if you ever think I’m exaggerating how much I cry at the end of Gladiator every time I see it, just know that I used up two washcloths last night during the fifteen minutes it took me to get my composure after the movie ended

#i spend three hours with my beloved and then i have to watch him die 🥺#it’s a gut punch every time #my beautiful beautiful wonderful man #there will never be another like him #last night i was rewatching gladiator and somehow it pulled me in even more than usual #it was like i was seeing some scenes over again for the first time #maximus makes me sob every time #the way he mourns his family through the whole movie just. guts me #his quiet sorrow and grief and agony #and they sheer skill of his fighting abilities #loved watching him just demolish all his enemies honestly #the battle the gladiator matches the final duel everything #the final duel is everything to me because it’s so short #i love that they didn’t drag it out to make it more dramatic #even when maximus is wounded he’s still the expert fighter and commodus never had a chance #maximus is literally bleeding to death and gasping for air and also just. throwing commodus around like a rag doll #my man is STRONG. he’s so determined #i spent the whole movie just yearning to gather him up in my arms #i want to hold him so much i just #i want to comfort and treasure and adore him #sometimes i wonder if i’ll ever be able to get through gladiator without sobbing #like if maximus will ever become less dear to me #and so far the answer is never in a thousand years #how could i ever stop loving the only good man?? the best and greatest man???#gladiator #maximus #maximus decimus meridius #gladiator 2000 #russell crowe #text posts
