Thought it would be more historical and less allegorical.
Sometimes allegory gives the viewer a better picture of something than the simple facts. As a retelling of the life of Commodus, Gladiator was horrible. As a look into an 800 year struggle between imperial tyranny and SPQR, the movie belongs with Seutonius and Polybius.
I had a similar issue with the "Lonesome Dove" mini-series. The first time I watched it, I was expecting a western and was very disappointed. Later, I realized it was a Shakespearean tragedy. Watched it again and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm still working on my ability to willing suspend disbelief. :biggrinjester:
Just so you all know. When the hero puts a match or lighter up to a sprinkler head and it goes off. Only that sprinkler head goes off, not all the sprinkler heads in the building, floor or room. Hope I haven't spoiled your favorite movie.

Found on Reddit today.

This photo was posted. Very little explanation. Other than he had realized a dream.

I thought it was curious so many likes for such simple photos.

I will let you figure it out. It’s for movie buffs.
