Gladiator (2000)

Djimon Hounsou Film Festival
This film won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russel Crowe. To me, this is the film that defines Russel Crowe, much the way I believe Mel Gibson is defined by Braveheart. It had another 45 wins out of 75 nominations. It was obviously considered by many to be one of the most outstanding films of all time.
I would not repeat the description which is known by almost everyone, but say that I though Crowe was magnificent. I also thought that Djimon Hounsou established his cred as an actor for his role in this film. Of course, we musn't overlook Connie Nielsen, who enchanted us Keanu Reeves' Satan-spawned sister, who was hell-bent on incest in The Devil's Advocate. It was her brother Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) who is bent on incest in this film.
Director Ridley Scott never lets the film lag. The action was continuous and exciting. They just don't make movies like this very often.

| I'm one of those few people who was never really impressed with this movie. I liked Joaquin Phoenix, but that's about it. |

"Commodus: They tell me your son squealed like a girl when they nailed him to the cross. And your wife... moaned like a wh*re when they ravaged her again and again... and again. "
is VERY funny to me everytime I hear it..
