Wake Up With Maximus Decimus Meridius "Echoes In Eternity" Speech
Fratres! Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line. Stay with me. If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead! [The soldiers laugh] Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity.
8 year old me watching this movie:
Giphy Images.
In a movie full of great quotes, this speech is maybe my favorite. Every I see something from this movie, though, I immediately remember how a second Gladiator movie was thought up, and still might actually happen. Just spend today thankful that it still doesn't exist.
