Kenneth Tappan-Gladiator

One movie that i have always enjoyed would have to be the movie Gladiator. I believe this movie has tremendous religous qualities to it. The main one being about life's journey towards death. In the very begining of the movie maximus is walking slowly in a field ready for the harvest. This image is re-occuring throughout the movie. Later on we find out that this image is Maximus's heaven and that he has been working to reach it his whole life. This movie makes the viewer aware of their own mortality and it shows that ever since we were born, we are working our way towards death. Some reach it faster, some reach it slower, but we all end there. This movie also shows that death should not be feared, becuase it is natural and we must all face it someday.
