45

Yes, I was.

1:23:55

You won your freedom?

1:23:57

A long time ago, the emperor...

1:24:02

presented me with a rudis.

1:24:05

It's just a wooden sword.

1:24:10

The symbol of your freedom.

1:24:15

He touched me on the shoulder,
and I was free.

1:24:21

You knew Marcus Aurelius?

1:24:23

I did not say I knew him. I said
he touched me on the shoulder once.

1:24:30

You asked me what I want.

1:24:34

I too, want to stand
in front of the emperor...

1:24:39

as you did.

1:24:41

Then listen to me.

1:24:43

Learn from me.

1:24:45

I wasn't the best
because I killed quickly.

1:24:51

I was the best
because the crowd loved me.

1:24:55

Win the crowd...

1:24:57

and you'll win your freedom.
