Gladiator Review

The movie in which i choose to review was Gladiator directed by Ridley Scott and produced by Steven Spielberg. Starring Russell Crowe. I picked this film to review because i love movies that portray actual historical personages and events from the Roman era. This film best represented that for me. Gladiator is set around 180 AD and is a fictional thriller with a little romance. While watching this movie or movies like gladiator it amazes me to see the types of things these gladiators had to go through and how they were able to remain positive even though there were enslaved and beaten everyday. It was just the hope that they could one day be free again and be with their families that kept them going. For example when Maximus( Russell Crowe) is fighting Tigris in the arena and is about to be killed, Maximus goes into a sort of day dream where he remembers and in visions his family and how they were taken from him and it suddenly gives him a sense of energy and passion that he used to kill Tigris! I loved the movies style. It wasn't just another two and a half hour thriller, it had a lot of sad moment also and was a movie that the viewer could watch and understand in several different ways. I loved this movie and have watched it around ten times in my life. I would sincerely recommend it to another person especially if you like movies based in the Roman era. I was entertained for the full two and a half hours and never get tired of this movie. Go Watch It!!!
