<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On a mundane note, after a long day of building
prints at my mundane occupation of projectionist, I was rewarded. The reward was
screening Gladiator. Well, It was quite a movie. I enjoyed it immensely.
Although a work of fiction, based on history, it was a movie I would happily see
again. As a whole, I think that we the public being more informed than ever
before has forced Hollywood to at least have a basis in research. I'll not give
away anything! :) But It was grand to see the Coliseum for what it was
historically, a Wonder of the Roman Empire and a Marvel of Mechanics
for it's time period. On a personal note, I am still vexed as to why we think it
is acceptable in playing Romans to have an English accent? Immediately we think
"phony" when we hear an american accent in such a role. Hmmmm..... Guess it's
Shakespear's Legacy that all Romans have an English accent. :) I have
gotten off track....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The movie...... Must see, I felt it marched
(not plodded) toward an interesting climax, sparked with action. The characters
I felt were believable and human, helping draw us into a world that remains only
through study and research. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, enough of this non-essential opinion. I thank
you for your time.</FONT></DIV>
