Gladiator; Release date May 5, 2000 (USA); Winner of 5 Academy Awards – made the top of my list for outstanding cinematic achievement and has maintained that position of distinction for more than a decade.
UPDATE!! AWESOME SAUCE!! GLADIATOR 2 WILL BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 2024. CAN'T WAIT!!
Published a detailed review of the movie “Gladiator” which starred Russell Crowe, who received the Academy Award for his spectacularly awesome performance as the “gladiator who defied an emperor”. The critique was also written to honor one of my favorite actors, the late Robert Oliver Reed (1938 – 1999), who passed away during the making of the film. Many people would likely categorize this film as Action/Adventure or Drama or Historical Fiction (because the writers took artistic liberty with the historical facts). As for me, in my humble imaginative opinion, the film could appropriately be categorized under Superhero Movies because Mr. Crowe played his role like he was a superhero! :)
Found this interesting blog called: moco-choco. Coffee? Chocolate? Neither! The first post visited was about a re-visualization of famous historical places and people based on "reality". For example, the pyramids of Giza were actually white and shiny. Who knew? Perception versus reality. It was an eye-opening blog post!
Example of one of the numerous images displayed at the moco-choco blog. The sculpted figures take on a new life when you see them in color. In fact, the colors give them life!

#DidYouKnow? The first king of Rome was #Romulus. "The first king is given credit for creating many Roman institutions, including the Senate, the army, and the calendar. He did not die. He vanished into a cloud during a thunderstorm and became a god." ~ https://t.co/Ke7hWRmxwSpic.twitter.com/rukQyr9pJp

Still continuing to dream my impossible dream. This blog post - Dream Italian? Think Italian. Be Italian! - (1st published in 2015) enjoys popularity, no matter where it is shared. That lets me know there are lots of people who probably dream of vacationing or even living in Italy.
Assuming that's true, I decided to go a 2nd time around and supplement the content for my original post with some additional information found at the HubPages writing community. Currently, my writer's profile shows 20 HUBs (or articles). However, the only one that comes close to the topic of Italy is the one titled The Seven Kings of Rome.
Here are some suggested reads published by my fellow HUBBERs that you are sure to enjoy.
