One of the greatest scenes of all time ...
"My name is Gladiator.
How dare you turn your back on me? Slave!
... father to a murdered son. husband to a murdered wife. and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Amazingly well written, well acted, well directed and well produced, with OUTSTANDING sets.
Russell Crowe definitely earned the Best Actor award for this work. The moment he killed his opponent in the arena and shouted to the crowd, "Are you not entertained?" ... then spat on the ground with disdain ... I knew I was witness to one of the most powerful performances of all time.
Joaquin Phoenix was truly twisted - as if murdering his father, the Emperor, was not enough - there is the wicked sexual attraction for his sister ...
Loved this movie. See it ... often.
