Synopsis:
A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule, Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death.

@@vajidali2658 Wokism? You mean those Disney and Marvel productions? You had your fair share of bad movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, too. Maybe they didn't try to be "woke" then, but that didn't make them better. There are more than "a few exapmples" that stick out as excellent films for me that came out in the last 10 years or so. Parasite, The Babadook, Her, Joker, The Irishman, Mad Max: Fury Road, Grand Budapest Hotel, The Wailing, Get Out, The Wolf of Wallstreet, Hateful Eight, The Master... the list goes on and on and is quite diverse in terms of genre. To be honest, I even think that there are more movies that I love from 2007 to 2023 than from 1990-2006... But that's quite the subjective matter.

I was in high school when this came out and I still remember 1/2 the boys walking into our A level lesson on British government and politics quoting verbatim from the movie. The teacher took the register and got to one joker who said “my name is maximised decimus meridius, commander of the armies of the north etc etc”. All the girls in theclass were like “what the hell is wrong with these guys” and the teacher was rolling his eyes and smirking. It is such a generation defining movie for me. It is still the best action epic out there in my view (along with last of the mohicans which is amazing as well)
