GLADIATOR 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY RIDLEY SCOTT 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Gladiator (2000), directed by Ridley Scott, is an epic historical drama set in ancient Rome. The film follows Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe), a betrayed Roman general who is reduced to slavery and forced to fight as a gladiator. Seeking revenge for the brutal murder of his family and the wrongful death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Maximus rises through the gladiatorial ranks. The film explores themes of loyalty, vengeance, justice, and the corrupting influence of power. With intense action sequences and emotional depth, Gladiator is both a tale of personal redemption and a critique of political tyranny. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Joaquin Phoenix improvised his scream of ‘Am I not merciful?’ during a scene with Connie Nielsen, who was genuinely frightened by the unexpected outburst.” 
  
“The score by Hans Zimmer for *Gladiator* became one of the bestselling movie soundtracks of all time.” 
  
“The signet ring worn by Connie Nielsen’s character was a real antique discovered in a shop, dating back over 2,000 years.” 
  
“Maximus’ tattoo, ‘SPQR,’ stands for ‘Senatus Populusque Romanus,’ meaning ‘The Senate and the Roman People,’ which was a famous slogan of Rome.” 
  
“Russell Crowe's portrayal of Maximus in *Gladiator* is considered one of his best performances, earning him the Academy Award for Best Actor.”

Sweet Dreams

Rick Telander

"Sweet Dreams'' consists of 42 original poems with bedtime, sleep, and dreaming as their central themes.  The poems are traditional in form  and follow rhyme and meter, done in in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses.         Topics include moonlit nights, snowy days, dreams of dinosaurs in the bedroom, annoyance at a Key West rooster crowing all night, what it would be like to wake up as a worm, the oddness of a fever ailment, gazing at autumn leaves from a gently rocking hammock, the comforting protection of an unseen guardian angel, and fancies like "The Softest Bed'' in which a child envisions himself curling up, wrapping himself in his warm, bushy tail, and sleeping like a fox.         Started when Telander himself was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this  poetry collection spoken by the author is a work of caring for boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod.          Sweet Dreams will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe children of all ages before sleep.  It's soothing for adults, too, since all of us do, indeed, sleep.
