How can you compare this to Traffic?

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2001)

As for the Oscars, and the whole debate on which is the better movie...
Okay... Traffic was hardly even a movie. It was a mistake from the
start. Gladiator was well-orchestrated. Steven Soderbergh botched a
roll of film, which cost the studio a ton of money and days of reshoots.
Traffic: 1 acting nom. (Supporting) Gladiator: 2 Acting Noms. (Lead, Supporting)
Q:Where's Michael Douglas' nomination? A:Maybe someone actually recognized the fact that he wasn't even
acting...
He's a great actor, but that doesn't mean that any film he's in a is
good.
Gladiator was far superior, even if it is the "weakest" film to win Best
Picture in a whil
