So I'm 45 now but first watched it when I was around 16 and it's crazy how completely different I processed the movie.

It shows how much of an actor he truly is and devotes himself to a film, that even in the interview for the film, he STILL had an American accent at that point! Unreal.

great short and informative video

100% earned, no f*ckin+g questioan, at all. I love stories books, movies wahtever, and I was lucky being able to watch Gladiator at the cinema a couple of times and, as I said, this is and will ever be one of the most epic experiences, which I had with stories of either kind. Absolutley sure, just the memories now 25years back then, still sends shivers down my spine, and being completley goosebumped. Thank you Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe, Mrs. Nielsen and Joanquin Phönix for there outstand work by creating one of the greatest masterpieces ever, even more if I draw an line, regarding just movies. Thank you so much!!!

That load must have been insane😅

You can always be thinner,looking better

He deserved the Oscar and like some critic said he raised the bar for other actors

Yes he did

A group of professionally trained psychiatrists studied 400 movies and identified 126 psychopathic characters. The amazing thing is I bet Javier Bardem probably didn’t do a fraction of that and still knocked that role out the park.

_AUTISTS ARE NOT GOOD AT PRETENDING; AUTISTS MUST DEVELOP A PERSONA IN ORDER TO PERFORM WELL, BOTH, IN LIFE, AND ON STAGE; LIFE IS A STAGE._

Its a travesty that you didnt mention his physical shape in the movie and how he got there with workout.

Maybe Ridley Scott thought that the first part without a script led to success, and wanted to repeat that with Part 2?! That would explain why the film was such an epic fail.... Paul Mescal couldn't deliver that.

I didn't know the script had so little dialogue. That in mind is Russell Crowe's performance even better, and he definitely deserves the Oscar!

I think Russell Crowe's physique fit the role perfectly. The physique of Paul Mescal is simply too much, too defined. Which gym should Lucius have visited in Africa? Who was his personal trainer? Who created his training and his meal plan, and who cooked that for him? I mean, what would a man have done to train back then? I can imagine he would have dragged tree trunks, carried water buckets and stuff like that. Paul Mescal looks like he spends 3 hours every day with his personal trainer at the gym in Gladiator 2. He looks like a trainer will train with him on the most modern equipment, including protein shakes and everything available to the modern man in 2024. But how realistic is it that Lucius had all this at his disposal?? Not very realistic. I think Russell Crowe looked more like a Roman who does a lot to stay fit and otherwise just works physically. My brother-in-law was a mason, who was also quite strong. I can imagine that a Roman who does like Maximus in film, mainly physical work on the battlefield and on his farm, would have looked more like Maximus.

jack nicholson couldn't do this if they gave him all the money in the world since he works for money only al pacino? mightve been able to do it but he would've probably died brad pitt is a fugazi so is bradley cooper and collin farrel edward norton could've done it but he is too emotional Ethan hawk might've been able to do it but probably woulve refused i don't think anyone could've done what almighty christian bale did

Cary Grant 'classically trained?' Before Hollywood, he was in vaudeville.

RC = Maximus, brings humanity to a hero

He is Real life camelon❤

thank god I'm only 173cm tall. I weight about 2-3kg less than Trevor Reznik and I still have a belly. If I was 180-190cm I would look like a skeleton lol

Fun Fact: The director never told Christian Bale to lose any weight, not even one pound. He admitted that he didn’t want to be responsible for putting Christian Bale's health at risk, despite Christian Bale being up to the challenge. They were going to use special effects to give him a gaunt appearance.

The kind of film you definitely watch a few times

Eu quero ver máximus Russell crowe em outro filme épico como foi gradiador a presença Russell crowe a emoção que ele passa o choro que faz você chora junto a música a história e tudo magnífico e a interpretação de Russell crowe brilhante espetacular

Eu amo essa filme Maximus e um general e um gradiador emocionante espetacular pode até imitar mais igual máximus somente ele Russell crowe espetacular magnífico brilhante máximus

"you can always be thinner, look better" -christian bale

He deserved ten oscars for that role one of the best films ever made

Everybodys an actor

Not sure if anyone commented on it, but in the book there is sections describing Antons appearance, he wears ostrich skin boots, pressed jeans, his shirt is untucked at least in one scene but has shirt pockets, he wore sunglasses in a segment and didn't have a jacket when outside with agents in the desert. He was also described twice as having blue eyes, once having white skin, medium build, late thirties, a foreign cologne that had a medicinal edge as well as seeming serene. -A book nerd lol (That being said, Javiar is my favorite actor and no actor could've pulled this role off any better regardless of description.)

Let’s see Paul’s Allen Diet

Christian "The Chameleon" Bale

I like to believe the reason he wanted to lose more weight is because he actually developed anorexia or maybe he wanted to see how far he could go with his method acting. I’m sure it’s both and that’s Insane!!

Marlon Brando is a genius of acting!!! Just like Alain Delon. There is no one who could surpass them. There were many good actors, But these two have not yet been conquered by anyone like Chomolungma.

Spoilers. Ouch.

Great performance and movie

I’m at 126, almost there

Christian bale is the best so dedicated to every role he does the machinist was a master peace crazy what lengths actors will go to to play the characters they sigh on to play

Yes he deserved it, he is a brilliant actor that put his all into,. I love him

In that off set interview alone he looks fucked up, unreal dedication

imagine if Bale had played captian America. he would have refused cgi lmao

Top ten in my book.❤

The Machinist DIET: WATER 1 CUP of BLACK COFFEE CIGARRETTES WHISKEY 1 APPLE 1 TIN of TUNA

This is NOT true. Brando s guru teacher was STELLA ADLER. NOT THE METHOD OR STRASBERG WHO HE LOATHED.

Wonderful video I enjoyed it very much. ❤🎉

Very serious acting in a poorly acted show. And of course Cox!!

Sarah ❤ I love Shiv and Tom

Don't worry about calling him "Brickle". If it makes you feel any better, I used to tell people that Dracula can't wet.

Love her

❤

Just Imigine Christian Bale is given the role of a child and just deages

This is the reason our dog is named Stella- 😆 And wow! Marlon Brando was quite gorgeous in his day! ❤

We are entertained for sure.
