Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:
‘They failed, and they failed because they didn’t understand what made the first film so successful: it had a moral core. Here’s the thing, most people want that. On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core. All guys want to be that man who can stay that strong, and all women want a man who can love them in that way.’
@RichOToole This makes so much sense. Growing up in a small town in SE NM, I only ever flew into DFW a few times. The first time I flew for work as an adult somewhere other than Houston or DFW, I was like damn these cities are way more condensed.
