Gladiator (2000) - dir. Ridley Scott

“When I was an infant, my colic was never just colic. My colic was a disaster. An ill omen. The potential ruin of England. When I was a boy, refusal to eat my peas was the potential ruin of England. An incorrect sum at mathematics, the potential ruin of England. I have lived my entire life in terror of acting incorrectly because every incorrect action threatened the ruin of England. That terror nearly broke me. I found places to hide. My farms, my observatory. My madness. I thought that terror was the price of being royal. Now, I have met a woman who is never terrified. Who does as she pleases. Breaks rules, courts scandal. Commits unthinkable impertinences. And she is the most royal person I have ever known.” Corey Mylchreest as King George III in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023)
