Also, after escaping from the confines of the gladiatorial prison, Maximus rides headlong to Spain and to his estate where his wife and son await his safe return. But unfortunately, upon reaching home, Maximus discovers that his wife and son have been crucified and that their bodies have been burned. In this scene, Crowe expresses the emotional outrage of a true father and husband, a man utterly dedicated to his family and...
Once again, without relying upon dialog, Crowe manages to bring to the surface an outpouring of true human grief which is clearly reflected in his face and eyes.

Eastwood marches to his own drummer, often eschewing the Hollywood publicity and attention so many other personalities crave. He lives in Northern California, rarely gives interviews, and avoids the spotlight whenever possible. In fact, his personal of the cultural loner and reluctant hero on the screen seems to fit him perfectly off the screen, as well.
