***How come people (and you know who you are) can pick apart a movie like Gladiator by saying it is not completely accurate yet can watch the Matrix, Star Wars, Star Trek, Titanic, or any of hundreds of other trendy, fluffy, fantasy and/or futuristic junk and be thoroughly entertained?Well, not me, for sure... too broad a brush?
I have not seen the Gladiator, nor do I expect to do so at the theater, but there is apparantly oen piece of evidence. According to some knowledgeable sources, he is not using what people thought was the Gladius, and he is not using the Gladius fighting technique either. He is apparently using the Spatha.
What does this have to do with movies? Well, whatever. Perhaps a question for those who saw it...
