Line of Events
After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome, Lucius is forced into the Colosseum and must look to his past for the strength to restore Rome’s glory to his people. In the years since the first film was released, there have been numerous attempts to write a sequel. His version focused on the more mythical elements of ancient Rome and would have seen Maximus arrive in the afterlife, only to be faced with other souls who have yet to ascend further. He is eventually tasked by Jupiter and other Roman deities to return to Earth to find and kill Hephaestus, a former deity who has betrayed them. From there, he is resurrected as a Christian and finds himself on a journey back to Rome, on a mission to stop the spread of Christianity, while crossing paths with the new emperor, Lucius. The film would have ended with Maximus cursed to live for eternity, with a montage of the soldier fighting through the Crusades, World War II and the Vietnam War, finally revealing a modern Maximus working at the Pentagon in Washington. The studio decided not to pursue this version, but the script is available to read online.
Emperor Geta: The gods have SPOKEN!
Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode of July 3, 2024 (2024). I watched the premiere in Sydney. The story is richer and more emotional than the first. Everyone’s acting is fantastic, Paul did a wonderful job! Denzel has a great talent for comedy and contributed a lot of funny storylines. I personally think it’s not bloody at all. There are a lot of fight scenes and it’s very good.
To sum up the shortcomings: 1
The ending is very emotional and there are a lot of touching parts. Some dialogue changes in the editing too frequent. I personally don’t like this method of editing. I prefer to use a slightly longer shot to focus on one person (preferably the main character) so that I can capture the slight changes in the person’s face during the dialogue. 2. The sea water in front is a little too real to make it look fake. The sea water is too blue and perfect, which often has the opposite effect.
(I’m not sure about that) p
3. As for historical rationality, I don’t think people at that time had a certain understanding of the concept and appearance of the god of death. S. This is a screenplay adapted from the story. There is no need to worry about the originality of the screenplay. Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether the second one is a remake of the first one. People say they want to see a sequel but don’t want the screenplay to be too related to the previous one.
This statement in itself is contradictory
If we need to see a completely different story, then we should list it as an original screenplay. But the second one clearly states that it is an adaptation. You can judge the adaptation of the screenplay, but if you are not satisfied with its originality, perhaps you should rewrite the history book.
