Gladiator
CRAFTY:
The music! Yeah...I forgot to say that in my post, lol.
It's true...there are several themes Hans Zimmer made for this movie and they are all great. You can actually hear them all in the first 20 min. of the film I think (he says that in the documentary on one of the extra's on the DVD).
My favorite scene is where Maximus has to take off his helmet in front of the emperor (Joaquin Phoenix)...that scene has to BE one of the best scenes I've seen in my life, lol, I'm crazy about it. You can feel it coming when you're watchin' it. First, they told the gladiators to NOT turn your back on the emperor...next thing you know, BAM, Maximus turns his back. I loved that. 8) Then...it gets even better:
Commodus: "You will remove your helmet & tell me your name"
*Maximus turns around and takes his helmet off and starts sayin' that incredible part!*
Maximus: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and loyal servant to the true emperor of Rome, Marcus Aurelius...And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next".
Aw man! ;D And in the meanwhile you can hear the music comin' up, I can't get enough of that scene, hahaha. It reminds me a bit of Sam Jackson when he's recitin' the Bible in Pulp Fiction, it also brings that same feelin' to me.
Anyway...it's definitely true: the music in this movie is GREAT (and that's an understatement ;))

Don Breezio:
this is one of the most amazing movies i've ever seen...and i have to agree with everybody...i was thinking about this the other day. as good as the effects and the acting and the general story line is...without the score...the movie wouldnt be half as good. its the music they put in the movie that lets you walk away from the movie with a good feeling even though the entire movie is people being slaughtered. the music at the end from about the time of maximus' fight with commodus to the end was the most amazing thing i've ever heard. its relaxing and it gives you a great feeling when you listen to it. i think that was probably one of the best if not the best film ever made.
