I Came, I Saw, It Conquered
This epic film starring Russell Crowe is a powerful and emotional experience. Though the film is quite long, you lose track of time while watching and it passes like seconds, leaving you wanting more. Not only is the film interesting, it is also beautiful. The director uses images like Maximus' (Crowe) hand running over stalks of golden wheat and red flower petals falling from above in the arena to create a deeper meaning in scenes. You certainly can't go wrong with a film that combines heroism, survival, blood, and beauty. A must see film!
