Germania (Gladiator) 5

Ridley Scott's realism in the battle of the Roman army against the Germanic people during first thirty minutes of 'Gladiator' is equally relentless and exciting. To the degree that a sense of battle was conveyed to audiences in 'Full Metal Jacket', in the introduction to 'Saving Private Ryan' or in 'Band of Brothers', there is, in this sequence, also a vivid sense of I truly would not have wanted to have been there, no how.
