The scene that I like the most in Gladiator:
the time when Commodus ask Maximus to reveal himself and tell him his real name after the fight.
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Commodus trembles in disbelief after he heard this.
Praetorians point their spears at the gladiators while the Colosseum crowd chants for them to live.
Commodus then raises his fist and reluctantly gives the thumbs-up signal for not to kill Maximus.
The reason why I like this scene:
Maximus is courageous and brave enough to tell his name and his determination to revenge for his wife and son.
He also gained supports from the crowd by doing this.
And Commodus has to show mercy towards Maximus althought he is not willing to do so.
