It was a really bad day. I woke with my slave friends and our boss told us that we have big show today. You can’t never know when you die in fights. Yes I am Gladiator! I don’t want be but I have to fight or boss kill me. Yesterday I had to kill my best friend. It was the only way to stay alive.

   After little breakfast we went to training camp. There we fought with wood-swords and we also exercised our muscles. Then our guards took us at the stadium. I planed with my best friend Kuram to escape. We didn’t want to live this kind of life anymore. We agreed that we see after show and then we kill one guard and leave from the stadium.

   Then was time to fight. Boss called me to go at the “ring”. I was there waiting my opponent and then my nightmare happened. The  opponent was my friend  Kuram. Boss thrown us swords and yelled “KILL”. We had to fight. That was very shitty thing because I didn’t want kill my friend. I had to kill him and that really hurt me. After show I cried but then our boss came front of me and told “That was your last gladiator fight”. He let me free.

                        Waist Deep

Waist Deep is a action film, it tells about life in West Coast where two characters (02/Otis and Coco) are trying to avoid police, and committing bank robberies. Then drama starts, when 02’s son (Junior) has fallen into Meat’s hands. 02 must pay 100,00$ by midnight the following night, or Junior will die. Otis is trying to claim that he has no money, but the drug king Meat thinks otherwise, because Meat was once 02’s partner in crime, Meat thinks that 02 is still holding onto the 100,00$ they made off their last job together. It’s a very good movie.

Star Wars is not true and, in my view, at least for a little fantasy (?) It has made many movies, and yes I like Star Wars trilogy, although I am not very interested in how different people are fighting with light sabers. Stars in a war is, so to speak, a good and bright side, and also the dark and evil side, evil side of the head of the Devil Darth Vader, and the good side of a number of good types, such as Anakin sky walker. The film is to me to be very unusual, because there at any stage of life, no one could enter the fight with light sabers sure, it will be a nice fight. But I do not want to die. The movie it is good, but I am right in life would like this kind of space to be.

Most gladiators were recruited from the criminals who had lost their citizenship rights, as well as slaves and prisoners of war. However, some men, who did have their citizenship rights and were considered free-born, gave themselves up to the profession by swearing an oath to their master and gladiator troupe that they would endure  chains, flogging, or death by the sword.

There was only one law: Do or Die on One Versus One.

 

 

Gladiators fought swords, axes and took a horse competitions so that everyone would be able to prove that who is who. Gladiatorial games were not so wonderful, horses were driven, for example, a box around a few times, since that time there was no real contest rules. Some of them had swords, axes, nets, javelins, fire balls, they used all quite different weapons, weapons are countless.

They did not even have any clothes, it was perhaps the lingerie, but not at the time was there any protection or any other modern military goods.
