Resemblance to Rome (HBO)
Finally got around to watching this film and loved it. I actually ended up watching it twice in a row.
One thing that I couldn't get out of my head however was how much Antonius and Jons reminded me of Kevin McKidd (Lucius) and Ray Stevenson (Titus) in HBO's Rome.
They almost look exactly alike, especially Jons and Titus. Plus the dynamic in the pairing is similar. Antonius and Lucius are the stern military generals that both have a sense of melancholy. Jons and Titus are the jovial foot soldiers that don't always see eye to eye with their partner but go along with them because of some level of respect.
Anyone else get the same impression?
