Spring fever is underway.
High-action, summer blockbusters are rolling out. And male hormones have loomed large in the news lately. Russell Crowe is burly, handsome and convincing in the role of Maximus. Crowe embodies the idea of the fierce and wise warrior, the soldier who fights for family, honor, duty, country all the stuff that we're told, and told again in this movie, define manhood. Better Hollywood movies, like this one, force us to ignore any real-world questions we have about such easy truisms.
