"What we do in LIfe, echoes in Eternity"

Once again watched Gladiator on Home DVD after many years. It was a DVD that I had bought and didn't have time to unpack. The movie was gripping and heart rending as usual. Ridley Scott had really done it with this film. But the political tone of Black Hawk Down, which came after this movie, let me down. I didn't like it. Maybe Scott had no choice as it was an outright American military production.

One of the more memorable quotes from the movie:

"What we do in life, echoes in eternity" - Maximus to his men when they are about to launch their blitzkrieg on the Germania tribes.
