N2  - 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>
