abstract="Ridley Scott's 2000 film         Gladiator presents a view of the transition        from dictatorship to the republic that one also finds in the        discourses of certain political leaders today. I argue that we can        learn about violence and the founding of a republic from an analysis        and, especially, a critique of Gladiator.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
