the best!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2014)

I think this is the best movie ever made! and it must be at the first place of every rankings,even top 250. Russell Crowe is one of top 10 actors in the world, and his great act in this movie make audience a lot of emotional feeling. even at the end of that make me cry... Gladiator features some wonderful cinematography by John Mathieson. The battle scenes are very graphic. There were some scenes in particular that really struck me, such as when Crowe appears to be floating over the ground very fast. The use of color and color tones added a great deal to the mood of the movie. Ridley Scott's epic film does not romanticize a democratic Golden Age of Rome but a decaying, blood thirsty empire on the edge of its fall... Through its beautiful music, through Russell's performance and through Ridley's soulfulness, "Gladiator" brought a poetic vision in a new and very cinematically richly way that really gave the audience something different
