==Conclusion and Accuracy==
There were many historical inaccuracies in the film and some of the possibly accurate events borrow from less than certain sources. In fact, many historians who were hired to advise on the movie quit or refused to be given credits because of the many historical inaccuracies the final version had. Nevertheless, as with most historical dramas, this movie was about entertainment than historical narrative. The general narrative of a somewhat crazy emperor in the form of Commodus embellishing in gladiator games was true and in fact reality was more outrageous than what was shown in the film, as the emperor often made himself into a gladiator and fought numerous contests with animals and others, such as wounded gladiators.
