So, I was just sitting at home on the computer, and my friend asks me if I ever watched Gladiator. I say no, I never found a reason too. Well, my friend basically called me an idiot and told me to watch the movie. :P
Well, I just watched the movie and........wow.......just wow. I can barely comprehend how amazing I thought the movie was. From the opening sequence, I was hooked. The battle, the scenery, the cast. Everything was well done. The life and story of Maximus was told in such a great way....the dialogue......it was magnificent. The bitter struggle between Maximus and Commodus, the quest for revenge, it was all great. However, nothing hit me as hard as the ending of the movie. [spoiler] You always expect the hero to live [/spoiler] ....I'm gonna admit it right now, Gladiator is the only movie to ever make me have a tear in my eye. [spoiler] The ending made me feel as if I just lost a friend, which seems silly, but the movie was presented in such a way. I was happy and sad at the ending. [/spoiler]
I encourage everyone to watch this movie. It is just that good.
Btw, I also made a video on it, check it out in my profile. *warning: spoilers*
