My watchbook: "Gladiator"
Nels 2022-04-20 09:01:02
From the picture, it seems that this "Gladiator" is really bloody, the kind that cuts people horizontally at every turn, but it is not objectionable in this regard, it just adds a bit of tragic. The plot is actually a bit old-fashioned. Because a general with outstanding military exploits was highly valued by the old emperor, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the new king who usurped the throne, so his family was destroyed, and he escaped in anonymity and became a slave. Then he was invincible in the arena with his powerful force, finally entered the Colosseum, and came to the new emperor again to conduct the final general reckoning with this great enemy. There is not much to say about the story. The performance of the actors, the creation of the atmosphere, the grandeur of the scene, and the compactness of the narrative are the advantages of the film. These advantages together are enough to make "Gladiator" very exciting and shocking. The character of the new emperor is well shaped, but unfortunately, you are just a big cup.
