So far between you and Victor we have a wrong sword and a missing dog as evidence that this movie is terrible. No discussion of any points I have made on character development and story structure. I can see why you guys would rather just say movies are kaka. That seems to be the best you can offer.
Follow Ups:
It was only meant as a symbol. And in the case of the dog it just shows what the intention of the director is.
Even the most missguided ones. I therefore applaud you on your deep study of that completely insignificant item - I presume it took far more effort that delving into something good.Would it be right to assume that only a severe hunger for "character development" thingy would cause one seek it in the Gladiator?
Did you know there were other, a bit more, shall we say, advanced, films that might offer even more interesting case studies than the Maximus?
"Even the most missguided ones. I therefore applaud you on your deep study of that completely insignificant item - I presume it took far more effort that delving into something good."Isn't it ironic that you now find your only critique of the movie of substance to be insignificant in the end. I agree. Did you rrealize you were commenting on your own critique?
"Would it be right to assume that only a severe hunger for "character development" thingy would cause one seek it in the Gladiator?"You have yet to be right about anything so far with the possible exception of the sword. Which, as you now seem to see, is trivial.
"Did you know there were other, a bit more, shall we say, advanced, films that might offer even more interesting case studies than the Maximus?"
Sure. But it isn't all or nothing propostion. Patrick suggested that there was no character development in Gladiator. when I pointed out several examples of character development in the movie (by the way that is what is known as arguing about something of substance. I actually talked about the content of the movie. You might want to try it sometime) Patrick dismised it as lacking meat. Rhetoric without support at best. In fact it was a case of backpeddling when caught in an obvious objective error. More back peddling followed. No, I don't think Gladfiator is the last word in character development but it isn't lacking either.
