Miss Vicky's Movie Commentaries

I agree. Also Connie Nielsen is really beautiful.

You have proved your valor yet again, Maximus.

I think you're only ahead by a minute or so

Oh heavens yes she is.

"Rome salutes you, and I embrace you as a brother."

The guy Crowe hugged and the one next to him look very familiar but I can't think of their names.

Maximus the farmer. I still have difficulty imagining that.

"Don't get too comfortable. I may call on you, before too long"

I'm terrible are remembering names of supporting cast. I'm always thinking "Hey that's that one guy from that other movie"

So would this movie qualify as the best non porn incest movie?

Sadly until now, I didn't realize Marcus Aurelius is the same guy who plays English Bob in Unforgiven.

Shirtless Joaquin. Yummy

Probably.

I haven't seen Unforgiven in ages.

I vaguely remember not particularly liking it.

I did you a favor watching this movie. Next up: Naomi Watts or Rachel McAdams

People point out this scene as being a goof because Maximus says his wife has black hair, but the actress who plays her has brown hair. Actually his line was ad libbed and the actress hadn't yet been cast.

"I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark. Rome is the light"

Anytime anybody watches this movie, they are doing themselves a favor.

Most definitely, it's in my top 100 after all.
