Gladiator

Movie Review “Gladiator”

Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama

Director: Ridley Scott

Writer: David Franzoni

Language: English

Star Cast: Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, and others

Released in India: 1 September 2000

‘Gladiator’ set in ancient time of Rome around 180 AD. It was time human fighting each other to kill was enjoyed as sport. It was time when dictator emperor ruled with brutality but nobody dares to oppose him. This movie is about one such guy Maximus (played by Russell Crowe) who dares to fight the emperor. Maximus was General in Caesar of Rome’s army who fought for them against Spain and won the war for them. The ruling Caesar was so happy with his patriotism that he wanted to make him next Ruler. Obviously Caesar’s son Commodus (played by Joaquin Phoenix) wasn’t happy with this decision. So he kills his father and Maximus’s family brutally. Maximus is totally broken and enslaved. He is bought by Proximo (played by Oliver Reed) as slave. Proximo then train him to fight as a gladiator.

Slowly, Maximus uses his warring skills to win the popularity of those who come to cheer for his death, until he gains an appearance in the Coliseum before Commodus who has made himself the new Caesar. Instead of having Maximus killed off right away, Commodus slowly lets him woo the crowd of Rome as well, until the final battle between them.

Ridley Scott did amazing job directing this extravagant movie. Art director and costume designer did outstanding job to portray ancient Rome. Russell Crowe was brilliant as usual.

If I have to rate this movie 10 out of 10.

Movie Review: "TWILIGHT"

Movie Review “TWILIGHT”

Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Thriller

Director: Catherine Hardwicke

Writer: Melissa Rosenberg (Screenplay), Stephenie Meyer (novel)

Language: English

Star Cast: Kirsten Stewart, Robert Pattison, Billy Burke, Peter Facinellli, Elizabeth Reaser, and others

Released in India: 20^th November 2009

“Twilight” is a movie based on Stephenie Meyer’s novel of same name. I read the book before watching the movie. I enjoyed the book very much. While reading the book you gets the feeling this is a story for movie. It has teenage romance, mystery, thriller, action and drama, all good for making a movie.

Twilight is a story of awkward teen Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart). She makes a hasty decision to move to Forks, Washington with his father. She hates Forks but still persists staying there for the sake of her mother. While in school she inescapably falls for a mysterious boy named Edward (played by Robert Pattinson). As the mystery unravel during the course of movie Bella come to know Edward is a Vampire. And one part of Edward loves her and some part certainly lust for her blood. How long can she carry on this fatal affair? Can she suppress her feelings? Can Edward be safe for her?

I enjoyed the book thoroughly; but I can’t say that about movie for sure. Director Catherine Hardwicke could not manage to convert excellent book into good enough movie. Some of its responsibility goes to screenplay also. Director did not able to portray the characters as well as in the book. This may be because of time limit but I won’t have mind watching the movie for half an hour more instead. Kristen Stewart was brilliant and natural. Robert Pattison was good. Special effects could have been more convincing.

If I have to rate this movie I will give it 6 out of 10.
