This movie has it all!!! Terrific acting, heartfelt story, and the "Dream of a Dying Man." Strength & Honor ... What We Do In Life Echoes in Eternity!!!
still think they could have brought back gladiator back by the roman gods sending him back to do more tasks before he was allowed back to his wife and son could have sent him back in another body to bring more justice on the roman empire
Intense movie, excellent ending!
