		A trainer of gladiators or the manager of a team of gladiators was known as a lanista.
		Gladiators who managed to win their freedom - often by request of the audience or sponsor - were given a wooden sword as a memento.

	Gladiator: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Gladiator is directed by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise), and is written by David Franzoni, John Logan and William Nicholson, from a story by David Franzoni.
		Gladiator, however, owes most of its success to its clever exploration of the notion of "spectatorship." By providing violent images of the gladiator games, the film portrays the Roman crowd's thirst for violence while simultaneously confronting the film's spectators with their appeal for screen violence.
		All in all, Gladiator is a spectacular film that cleverly uses its poignant images and its powerful characters to create a dramatic story that speaks of the corruptibility of the human mind and the redeeming powers of love and justice.

		The film's characterization accurately reflects Marcus Aurelius's reputation for wisdom, but its representation of Commodus is extremely watered down, as Commodus was far more insane and bloodthirsty than he appears in the film.
		The film's depiction of Commodus's entry into Rome borrows imagery from Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propoganda film Triumph of the Will (1934), although Ridley Scott has pointed out that the iconography of Nazi rallies was of course inspired by the Roman Empire.

	Movie Review - Gladiator (2000) - eFilmCritic
		Gladiator is visually spectacular, and serves us a "history" of the Roman empire which is heavily laced with Shakespearean dialogue, dream-sequences, philosophical discussions of the afterlife, to make the film more palatable.
		The philosophical discussions of the afterlife in the film are rather banal in that there is an assumption that all characters have the same supernatural convictions and religious beliefs.
		Gladiator is a very gory film, for all those who say it is not, and though a bit of gore is expected, I don’t think that we need to use CG effects to see every spray of blood, every splash of sweat.

	Gladiator (2000): Reviews
		Gladiator has its creaky moments, but it delivers a particular kind of visceral historical spectacle that movie audiences haven't seen in decades.
		The soul of Gladiator is made sluggish by a maddening lack of suspense.
		For all its grandeur, Gladiator is a canned experience, a film that flails around awkwardly trying to find a reason to exist, or at least a compelling story to tell.

	Review: Gladiator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Gladiator weds the heroic scope of movies like Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Braveheart, and Rob Roy with the serpentine political treachery of I, Claudius.
		For New Zealand-born, Australian-bred actor Russell Crowe, Gladiator represents an opportunity to expand his reputation, which was heightened earlier this year by a Best Actor nomination for his portrayal of whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand in Michael Mann's The Insider.
		Perhaps Scott's greatest achievement with Gladiator is neither keeping the pacing of a 2 1/2 hour movie tight nor choreographing a spectacular battle scene, but creating a second-century Rome that is entirely credible and stunning in its detail.

		He comes across as consistently simpy and effeminate, and I never for a second felt that he was a worthy foe for Maximus; I always thought that Crowe could eliminate him with a backhanded swat and that would be that.
		Unfortunately, these segments don’t compose a majority of the movie, and the rest is overly chatty and ponderous.
		However, despite a few excellent action sequences, the movie as a whole is a rather bland and unmemorable affair that doesn’t live up to Scott’s better efforts.

		Gladiator's plot is a whirlwind of faux-Shakespearean machinations of death, betrayal, power plays, and secret identities (with lots of faux-Shakespearean dialogue ladled on to keep the proceedings appropriately "classical"), but it's all briskly shot, edited, and paced with a contemporary sensibility.
		In short, this is a great buy, and is not only a fantastic movie but also a must have package for any DVD collector.
		According to the critics and movie fans alike, Joaquim Phoenix left a lot to be desired; but i do not agree.

		Your half right, some Gladiator combats weren't to the death, and most of them weren't major battles as shown in the movie either.
		The battles were none too frequent either, your typical Gladiator fought, at most, about 3 times a year, so if you want to be precise, only a few hundred Gladiators could have died in any given year...
		Unless of course, there was a combat festival like the kind shown in the movie (they were infrequent, but they did exist), that's when Gladiators start to die in big numbers, there was one combat festival in Ancient Rome in which 5,000 Gladitors died, but that is the exception and not the rule.

	Gladiator (2000)
		And then adhering to good Biblical/literary form, it is not until he hits absolute rock bottom that the heroic paradigm reinvents himself as a peerless gladiator, beloved by the masses and primed to challenge Aurelius' despotic son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix).
		A less egalitarian film critic, unconcerned with being labelled a chauvinist, might even dub Gladiator a men's film; albeit one that can still be enjoyed by the women who love them.
		Derek Jacobi is correctly aristocratic as Gracchus, the Roman senator who forthrightly declares: "I may not be of the people, but I certainly am for the people." And even Richard Harris manages to harness the hamminess, succinctly setting the film's philosophically sober tone as Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
