Nitpick Description


Submitted by Nitpicker : 13797
Movie : Gladiator - 2000
Nitpick Category : Plot
Approximate time of Nitpick : 1/4 of the way through
Summary : Magically reappearing cuirass (Refuted)
Detail : In the early scenes we see Maximus is a black and silver cuirass (the leather and metal breastplate). He is still wearing it in the scene <a href="http://www.wheretoinvestnow.net" alt="Where To Invest Money" target="_blank">where</a> he is to be executed in the forest. When he escapes from the place of his planned execution, Maximus flees from Germania to Spain (as others have correctly noted, travelling hundreds of miles in seemingly a few days at most), arriving wearing only a brown smock. Apparently, he has lost his cuirass some<a href="http://www.wheretoinvestnow.net" alt="Where To Invest Money" target="_blank">where</a> between Germania and Spain. However, Proximo later gives him that same cuirass, and Maximus identifies it to young Luicius as being his. How did Proximo get his hands on it?

Summary:

wrong

Detail :

It is not the same cuirass, actually, it completely different from the one he uses in battle. The cuirass Proximo gives Maximus is probably the one he used when he was a gladiator. Look carefully at the scene where they arrive to the coliseum, and Proximo kisses the feet of a statue. The cuirass worn be Maximus is very similar to the one worn by the statue.
