Gladiator

Was wondering when my next post would be. Found the perfect topic. One of the very few movies I have seen countless times and would like too see again and again; Gladiator :)
Saw the movie for the first time when I was at home. Kept watching it over and over. My father was almost as hooked to the movie as myself. There was where I found my perfect homeland. The place where he reaches at last; with his beautiful wife and so cute son waiting for him. Maybe heroes do not need heroines; maybe all that they need are normal human beings like me who would tie them down to the earth, show them the normal world where they can live their normal lives :)
The one dialogue I loved the best was "....father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife.." And also loved the way they were not portraying the Princess as a bad woman for having loved him and for being loved by him. After all it was natural, was it not;worshiping and loving a great man..
