I loved this movie. Definitely one of my top 10 favorites of all time.

Russell Crowe was fantastic, but I thought Joaquin Phoenix just stole the show.
I absolutely agree! Which scene did you like the best, DVC?

SPOILER

Mine is the bit where Maximus reavels his real identity to Commodus in the arena.....WOW!! I feel CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE at the mere thought of that scene!!!

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
