A semi-documentary about the life of Verus, a captive from the Rome's Balkan province of Moesia, who is pressed into the harsh life of a slave in Italian rock quarry. He sees no long term future there, so when the owner of a gladiatorial school comes there to recruit prospective fighters for his school, he purposely picks a fight with another slave to attract attention. Both he and Priscus, the Celtic slave, join the school, become friends, and build careers as renowned gladiators, adored by the crowds in the arena and desired by women of the aristocratic class. The Emporer Titus completes his father Vespasian's pet project, the Colosseum, and wants the inaugural games worthy of his memory, so he specifically selects Verus to fight in them.
Verus, a slave captured in the Balkans, sees a gladiatorial career in the arena as a preferable alternative to life in a rock quarry.
Very interesting brief pseudo-documentary on the life of a famous gladiator. Lots of interesting material presented in a compelling fashion in a very short time.
Following the career of an actual historical gladiator wasn't nearly as dramatic as watching Russell Crowe bruise and emote, but I personally found it more rewarding. No doubt a lot of what's shown must be only the best guesses of knowledgeable historians, but I feel certain that I truly got a lot of valuable insights into some aspects of ancient Roman life.
Lastly, the obvious, although unmentioned, comparisons between the ancient gladiators and modern professional athletes, and in particular, American football players, are disturbing. Maybe we too are entering the beginning of the end of our empire.
There is too little documentary value in this docu-drama, and frankly speaking I do not exactly know what the BBC invested so much in it. it may have been for rating reasons at the time of the release of the 'Gladiator' big studios movie, I am just speculating. The film focuses on the history of a gladiator by the time the Colosseum was built we learn a few new facts about the daily life and training methods of the gladiators and the organization of the fights, but the documentary value is too diluted and the fiction part not really too interesting. I found confusing the mix of first person story telling and historical comment in the off-screen commentary. Overall a below-average docu-drama.
