Remember the desert in Zucchabar ...

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2000)

For more than two hours you live back then, you feel the sand, the heat, the fear, you smell the blood and sweat.
I love the story, I like the image, the music and the unforgettable performance of the actors. As there has been a lot said about the fights, I would like to emphasize some other moments of the movie. Remember the desert in Zucchabar, and the cold forest in "Germania"? But how about the smooth wheat fields in Spain where HIS house was? The movie revives the Roman world again at is highest magnitude, on the screens as it was never done before. After all we all have a small piece of Romanity in us today. Think about it.
The great movie ever!!! Go see it!!!
P.S. To those who complained about the correctness of the history events: 95% of the whole literature is just fantasy, the rest of 5% is fantasy inspired from reality. What do you think Spartacus was indeed like? Like Kirk Douglas? How about Cleopatra, Moses, Jesus, Columbus, Shakespeare and all others? Do you think they did exactly what you saw on the screen? I think not, but let's love the movies for what they make us feel or think or for their power to make us a little bit better as Gladiator did.
