 Gladiator has ridiculously indepth trivia & goofs :

quote:


When Maximus grieves his dead wife and son, a Bouganvillea flower is on the grave. Bougainvillea flowers were discovered in Brazil in 1768.


Maximus says "Unleash Hell!" Though Hell may not exist in his religion, he might have been aware of the concept, and used the word for rhetorical value. Since the movie is in modern English, "Hell" could be the modern translation of a Latin word for a burning, deadly place. It could also be a translation of the Greek word Hades, which the Romans also used.

Locks as portrayed in the movie were not yet invented.


I do wonder what the mindset of these people is like. Who knows so much about trivia, but feels the need to spend time sniffing it out in films to add to IMDB?
