Every great story requires a villain which is often achieved by having them wear black. Darth Vader is a good example. Here Commodus in the final scene wears white. His “busy little bee” scene is almost unbearable to watch. Juaquin plays him, under the direction of Ridley Scott, with the complexity of a disturbed mind. I have watched this movie over and over and though I cannot say why exactly, I am guessing that it is the way the actors all contribute towards its masterful message, “What we do in life, echoes in eternity.”
Phoenix was unforgettable in Return To Paradise. Brilliant actor.
