Gladiator

To start with the film stuff, let's look at the only single scene that has ever made me, and many people I know, cry, in a movie theater:




Quite epic isn't it? The (now famous) "We are Free" OST, the superb acting... and most of all, the last words:

I will meet you again. But not yet. Not yet.

In those three lines you have the most concentrated juice of hope you'll ever find:
A slave, who finally gets his freedom back, and knows that he wil be able to live a worthy life, have a wife, children, a decent job... and even when his time comes, he will reunite with his old friend, Maximus!
Now I won't enter on religious debates, but nobody can deny that in this times of economical hardship and general depression, this are the kind of things that people want to hear ;)

On another note, let's see how good the new Robin Hood is, given that it's the same director and main actor....


In the next Movie featurettes, I'll show you some "less known" films which are really good (and even have "cult" status) so you can put comments about them, stay tuned!
