Title: "What we do in life echoes in eternity."
Review: It's true that this isn't really historically accurate, but who cares? This is an ACTION film, and we're supposed to be entertained by its action-packed images that would have our adrenaline overflowing. Ridley Scott sure knows how to mix action with drama. I was greatly inspired by not only the battle scenes (both in the forest and in the coliseum), but also the visual spectacle that is Rome. Yes, it's CGI, but it looks so beautiful. The acting is also a plus. Crowe, Nielsen, and Phoenix are excellent here, though I was devastated to see that Crowe won the oscar instead of Tom Hanks for Cast Away. But anyway, they're all brilliant I enjyoed watching this film very much. Grade: A
