Gladiator





I've recently seen "Gladiator", a film directed by Ridley Scott.

In this film, Russell Crowe gives live to Maximo, a well known general of the roman empire who had won a lot of battles and it's loyal to the current emperor. At the beginning of the film, he's fighting with his roman army against barbarian, and when he won the battle, arrives Comodo, who kill his father, the emperor when he notice that he won't be the next emperor and it will be Maximo.
After escaping of his executation, Maximo goes to his home, but the roman empire leaded by Comodo had burnt his properties and killed his wife and his son. in that moment, Maximo is draft as a gladiator.
In that moment, he decides to revenge the death of the old emperor killing Comodo to return to Rome the freedom that they had with Comodo's father.
After a failed attempt to conquer the city, he have to fight in the coliseum against Comodo, who hurt him before the fight to had it easier to kill him. Finally, Maximo kills Comodo, but he dies a few seconds later, returning the freedom to the real government of Rome.

That's a film that I've seen many times before and i love it, but it's the first time that I see it in original version and i have to say that it's better to see it like this because despite the fact that you learn english, you can really see how the film has been made.
