Gladiator (2000)

Excellent Movie
I saw this movie several times and now I wanted to buy it. I highly recommend it.

Zulus in the Teutoburger Wald?
This movie lost all credibility, and me, after the first battle scene between the Romans and the Germans when the Germans were chanting in Zulu.

I'm pretty sure that whoever did the sound editing on this film was high when they inserted that little gem.

It sounded great at Rourkes Drift*, but really stupid in the German forest.

I assumed that from that point onward the film would go downhill accordingly...and I was not disappointed.

* The movie was "Zulu" with Michael Caine, Stanley Baker and Jack Hawkins.

Shadows and Dust
Where do I begin? This was impressive all around.
Excellent special effects
Gripping story and drama
Intense action
Beautiful score
Excellent acting.
Chemistry between characters was perfect. Especially between Crowe and Phoenix.
This is one of the best movies of the past decade. This is a must and a treasure for any film collection.
