The hero/protagonist of course will be 'the one' of those, that is about to rise...and the narrator/Anthony Hopkins character placing the bets could be friend or foe - Gladiator series, for fans!
@@scottcarey5635 I know, and Peacock TV is about the last network that can make a compelling tv show. lol even the text graphic in this trailer were high school presentation level of bad
Interesting. One thing that never or rarely is showcased on these Roman series or movies is how extremely religious or ritualistic the Romans were, basically almost all their activities involved some ritual, dedication, procession, you name it. Watching fantasies alone you would infer that they didn't care about none of these and they were pure orgies and debauchery: yes, this happened, but in the same way Hollywood actors (and directors and producers) do it; posing a public moral for the public and having another in private. Because the general people had the ethical standards (adapted to a warrior culture, that is, a culture that had war atop of their cultural priorities). This is why one of the many reasons that was theorized as the fall of the Roman Empire was a change of religion, given that Christianity had another axis of understanding social and religious dynamics (what was easier because Christianity entered mainly into an Empire that already had taken as much land as they could).
You mean like his Best Actor Oscar winning performance in the excellent movie The Father from 2020? Possibly the greatest performance of his entire career. Or do you mean his Oscar-nominated performance playing Pope Benedict in The Two Popes from the year before that? Perhaps you mean his Emmy-nominated performance in the Westworld series? Or his movie that's currently out, the Holocaust film One Life, where he's received rave reviews? His strong take on King Lear? Or The Dresser? Or earlier on, the great versatility he showed in the charming The World's Fastest Indian? If Those About to Die is a fraction as good, it will still be well worth watching.
