Gladiator's music

*I recommend to play the video below before reading this essay*



I have found the song of the year! That's it: "elysium", "honor him" and "now we are free". What do you feel when you hear them? freedom indeed. When we hear these songs automatically the first thought in our brain is the moving movie "Gladiator"; Russell Crowe played the leading role in an outstanding plot. Where a brave soldier, called Hispano, got the opportunity to be Cesar but he refused it because he was missing his family. Cesar's son wasn't able to be the main representative in the glorious empire of the moment, so he tried to kill the soldier but he couldn't so then he murdered Hispano's family. The poor man's life lost all his purpose, he had fought all this time just to meet another time his wife and his son, but he couldn't. He was taken by slave's traffickers and he survived, nothing else, only be alive. Since he recovered the desire to live: to murder his dear's murder. He fought as a slave and he won like a champion, he kept fighting to meet his challenge, instead of being hard, instead of being difficult, instead of his body injuries. Finally he could kill the son's Cesar, he didn't get a wood's sword with his freedom, he got a better prize, the freedom of his own soul. After all this time he could return with his family in his beautiful home place. 

Let me return to the songs, I don't know what my classmates feel this year but when we finish this course we will be as the soldier, free, our ways will be different. That's a bit what happens with the slaves in the film.  The first song "Elysium" when we can see in the video is preparation for the battle where you have to train very hard to be able to win the battle. As the movie shows the way will be long and not easy at all but it's necessary. You will have a hundred temptations to give up but you must keep fighting. In our case this way is obviously studying and doing our homework every day. Then the second song represents the fight in our case selectivity, the first important test in our young lives, it will mark us in a positive or negative way... Finally the last song, "we are free", easy to see the similarity, we are free!

So, I definetly have found the songs of second, but I don't want to finish like the soldier, I want to get the freedom but then I want to approach it.
