- A movie that I watched a few years ago called Gladiator is a very interesting movie that has numerous plotlines, betrayals, and corruption in the roman empire. The movie talks about a Roman general who fought under the old emperor till the son of the emperor killed his father and took his place, sending the roman general to death. However, he escapes to go see his family, only to find out that they were murdered. He was captured and enslaved to fight in the pit as a gladiator to survive to seek his revenge on the new emperor. There are many more plots in the movie you might not see it the first time when you watch it but after reading chapter 6 and re-watching the movie, at the end of the movie he had a one on one fight with the emperor, in which he stabs him in the rib and tells his men to hide the wound. While there was fighting, the Gladiator had the upper hand even though he was wounded the emperor told he’s men to give him the sword, but they all refused to give it to him. In the end, the both died the emperor by the blade of the roman general that he tried to kill, and the Gladiator succumbed to his wound.
2. I agree with cullers idea that narrative and stories give the reader many types of emotion, entertainment, and imagination. There are many different ways to create stories: from a book of a murderer mystery, in which you are trying to solve while you are analyzing the clues, or a movie of betrayal and manipulation with a lot of plot twists. Even in many types of video games, that often tell a tale of an event of a world that is created by the author to tell a story of each of the charters that you meet or are up against each other. In many different types of ways that the author is trying to bring the reader into their world to understand the plot in their stories. In many ways they are trying to bring the reader, gamer, and the people who are watching the movie to vicariously experience a thought that they are trying to portray what the author the see in his vision.
