After the ultimate sword fight, we eat Roman stew, apples, figs, and plumbs before we discuss Gladiator. This is the ultimate dad movie with a lot of beefy macho men fighting to win the crowd and win their freedom. For a film production filled with all kinds of setbacks, it has a larger-than-life story that is far from Roman reality, yet universal in its scope. Who wouldn’t enjoy a film with the original Dumbledore in it?
