Paul Mescal

Is Paul Mescal's style too artistic?

I know his acting is great, and I really enjoy his Aftersun, but seeing him in Gladiator2, it’s hard to imagine him winning==

beaver: yes, hard to believe, maybe still remember his role in aftersun

Tell Me Your Gladiator 2 First Reactions

I'm not sure if such a classic film should have a sequel. A sequel might ruin this classic. But fortunately, it seems that the movie's reviews are pretty good.

Chandler_AH: No matter what, Ridley Scott’s movies are always a must-watch for me. I mean, the guy’s still making films at his age—that’s seriously impressive!

Gladiator II: What is Ridley Scott Up To?

Ridley Scott 's Gladiator II is more than just a sequel; it’s a testament to his audacious approach to filmmaking. At 86, Scott continues to churn out epics with both grandeur and divisiveness, maintaining his reputation as a director who thrives on bold choices. This film is no exception, offering a mix of bombastic spectacle, thought-provoking themes, and occasional narrative missteps. Set 16 years after the events of Gladiator (2000), the film introduces us to Lucius Verus, played by Paul Mes

Gladiator II: What is Ridley Scott Up To?

Gladiator II Gives Us Bread and Circuses, but is That Enough?

Twenty-four years after the original, Ridley Scott returns to the Roman Empire with Gladiator II, this time enrolling Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington to bring the great civilization back to the silver screen. Gladiator II is loaded with visually stunning scenes and top-notch action, but it struggles to develop an interesting plot that isn’t full of simplistic, repetitive dialogue. This time around, Mescal is our champion. He plays Lucius (aka Hanno), the son of Russell Crowe’s Ma

Paul Mescal: The Quiet Star of a New Era

Paul Mescal stands out as an actor who quietly yet powerfully carves his own path. Unlike the loud, in-your-face stars who seem to exist as much in tabloids as they do on screen, Mescal is a study in restraint. He doesn't need flashy interviews or an army of social media posts to command attention. His craft speaks for itself—an understated brilliance that has seen him transform into the leading man of a new cinematic era. In recent years, Mescal has become synonymous with heartbreak. Whether it

Do We Need Gladiators Anymore?

Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II is just around the corner (by the time I was writing this), and I can’t say I’m not intrigued. But as I sit here, freshly acquainted with the original 2000 Gladiator—yes, it took me 24 years to finally watch it—I’m left wondering if we truly need another grand tale of revenge, honor, and heroism in 2024. Let me make one thing clear: Gladiator is a great movie. The sweeping battles, Hans Zimmer’s hauntingly beautiful score, Russell Crowe’s magnetic performance—there’s

Moving and the Thin Line Between "Deliberate" and "Coincidental"

Paul Mescal: The Quiet Star of a New Era

Paul Mescal is not Russell Crowe , but he is the star of a new era. Paul Mescal has never exploited his fame or overexposed himself; instead, he has chosen to focus on his craft, fully immersing himself in his roles. In recent years, Paul Mescal has appeared in every film that has left a lasting impression on me and broken my heart. I’m grateful to have a young, talented, serious actor who wholeheartedly supports independent film with both his body and soul. HE IS REMARKABLE!!!

marvelousmars: Somehow I haven't watched anything with him in it yet - thanks for reminding me to get on that! I think a growing minority of new celebrities are starting to care more about quality and craft than fame (like Chappell Roan), and I want to support that as much as I can.

Gladiator 2: Excess and indulgence galore... but still fun if you're willing to go along with the ride. It really feels like there was a pretty great movie in there somewhere, and Denzel gives a fantastic performance, but the movie literally jumps the shark(s) about halfway through.

marvelousmars: I keep seeing people talk about this movie, so I was still kind of considering watching it even though it's not a genre I have any interest in. I think you've just saved me the time, though, so thanks hahaha
