This is very disappointing to me, but I am not surprised. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies of all time. Aside from all the great action sequences in that movie, the main themes of that movie are Maximus’ love of family and his desire to save Rome and return it to a republican form of government.
I saw another tweet from Crowe favorable to Obama about a month ago. So, this isn’t the first time I felt disappointment in him. But, I learned a long time ago, that “moonbattery” is endemic to the actor and musician world. I try to enjoy them as entertainers and forget their uninformed ramblings. If their ramblings are too offensive, I can always choose not patronize any of their movies or listen to any of their music.
Gladiator is one of my favorites as well. I care more about the characters in the movies than the actors. Movies are made by hundreds of people, and I doubt they are all whacko libs.
