The comparisons are the exact same premise, simply one MAIN character is real, and the other is not. The surrounding cast of each were all real people as well, as were the events/world surrounding the things that happened in each.

Aurelius, Commodus and Lucilla were all real. As far as I am aware everyone and everything else in Gladiator is a composite of a huge array of people, places, events and entirely made up facts which have been put together in order to create a fictional story which only vaguely pertains to any real chain of events, if any, and is in no way a representation of history 'as it happened'. That is why I see a distinction.

Now seriously, can you get over me not wanting to stick my tongue in Mel Gibson's anus?
