The gladiator takes its audience on an epic journey through moments of pain, happiness, and pride. William Arnold writes, "[The Gladiator] ... delivers a particular kind of visceral historical spectacle that movie audiences haven't seen in decades." Russell Crowe takes on the role of a general named Maximus. Maximus who is a beloved hero and a great warrior is betrayed by his own nation and sold into slavery. In slavery Maximus is forced to take up sword and shield as he fights for his life in a coliseum as a gladiator. This epic move shows the great journey and the lengths that Maximus goes as he continues to struggle for his beliefs and as he seeks revenge.
The gladiator really touches the audience in a way that makes the viewer feel as if he or she could almost relate to Maximus. Perhaps it is the amazing acting, the creative delivery of the film, or the well thought-out scenery and costumes. Whatever it is, the overall experience is phenomonal.
