I really enjoyed the way this film drew from historical figures of the distant past and made connections to the origins of the modern day mafia. This parallel was well drawn in this film-short without ever being heavy handed. I would love to see an expanded version of this piece where these threads can be more fully explored...Imagine, the origins of the modern day mob in the backdrop of an epic war during the ancient Roman period. It would a cross between "The Godfather" and "Gladiator." How do fighting men respond to a political atmosphere riddled with corruption and incompetence? We would finally have an epic war story that has some thoughtful integrity behind it!
