"And when it came out, I was in high school, I didn't even know I could be blown away by a movie, and I was. The writing in that movie was awesome. The action, the overall message of the movie. And of course, it wasn't historically accurate. We all know Maximus wasn't a real person. We all know that Comedist was a very different person than how he was portrayed on film, which was fine. Joaquin Phoenix did a great job."
