Some Legends are Written In Blood

"Some legends are written in blood" a phrase that was once true during the Roman Empire and soon just a mere quote for the modern world. Spartacus, a character that is of justice and truth. A loyal and loving husband and a man of honor. This character has moved me to many sleepless nights to complete the entire series of "Spartacus" season 1.

Unlike many other series like Heroes, Sex and the City and the all time famous Friends. Spartacus is a series that has been a story told that relates to our world today. Even its time was during the Roman empire, where Gladiators was the main sport and entertainment. It does relates to us closely. During the roman times, there were masters, slaves and levels of status in society. Just like us here in the modern world, we are all gladiators or our mastered skills.

Like every gladiator before, some masters of the swords, some the spear, nets and hammers. It applies just on our mastery of out job and education, like lawyers, doctors, engineers, designers and so fort. These are our main skill thats helps up to battle out in the world to survive. The world is our arena and instead of spilling blood on sand, we work with ideas and creativity to climb up the leader and to be the champion.

The series showed much of a reality rather than a world that everybody dream to live in, like every living society and community there are people with ways and intention to raise to a higher status and some just to reach a certain goal. In the movie it portrays the dominus wanting to achieve power and domination over the empire that he would use his people to kill and to dominate, yet leaving his hands free from blood. Whereas coming back to reality of a recent time is just the same as corruption and power greed, where scandals are created to bring someone down and cover up of stories from the eyes of society.

You may think that I am talking nonsense by making a typical series to mean such relationship to us today, but after spending the many quite moments watching the movie and having time to think it through my mind, this what I have come to realise. That no matter how has time evolved and technologies advances, the pattern of mankind living as a community can never been erased. What corruption, or crime and unjust actions that were lurking among men for the pass 2000 years is still lurking at this very moment. May it be the new era of the 21st century thing has not much change.

With this, I shall end and do catch this great series on Cinemax or head down to your local DVD stall and get yourself a copy for the uncensored version if your living in Malaysia.
