Document Summary
Sign of the cross, 1932 cecil b. demille. Epic film maker: he wanted to make it right. He had multiple fights going on at once never would have happened unless they were condemned criminals. There were all sorts of other gladiator types of combat, but we only talk about 1 vs 1. We who are about to die salute you" used for those that are about to die. Scene sprinkling going back and forth: misunderstanding of a latin term gifts or food would be sprinkled around in a theatre, not dust. Textbook says here is as close a look as you will get into how it was to live as a gladiator. Spartacus was a thracian that lead a revolt. Scene 1 vs 1 battle: small round shield correct. Amid everything that is wrong, they have a net again. Could pull it off because they had computer generated effects. Have a mase medieval weapon that never would have been present.
