Andrew Neil bemoaned Gladiator 2 going super-woke and ended up schooled into next year
Andrew Neil’s been watching Gladiator 2 and we’re sad to say he wasn’t impressed by Ridley Scott’s swords and sandals epic.
Nothing to do with the acting or the action – well, not that he said – but because it’s apparently gone woke. Not just woke, but super-woke!
Because every time someone had a drink of something proper, this happened.
Except it wasn’t an experience shared by a great many people who have also seen the film and took the time to reply. Because the version the former GB News man watched wasn’t entirely the same as the one they saw.
These on-screen warnings about alcohol are a legal requirement in India, not the UK – which rather begs the question of how Andrew has been watching Gladiator 2… https://t.co/QB86rK6qaQ

Andrew Neil watched a dodgy copy of Gladiator 2 from India and is now convinced that the film includes an alcohol warning as an artistic choice pic.twitter.com/UVbgQP495O

We’re sure there’s an entirely innocent explanation, obviously – maybe he was watching in India? – and more than one way of how this could have happened.
But still rather odd, you might think, to believe – or suggest – that such a warning really would come up on every time someone had a glass of wine.
I must have been drunk because I missed that bit

I watched the movie at the cinema (twice) in QLD, Australia there was no such warning on the screen.

That’s just the TV in the care home, Andrew.

Are you in India? That's the only place these warnings show up

Every time the message pops up take a drink, it’s a new drinking game

To conclude …
