"Gladiator II" and the missed opportunity of history far more riveting than Ridley Scott's fiction

Salon  

About two hours into "Gladiator II," Hanno steps up to deliver a speech that might finally tell us why we should care about anyone or anything in Ridley Scott's newest sharks-and-sandals potboiler. Fred Hechinger plays Emperor Caracalla in "Gladiator II" Ironically enough, the real-life Caracalla, described as a soldier's emperor who bore all the hardships of an enlisted legionary, might have been the perfect fit for what Scott seems to view as Rome's ideal savior. Connie Nielsen plays Lucilla and Joseph Quinn plays Emperor Geta in "Gladiator II" Lucilla never has the chance to amount to anything, but Domna at her emotional depth would have fit perfectly with Scott's fixation on vengeance as fuel for narrative, mixed with a heavy dose of moral agony. Denzel Washington plays Macrinus in "Gladiator II" But even without elevating fellow gladiators alongside Lucius, the film had one character already in its stable who provided a meaningful way to interrogate the idea of freedom.
