Gladitor


A very crazy choice in art way to casts a light over Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" that no swordplay can go through him. The movie looks super muddy and at the same time fuzzy. Its colours are very dark tones at the very end of the palette, and it seems like the movie had been filmed on grim and overcast days. This darkness and a very low detail in the long shots helps obscure shabby special effects (the Colosseum in Rome looks like a fake model from a computer game) and the cast bring no smile to the face, They're nasty, vengeful and really Depressed. By the finishing of this long film, I would have traded any kind of gladiatorial victory for just one shot of Tequila.

This same story line could have been more of an entertainment; I have just revisited the wonderful "Raiders of the Lost Ark," which is just as silly but 10 times more fun. But "Gladiator" lacks of joy It employ depression as a substitute for the personality, and as the believes the characters are harsh and miserable enough, we wouldn't notice how grey there personality is.

"Gladiator" is being a hit by those with short term memories as the same equal of "Spartacus" and "Ben-Hur." This is more like "Spartacus Lite." Or dark. It's only needed to think back a few weeks, to Julie Taymor's "Titus," for the movie is set in ancient Rome that's clearly better to look at. The visual achievement of "Titus" puts  "Gladiator" at a shame, and its script is a whole heck of a lot better than the "Gladiator" screenplay, even if the famous Shakespeare didn't make Titus the only champion that was undefeated in Roman history.
