I wrote this on the Blackboard today. I asked the kids to recall a line that had stuck in their heads that meant something to them from a movie they had seen. I get ' Hasta la Vista Baby !' from Arnie's The Terminator and 'May the Force be with You' and Darth Vader's 'I am your Father 'from Star Wars and 'This is Sparta!' from The 300 & "My name is Bond, James Bond' & from ET 'Phone Home' & ' I will not die because of you , i will die to save Scotland' from Braveheart.
I wrote up Maximus's famous line to his Roman troops from the beginning of Gladiator or El Gladiador as it is spelt in Spanish. (thanks be to girl in Blockbuster who found me the DVD from which i will be teaching scene structure next week)
" What we do in Life Echoes in Eternity!" If these kids could only get the significance of that speech, In Europe I wrap a whole Leadership Retreat for business executives around those words.
