      Gladiator--The General's Bloody Arena

      The film has a grand epic feel, and the panorama of the city of Rome is very beautiful. The story isn't new—a general who works hard for his pay and his revenge for death. The pictures of the arena in the movie are very bloody. Many friends say that the filming is very good. I personally find it difficult to appreciate such bloody scenes, but I have to admit that Russell Crowe is very suitable for playing such a rough and tough role. At the end of the film, a symbolic picture is given of the...

      Gladiator

      In terms of audio-visual language, the rhythm of the whole film is loose and loose, the tone is unified, the sound and picture are harmonious, and the plot is ups and downs, which is exciting. For example: Scene 1, the first shot of the film is a 28-second close-up shot, which also echoes the shot at the end of the film. The warm yellow tone in this picture, the light and shadow are soft, and the lens is slow to follow. (After viewing) It gives people a warm and peaceful feeling, symbolizing...

      Gladiator

      The general has made outstanding military exploits and has a harmonious family. He hopes to be disarmed and return to the field. The old king loved the general very much, and hoped that the general could come back to inherit the throne after returning home. But the prince was very dissatisfied with this arrangement and killed the old king, as well as the general's family. The general was also nearly killed. After the general escaped, he finally returned home, but unfortunately it was too...

      under the epic

      After chasing after the Kingdom of Heaven, I wanted to see the magnificence of historical epic movies again, but I didn't expect to be so disappointed.

      The main feeling is that the story is not very good, the characters and the plot are not very strong, and many places are very strange.

      For example, the role of the little emperor is too incompetent. A gladiator is locked in a prison as a slave. You can't do anything. He can't even hear a word from the public, yet he has mastered...

      He used to be a famous general, he used to be a happy husband and father, he used to be a slave who could drive all Romans crazy, he used to point the sword at the emperor of the Roman Empire, even the emperor was in front of him Down, he used to be Maximus, or Spaniard, the latter known by more people. It was all over, he fell heavily on the ground, the young queen wept in front of...

      I just hate watching it too late, but after watching Blood and Sand of Spartacus, I always feel that it is so bad. If you watch 20 years of movies in the new era, if the plot is not very good or very artistic, there will always be a sense of stripping. The story is simple and epic and full of blockbuster feeling. Also shot neatly. Fuhua Dao also looked online and went to win the...

    Behind the scenes

    In order to film "Gladiator", Russell Crowe had to lose weight, and his method of losing weight was to do farm work on his Australian farm.
    Oliver Reid died of a heart attack during the filming, so some scenes with him had to be remade, and his 3D CGI face was used.
    In order to play a fierce and powerful gladiator, Russell Crowe and other actors who played gladiators received gladiator training. Because Russell Crow played a heavy role,...

    Piercing lens

    When Maximus returned home, there were obvious tractor ruts in the fields.
    Someone in the film smoked, but there was no tobacco in Europe before 1600 AD. In addition, the Romans did not use stirrups.

    Scene building

    The downtown view of the Roman Empire in the film was built by 200 British technicians and 100 Maltese craftsmen in 19 weeks. The Colosseum is the central building of the film’s location. After seeing the real Roman Colosseum, the director Ridley Scott thought that the arena used for filming the film was too small, so the production designer followed the British and French romanticism. The painter's work expanded the arena. The...

    Movie scene

    In "Gladiator", whether it is the fighting of the army in the forest or the fierce gladiatorial scene, it is given the resurrection of the digital age. The director used clever lens framing to show the magnificent war scenes, and the shooting of the war scenes between the Germanic tribes and the Roman legions was spectacular and lifelike. The roaring roman cavalry, the black armored infantry, the rockets fired by bows and arrows, the...

    Movie quotes

    • Marcus Aurelius: Are you ready to do your duty for Rome?

      Commodus: Yes, father.

      Marcus Aurelius: You will not be emperor.

      Commodus: Which wiser, older man is to take my place?

      Marcus Aurelius: My powers will pass to Maximus, to hold in trust until the Senate is ready to rule once more. Rome is to be a republic again.

      Commodus: Maximus?

      Marcus Aurelius: Yes.

      [Marcus Aurelius tries to comfort Commodus by reaching out his hand to touch him on the face but Commodus pulls his head away from Marcus Aurelius' hand in disgust]

      Marcus Aurelius: My decision disappoints you?

      Commodus: You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness, courage, perhaps not on the battlefield, but... there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family and to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son.

      Marcus Aurelius: Oh, Commodus. You go too far.

      Commodus: I search the faces of the gods... for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word, one full hug... where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight. Would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years. What is it in me that you hate so much?

      Marcus Aurelius: Shh, Commodus.

      Commodus: All I've ever wanted was to live up to you, Caesar. Father.

      Marcus Aurelius: [Marcus Aurelius gets down on his knees] Commodus. Your faults as a son is my failure as a father.

      [Marcus opens up his arms to Commodus and gives him a hug]

      Commodus: [Commodus hugs Marcus and cries] Father. I would have butcher the whole world... if you would only love me!

      [Commodus begins to asphyxiate Marcus while they hug, Marcus grunts]

    • Cassius: On this day, we reach back to hallowed antiquity, to bring you a recreation of the second fall of the mighty Carthage!... On the barren plain of Zama, there stood the invincible armies of the barbarian Hannibal. Ferocious mercenaires and warriors from all brute nations, bent on merciless destruction, conquest. Your emperor is pleased to give you the barbarian horde!

      [Crowd cheers]

      Maximus: [while Cassius continues his introduction] Anyone here been in the army?

      [an unknown gladiator responds yes and tells Maximus he served under his command at Vindobona]

      Maximus: You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together we survive.

      Cassius: I'm pleased to bring to you the Legionnaires of Scipio Africanus!

    • Maximus: You don't find it hard to do your duty?

      Cicero: Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.
