"Harry Knowles is right"
"Gladiator" is about what a man has to do to become more than just a man. Malcolm X, John F. Kennedy were more than men. Maximus sacrificed himself for the sake of Rome. Not sense "Ben-Hur" has there been a great sandle movie. Harry say's this was a great film, he's right. This isn't an action film, it's about a man who must go threw the trials a tribulations to become a hero. Maximus should be compared to other notorious characters, like Travis Bickle, Rocky, and Don Corleone. "Gladiator also deserves to be compared to "Spartacus", "Braveheart", and "Ben-Hur." I love this film, it's been 4 years sense it first came out, and the ending still touches me emotionaly. Bravo Russell Crowe, you deserved your Oscar.
