real life situation for an epic

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2007)

There's all you might imagine, a real life situation for an epic. Remember that such battles where very common, not to mention the thousands of lives lost. Ridley Scott put the viewer into suspense and tension during the very first battle we had, not to mention the grandiose strategy Maximus had.
Shot in Malta: Ricasli and other locations, the arena built had over 5000 extras. All awaiting for the signal...
Roar did the crowd when Maximus entered. They loved him, a man of honour, a normal being, a prisoner, a warrior. Their HERO!
Ridley Scott direction excelled at its best in Gladiator conveying the authenticity of life, our ancestors have lived!
