Gladiator  角斗士 英文影评

Gladiator is the kind of movie upon which Hollywood once built its reputation but rarely produces anymore. Filled with larger-than-life characters, gorgeous scenery, impressive set design, and epic storytelling, Gladiator is designed not just to entertain, but also to enthrall. It draws audiences in and immerses them in a reality that is not their own.
Considered as the best film of year 2000, Gladiator won five of Oscar’s 73rd Annual Academy Awards, including best picture, leading actor, costume design, sound and visual effects.
Gladiator is set in 180 AD, and uses actual historical personages and events for background. The events that transpire in the film are largely fictional, but they blend in well with the known facts. It tells us a triumphant and magnificent story about loyalty and love, good over evil, and heroism.
