Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Like Rome must have been like!
I'm a history teacher who has the pleasure of teaching about this time period. Though there are some fictional characters, etc., this film truely depicts what Rome looked liked and how it really felt to be there. The way that the gladiators trained and fought was really true to life. There was much more fighting with animals though, which was left out. I was hesitant to see this at the movies, because I thought it would be some cheezy depiction of over-glorified Roman life. Boy was I wrong. Though I can't show many clips to my 7th-grade class, the extra CD really gives good and accurate historical info for any history buff. SEE THE GRANDUER!
