People like Maximus are few but around us.... you can feel their aura, their charisma, their presence. You can pretend to boss and lord over them but they're natural born leaders and you will soon start respecting, be in awe and follow them. There's nothing you can do like Proximo here. Just look at his regard and respect for Maximus here, treating him with command presence and doting on him.

It's amazing to see how they think differently. Proximus accept the harsh reality while Maximus can't see the facts and he is stubborn. We know if that would've happened in real life Maximus would've being dead from his stubbornness.

@@josephp8815Maximus isn’t stubborn, he is simply lamenting how Rome was supposed to he the light of the world, a beacon of institution and accomplishment, which it was on the path to become under Marcus Aurelius. Instead, Commodus was appealing to the people’s most base instincts with murderous games. He believed Rome (and the Roman people) was better than that, and in the end, he was right.

@@josephp8815 I don’t think he’s fighting against reality so much as working towards enacting a different reality. All great strides of progress were once just ideas or fantasies in their creator’s mind. Woman couldn’t vote once upon a time. Slavery was once legal. The people who broke through those barriers didn’t do it by accepting the world as it was, but rather by fighting for what they wanted. Maximus is not only a warrior in the coliseum, but also as he fights to restore Rome’s dignity. Proximo cares about money and that’s about it, so it makes sense he wouldn’t distract himself with petty things like ideas and honor, but even he comes around at the end of his life, when he sacrifices himself so that Maximus can escape and (hopefully) return with his army to overthrow Commodus. At the end of his life, proximo sheds his greed, practicality, and pessimism so that Maximus can bring about a new reality.

I think Proximus smiled at Maximus because he wasn't able to accept Rome's crude reality. He wasn't able to accept life in life terms.

The line actually comes from Marcus Aurelius’s book The Meditations. In it he explains that the human body is but mere shadows and dust in comparison to him (the Devine), and that what truly lasts forever is our deeds. It’s a good read and I highly recommend it.
