Is Russell Crowe’s wrestler dependent on a true story?

“Gladiator” is the Ridley Scott Classic that sparked the box office away when it was released in the summer of 2000. Scott recently returned to the Romanian epic with the “Gladiator II” supplement, starring Paul Missal and A scene that records the Washington Denzel. Although the “Gladiator” privilege is a player in the cinema, one of the common questions is whether it depends on a historical historical story, or whether it is just a fantasy. In the case of Russell Crowe wrestler, “In particular, is the horrific Maximus story a good faith, or is it consisting of a whole cloth?

The short answer is that the last most. The “wrestler” does not depend on a true, or supplementary story. However, this is a difficult answer because Scott an act A strong borrowing from the true history of creating his story. (It is somewhat similar to how Hitler’s assassination is completely integrated in “Inglouous Bastards”, but it does not change the fact that the film is full of historical ringing.)

It is true that some characters in “Gladiator”, such as Maximus, consist of the story. But there are a large number of characters in both films who are all raised directly from the historical record. Individuals were like Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), Brigadier (Jawakin Phoenix), Macrinus (Denzel Washington), and Gita (Joseph Quinn), and Karakala (Farid Hishnger) real people in history. It is their actions and the story in which they are placed.

Things become more complicated when you look at how the biggest “wrestler” story dances with the truth. Marcus Aurelius really lived in old age and was constantly fighting the Germans on the Roman border. Komodus took over after him and started ruling as a tyrant at all. However, with the progress of the movie, there is Some major deviations. For example, there is no evidence that Commodos killed his father. Likewise, Marcus Aurelius was an old philosophical emperor, but he did not go to the point of attempting to restore the Roman Republic. By all standards, Komodus chose his heir. However, inspiration is clear there. Ridley Scott simply took the concept of technical licensing very literally to tell his story. ((“Gladiator 2” has close links to historical realityAnd if it is in the midst of the main fictional elements.)

One of the best examples The fictional personality that relies heavily on the historical reality is Senator Jerashos. Derek Jacobi plays, the politician in the film stands out as reliable ally in the snake den. Throughout the movie, he works behind the scenes to help the heroes, and eventually granted the responsibility of directing Rome to a republic. Although the character was invented for the film, Graxchus is clearly inspired by a pair of Senate members much early in Roman history: Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus. Besides sharing the name, both the real and imaginary members of this Graci trio were individuals who ruined the regime and worked to help people (albeit in very different ways).

Unlike his film counterpart, the real dean actually loved fighting in the arena, but he did not die there. Painting by his note, Maria, as part of an assassination plot. Then, when the poison failed to finish it, the conspirators sent the personal coach of Commodus, a wrestler named Narcissus, to strangle him while he was bathing. Extension, it is He was He was killed by the wrestler – but not the wrestler filmed in the movie.

While characters like Commodus and Gracchus have an interesting historical resonance, the most wonderful of everything is Maximus. Russell Crowe’s character is fully formed for the film. There was no Spanish general who grew up near the royal family, lost his family, became a wrestler, and killed the dean in the square. This is the novel of pure epic stories of Ridley Scott’s imagination, which is not ended. However, there Some real Roman individuals who are likely to affect parts of Maximus’s character.

One of these is Marcus Nunius Macrinos, the historical version of the Denzel Washington’s character in “Gladiator II”, who was a statesman, a general, and a consultant to Marcus Aurelius. Another candidate is Avidius Cassius, another of the Aurelius generals who seized almost instead of the dean, but not with the blessing of his empire. Communications continue to come. Magnus Maximus was Spanish of modest origins that later emperor in Roman history. Diocletian was a famous emperor who started as a guardian of either the Emperor’s personal, and in the end he presented revolutionary political reforms.

Perhaps the best one of everything is Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus (good luck in pronouncing it), a villa that led the Romanian forces against the Germans during the era of Marcus Aurelius. Get this: Bombanos married the daughter of Emperor Lusella (she played the role of Cony Nielsen in the movie) and was supposed to be a comodos consultant when he became an emperor. However, he had to get out of the limelight when she came out that his wife was involved in a conspiracy against her brother. In multiple points in his life, he even showed the crown.

Learn the reason for the difficulty of linking this pure imagination? Yes, the comprehensive story of Maximus The Spaniard is formed on the silver screen. You cannot even say that it is decorated or exaggerated. Both Maximus and the “Gladiator” story are very far from communicating with any one individual. But many characters are inspired by their arrival directly from reality, as well as the largest historical strokes.
