“A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of 'Gladiator'
This volume adds to previous historical and political studies about 'Gladiator' with essays about the movie’s relation to pop culture and contemporary discourses. It not only relates 'Gladiator' to traditional cinema aspects such as heroism, music, acting, studio culture, and visual effects, but it also connects the film to sports, religion, and the environment, expanding the ways in which the film can be evaluated by modern audiences. The volume can be read by individuals or in classroom settings, especially as a recommended text for students studying the ancient world in film.

For instance, partners drew on collective rather than individualistic understandings of biology to hope that men's performance of “modern” masculinities, marriage, and healthcare via HPV research would aid groups ranging from church congregations to ...

Non soltanto perché vuole collezionare più esperienze possibili in meno di quarantotto ore - la prima sbronza, la prima volta, e il primo tradimento - ma anche perché le cose sembrano essersi im...
