Rating: 5.0
An Award Winning Film For Sure!
Superb film and one of the best for this year! Music was both creative and intoxicating. There was actually a well devised plot and a positive moral thread throughout the film.. love of family, duty, honor and strength. Costuming and scenes were realistic. Enjoyed immensely actors Russell Crowe, Richard Harris and Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix was very intense, troubled and believable. It was great seeing Harris in this dramatic role. Crowe showed excellent acting and athletic ability. The mixture of surrealistic scenes of Elysium were in stark contrast to the realities of the "gladitorial arena," but added realism to the entire performance. Added features, such as: interview with Hans Zimmer, the musical composer, cut scenes, and the making of the film were an appreciated added touch. This film is a must see and a DVD worth adding to your personal collection.
