stabbing and twisting a rusted metal pitchfork into my ribcage would be less painful than having to watch Maximus die
#the last ten minutes of gladiator turns me into the human equivalent of a banshee#it’s just. it’s just torment#to watch the man i love die so painfully#he fights SO HARD#he’s been so honorable and good and noble throughout the story#he’s kept his dignity even as he’s fallen so far#he’s found redemption not only for himself but for rome and marcus aurelius#he’s kept lucius and lucilla safe#he’s freed the other gladiators and probably helped end the gladiatorial games#he’s brought rome back to what it should be#and now? he can do what he wants to do#he can go home to his family#MAXIMUS EVERY STAR IN THE SKY SHINES FOR YOU ALONE MY LOVE#oh to be the one waiting for him on the other side 😭😭😭#oh to be the one who runs to him with open arms#the one he weeps out of joy to see again#the one he sweeps up into his arms to carry into our home and never be parted again#oh maximus how my heart longs for you and your sweet love#how it devastates me to see you die#when i tell y’all. i wear black the day after i watch gladiator#because i’m a grieving widow yearning for my beloved husband#if he died in my arms i would simply die too#no questions asked i’m going to the secret gardens of elysium to be with my beloved#and if i had to be the one to die? i’d want to die in his arms#gladiator#maximus#maximus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe#text posts
