Gladiator Review

The current craft is knitting, and I can't follow a pattern and read subtitles at the same time, so TV in English is the way to go.

Gladiator was on again, and I watched it again. I really like Russell Crowe as an actor and he is very good in Gladiator. Joaquin Phoenix plays a very good villain, too.

Whether it was coincident or not, the History Channel was doing a special on the Ceasar's, and was focusing on the morals of the time. I got in on the part starting with Tiberius, to Caligula, Claudius and Nero. Apparently in those times practices consider kapu now(pediophilia, incest, etc)were the norm with with upper class preying upon their slaves, but these 4 Ceasars were even more debauched then usual.

I liked the music at the end of Gladiator when he is floating between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and how he goes to a happy place when his last tie to the living world says, "Go to them." His work was done.

I will give this movie 4.5/5 acorns.
