Personas on Maximus

The previous movie we watched was named "Gladiator". An epic historical film directed by Ridley Scott made in 2000. Maxiumus the main character in the movie murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus rises through the position in the hierarchy of the gladiatorial arena to repay the murder of his family and emperor. While watching throughout the movie Maximus's public and personal persona are not excatly alike. As is everyone else on this world. Maximus is seen in his public persona as a tough guy, "beast", a fighter, undefeatable, and an courageous male but in reality that is who he has to be seen as outside his personal life. In Maximus's personal life he is seen as caring, sympathetic, soft-hearted, and understanding just like everyone else. Everyone has 2 different sides they show it just depeends how you approach them or how you make your first impression. If you come up to someone in a rude tone and cocky then what are the outcomes of their responce towards you? Obviously rude and not polite but if you approach someone in a soft tone, shake their hand, and ask them how they're day is going while intoducing yourself your gonna get a better responce and possibly become friends. In Maximus's perspective his job as an competant ruler is to defeat people while being "entertaining" but when coming home to his family and peers he is not what you see while he entertains. He doesn't slay his wife, child, friend or family if he gets frustrated, he doesn't LOVE to slay or kill people, it wasn't his choice to become the next emperor. What if he doesn't like his job? In the end of the day it wasn't his choice to become what he is now it is just passed  on in the family because it is a rule kings and queens have had for centuries.
