What we do in life, echoes in eternity...
Simply a great film. Perhaps the best example of an historical epic in recent years, and yes, I find it to be better than Braveheart. I only wish that Russell Crowe would have been given his due three years ago when he turned in an Oscar-worthy performance in LA Confidential. I can't think of a better actor to play Maximus. Plus, no one else could've have been as bombastic or cantankerous as Oliver Reed (as Proximo). The historical epic hasn't died out yet.
