Gladiator II: A Return to the Sands of the Colosseum!
In the distant yet somehow close year of 2000, Gladiator burst into cinemas like a storm, earning box office glory and a rain of Oscars while solidifying Russell Crowe’s career. Ridley Scott managed to enthrall audiences with the epic tale of Maximus Decimus Meridius. The film’s monumental success resurrected the peplum genre, leading to a cascade of sword-and-sandal films such as Troy, Alexander, 300, and King Arthur. Even video games weren’t left untouched, with Shadow of Rome and the now-iconic God of War taking up the gladiatorial torch.

Tyson Vs Paul; From Legend to Parody. The Tyson-Paul Ring fight-dance Disaster”
The boxing legend, Mike Tyson, returned to the ring after years of absence, and the result was an event which got everyone talking—but certainly not for the right reasons.

Or in video games like Halo, where AI takes on the dual role of humanity’s defender or its potential enemy. But what would happen if artificial intelligence were truly the devil, intent on subjugating humanity?

Joker: Folie à Deux et les folies d’un réalisateur
Two very different Jokers, from several perspectives, starting with the explosive box office success at the Venice Film Festival of the first film, compared to the colossal disappointment of the second. This was not what anyone had signed up for. The first film left the stage with a Golden Lion and Joaquin Phoenix pocketing an Oscar for Best Actor. Quite the curtain call. The second? Well, it barely managed to keep the audience awake, let alone intrigued.

Social media platforms are unquestionably a modern track to connect and communicate with others in real time with a wide audience.
