Ridley Scott has had its ups and downs in his career as director of Hollywood had to hit the heights with the sci-fi classic "Alien" and "Blade Runner", and low, with films like "Legend" and "1492: The Conquest of Paradise "and mediocre hits like" Black Rain "and" Someone to Watch Over Me. " But it was not until "The Gladiator", where he read permanently questions about his reputation as a director seriously and it is not difficult to see why. This film has daredRelaunch of the epic Roman period and are able to do with some breathtaking images, shows beautiful and signs, and large scale. Scott has the record as saying that enjoys making movies that make a world "for rent". With this film gets to do just that, rendering ancient Rome in all its glory and brutality, said civil society otherwise. "Gladiator" is a great Hollywood epic scale, which is immersed in his world, and takeBack in another time and place.
"Gladiator" begins with an overview of our main hero, Maximus (with the support system of power played Russell Crowe), a Roman general who leads troops of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) in a big battle for Germany . The Indians a struggle, but no match for the professional brutal Roman army. After the battle, Maximus Emperor of trust that would have the power to hand after his death, and his first actin order to Rome a republic again. The son of Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) does not like this at all, and a jealous rage, kills his father and takes control of the empire. Commodus and Maximus is reduced accordingly condemned to death. Maximus escapes his execution, but ends up in the slave trade, which eventually becomes a gladiator who fights for his master Proximo (Oliver Reed). It is not long before Max found the Colosseum and a flood of games for the emperor,Maximus sees his chance for revenge on Commodus, the Roman people to revolt against him, kill him before he finally, in a duel arena principal.
The story of "Gladiator" is not particularly new, is the central character is the revenge of himself, but is set against the life and times of the Roman Empire. The story is not unique and there are some moments when you could be the script, the filmmakers have worked a bit 'more. However, where the film really shines inBroad-sweeping visuals, strong characterizations, and the great show altogether. This film is a feast for the eyes, all that is specified in a spectacular, with the re-creation of ancient Rome, as pending. Tilting shot reveals the Colosseum in the background and then the point fund for the thousands of people in the street, is nothing short of spectacular. The games in the Coliseum on behalf of all the most important pieces, instead of the agreed date (with the exception of an open war), in the film, andare spectacular. Sequence includes a particularly good ex-gladiator Maximus, while the Tigers to avoid a few battles. The composition of the shots in this series are very beautiful, and visually represents what Scott has tried to pass through Rome, the picture is nice, but what is it brutal and vulgar. First meeting Maximus' at the Coliseum with his team is excellent, especially how it ends frustrating with Maximus, Commodus, when the crowd votesto keep him alive.
Ridley Scott together a stellar cast for this epic novel. Russell Crowe is at the top in a dominant performance as Maximus. Everything revolves around him, and he carries the film sovereign. The supporting cast is impressive. Joaquin Phoenix gives a little 'slimy, ugly characters in Commodus, many bad things, not only because he felt no contempt or for him. Oliver Reed as Proximo Master slave Maximus, who was once honoreda slave himself. Richard Harris perfect as the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, and Connie Nielsen is great, as his daughter. Perhaps a comment in relation to these benefits, which were struck me as odd is that everyone speaks English with the correct accents. So that is the piece with a sense of infusion of elegance, but since the Romans speak with British accents was a bit 'weird. It 'only a little criticism for the most part, you did not notice as she was draggedthe epic nature of this film great.
"Gladiator" is an epic large old-style Hollywood corner with modern visual effects present, a visual and artistic triumph, and brings you back into the world of ancient Rome, although it is not the story more inventive and unique.
