Gladiator (2000). ★★★★★
This movie which starred Russell Crowe is a movie I could watch again and again.
For the record: Marcus Aurelius was not murdered by son his Commodus like in the movie and he did arrange for his son to succeed him as emperor. His son was a horrible character as the movie depicted and according to historical records he was killed by a gladiator. Before he was ultimatley disposed of, Commodus managed to outsmart and kill most of the people who opposed him. But in the end, the senators finally figured out a way to get rid of him!
The real history would have made for a good movie. Nevertheless, whoever wrote the movie script decided to take some “artistic license”.
Anyway! Who cares if the film was not historically accurate? It was a terrific movie!!
“Are you not entertained?”
Yes! Yes! I was very entertained. Best movie of the century!! 😊
