I’m going to use bullet points just to change things up.
- Russell Crowe is a respected dude in the Roman Army
- Joaquin Phoenix takes a disliking to him and gets him kicked out of the army after Richard Harris says Phoenix is not going to be emperor anymore
- Phoenix finds a way to get Russell Crowe out of the army so he has to change careers.
- Phoenix kills Richard Harris.
- All Russell Crowe wanted to do was go home.
- Once he got home his kid and wife were unnecessarily crucified.
- Phoenix did not need to fatally wound Russell Crowe before the final battle.
- It was not necessary for Russell Crowe to die. However, he had nothing to go home to.
- Over all, good use of time.
