This year marks 20 years from the date of the premiere of the film "Gladiator" director Ridley Scott. A film telling about the adventures of Maximus Dezim Meridium performed by Russell Crowe, over the years acquired the status of a cult. Therefore, during an interview with Connie Nielsen, dedicated to her last film, the science fiction thriller "Marine Parasites", it could not help but ask about the "gladiator", where she played the main female role. In a conversation with a journalist, Nielsen said that she was remembered by the most:
My brightest memory of the picture is the first appearance on the set. I arrived in Malta, where the film was shot. Ridley Scott met me in the middle of the square, barely satisfied with the cigar and looking scary satisfied, and a copy of the Colosseum was treated behind him. I experienced shock from the splendor that he created and his team.
All that Ridley Scott needs to create masterpieces is a cigar, his team and the desired weather on the set. But there was another factor that allows Scott to create such films like "Gladiator", "Running on the blade", "A set of lies" and "Martian". Connie Nielsen says:
Just he knows how to gather for shooting incredibly talented people. And he is constantly engaged in finding new talents. In addition, it is very natural. He does exactly what should do. With these, with these unchanged cigar and a smile, he managed to manage thousands of things at the same time, while maintaining complete calm.
