Gladiator Review

Good Evening. I wanna to present you my new Review about=) Gladiator.

It is no secret that for many decades (after the resounding failure of Cleopatra), peplum genre in Hollywood was, to put it mildly, are not held in high esteem. And because the new brainchild of DreamWorks was initially difficult predetermined fate. Changed producers, directors, screenwriters, performers dropped out of the project co-star. Even inviting the director's chair, the world-famous Ridley Scott, producers of big risk for latest creations Maitre not enjoyed success with the public and accepted by the critics. But this time luck was accompanied by the director - the film was a smash success, and critics at this time no one heard.

180 Year Mr. er. The glory of the Roman Empire Legion troops, led by the charismatic commander of Maximus in grand battles are winning new victories over numerous hordes of barbarians. Together with the number of victories and increasing popularity of Maximus in the nation. It would seem a little more and be captain of the emperor. But in the way of rising son of the Emperor Maximus, which regards military commander as an annoying impediment to the throne. So captain falls into disgrace and becomes a simple gladiator. From now on in my life, it remains only one objective for the new Emperor to avenge their shattered lives.

Gladiator's plot is original and not in the best tradition of Hollywood, straightforward and blatantly naive. But all these shortcomings are more than covered by the greatness of the battle scenes and gladiator fights. The filmmakers understand that today, the classic story of brave gladiators will not be able to attract viewers. Not be able to help in this case and the latest special effects. Remained the only way to make the characters as close to the modern viewer. So the characters are not Gladiator speaks beautiful romantic phrases more suited to the drunken Indian. They talk about simple, affordable things. They have understandable emotions. And the main characters are driven not just some frivolous desire for freedom and justice, and quite typical for ordinary people emotions love, hate, and rage.

Camera also behaves quite modern. Gladiatorial scenes filmed in the fashionable today style manual camera, allowing the viewer to literally plunge into the unfolding battle. A huge budget film is justified majestic panorama of Rome and the Colosseum if newly built better than any accountant showed the funds spent wisely. It is not entirely justified in the film were only his unrestrained timing and excessive theatricality. As you know, sentimental and slow principal enemies of the gladiator.
