greatest film of the millenium

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2000)

My compliments to Mr.Ridley Scott for making this excellent film.He made the revival of the antique Rome possible.I have seen yet the film five times and at no point it seemed to be tedious Surprising special effects but also a great praise to the actors:Mr .Russell Crowe, Mr.Joaquin Phoenix and Mrs Connie Nielsen Mr. Crowe plays his role in a fascinating manner.We believe him his part of a hero who shows sense of duty ,wisdom ,fear and heart. His opponent Mr Phoenix has quiet a difficult role, the hero is loved by everyone,but he plays a man most people don t like,although he is victim and perpetrator in one person,a complexe character.His growing madness is really impressing. And then Mrs Nielsen between the two different men,her convincing fear against her brother ,such a great performance. Not to forget the other actors which make possible that the audience is dipping in a former epoch and living through it.Also my congratulations to the whole crew in the background.
Nothing has really changed since now,we only observe the games in the television and we have not to go to the arena,we want to be entertained and we have reached another form of brutality. This film is like a mirror. Mr Scott uses entertainment that we are forced to see in this mirror.For these efforts an Oscar nomination is waiting, For strength and honor.
