@@Dr.Mehdi93 when someone grows too comfortable or complacent in good times, they may start to believe that prosperity is permanent or that life should be free from hardship. This "deception" by prosperity can make it harder for them to cope when difficult times inevitably arrive, as they are unprepared to face life's natural ups and downs.
When I watch that scene, I think of my brother. He's a total POS, but I really feel like it's to a large degree because of how my father treated him while he was young. There is nothing I can ever do to change either of them, but that is what I think of when I see that scene. I hate it....
@Tomara632 Really?... Can you name a single of those men? Because, forgive my cynicism, I don't know a single leader who hasn't become a leader without crushing or tricking his adversaries! This movie is nothing but fantasy.
@afonsodeportugal one could argue that Marcus Aurelius didn't seek to become an emperor. He was adopted by an emperor and groom to be one the best emperor Rome had! Though the movie didn't quite go to detail about his life. You could read his mediation.
@@lt.danicecream Those who do not seek power will always be crushed by those with power. Look at Biden. Look at Trudeau. Look at Putin. Look at Ji Xinping. Look at Macron. Look at Ursula von der Leyen. We all have the duty to become as powerful as we possibly can. The alternative is to condemn our children to lesser lives at the hands of those who already have power.
I remember being 10 years old, we'd just seen Gladiator in cinema (I'd told my parents it was the best film I'd seen up til that point), and my step-sister and I were on a car ride back from our weekly McDonalds kinda comatose/asleep from junk food. My parents were talking about Russell Crowe saying on TV how cheesy that line was and only he could have pulled it off, and how arrogant he was for saying that, but then also saying "well... it's true tbf- only he could pull that off that well". Randomly vivid memory for me. It's true, at that time Russell Crowe was like a new breed of charismatic actor.
Not sure I deserved your name calling especially since I was simply commenting on how I felt about this video, but hey, if you're that fucking miserable of a person then good on you I guess.@@andrewyaden5209
"Ahhh Home...tell me about your Home." I have that privilege to have a place like this. Having a home somewhere, is having a place to return, to sleep, it's an identity, doesn't have to be material, it's a place were you are safe.
just a suggestion, watch Braveheart, you won't have the nostalgia of an 11 year old but it is probably a more powerful film in the same category. PS i also love Gladiator
I prefer Gladiator, but Braveheart is also excellent. Just my opinion. My wife's never seen it. She's from Madagascar so I get to show here a lot of movies. Cheers@@Sithlug
I'm pretty sure it just dies when people forget and most of our lives and what we did dies with us. I bet most of your life is forgotten even by you before you die. You can remember every memory.. soo...
If you want to show any film to your son. To show him what honour and principle means in a real man. This is his guide. A film that has everything to explain what it means to be a man.
This is a shakespear level story where good and evil are clearly visible with music that is on one level with Wagner or Beethoven and pictures as powerful as any painting. The best movie that I have ever seen.
When I was going thru the hardest moment of my life, my father said to me: "Fight, son, fight, fight! Don't give up!" And I didn't gave up. So guys, if you get through some hard times, DON'T GIVE UP. They'll eventually pass. Don't. Give. Up!
Win lose or draw never stop fighting, fighting is what saves our life, if not it saves our soul. I can die but will never give up my soul. Fight to the end, no matter the outcome, you win, even if you die. Better to die fighting than to live running. What you do n life lives in eternity, better words never spoken. We all die, how you die is your choice.
My father Luigi is from Roma and growing up he would play this movie all the time. I would watch with him, he’s watched it over 20 times . Ti amo papà ❤️ the best movie ever made
Maximus commanded respect through his principles and actions. Commodus commanded obedience through fear to fuel his ego even though he got what he wanted briefly he was still a wanker. MASTERPIECE. Great edit BTW.
Well said. Many leaders and in fact whole societies command through fear these days. And it is usually not fear of physical violence, but a palpable fearsome energy that tells people to stay in line, don't upset the apple cart, and being an outcast is worse than death. As someone that has been (and probably still is) an outcast, no it is not. As a Stoic, I see every hardship I have endured as an opportunity to learn. And what I have learned is that people may be kept in line by fear, but they yearn for people & ideas that are unmovable and unbreakable in the face of whatever storm comes. Make sure your deeds align with your principles, and if they do: nothing made by man can stop you.
For the short bit Richard Harris was in the movie. I personally believe was some of the greatest acting done by any character ever. Whether minor or major role. His voice alone sends shivers let alone the sublime lines they gave him. Absolute magic.
I know it's not how this scene goes in the movie, but I am especially touched by the short scene here where Maximus touches the soil and looks at the old war dog. The way the dog looks at him, this dog that has seen the same horrors as him. This dog that bears the same scars as him. This dog that knows this soil as well as him. A short glimpse of mutual understanding, of respect, and piety.
The end of 90's and the beginning of XXI-century was the best time for cinematography, don't try to change my mind. The CGI wasn't perfect, but the atmosphere allowed you to feel every setting - Ancient Rome (Gladiator), Persia and Macedonia (Alexander), the Caribbean (Pirates of the Caribbean), World War II (Saving Private Ryan), or fantasy movies like Jurassic Park, Terminator, Waterworld and more, literally everything. They don't make good movies like this anymore. We get empty shells shot on a green screen made in a year, and in addition boring, devoid of depth, sense and emotions. Btw. amazing montage, thank you for this video!
Oscar committee has a simple principle : Select the best movie that has been submitted/recommended by groups/lobbies. If you expected Oscars to go in search of good movies/actors/directors, thats poor thinking. Ridley Scott probably did not lobby hard.
the Oscars are Shite.....full of rubbish.....only need to look at Val Kilmer in Tombstone not winning an Oscar to be beaten by some nonsense......Ban it....
I believe the director of Traffic won that year. He was nominated for 2 films. Along with Ridley Scott for Gladiator and Ang Lee for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Gladiator, Traffic, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were all great films. My favorite of the 3 was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Saw a quote the other day and I feel like it fits this movie perfectly “A king stood upon his throne with no heir so called forth his servants His finest general His younger brother His sisters son And all his advisors kneeled before him He stood silent and judged each one accordingly finally he stopped and went “Step forward plate-bearer” His servant who stood at the door looked up and stood shocked “Come! come!” Said the king Carefully and cautiously he eased forward till he was at the kings feet he kneeled and king raised him took off his crown and placed it within his hands “It’s I should be kneeling to you now!” The king remarked The young servant scoffed “But my lord I don’t want the crown I don’t know what to do with such power” The king smiled and whispered into his ear “That is why you are the only one deserving of it”
Great fiction. But in real life this servant is as good as dead. Power is not a joke or poetry, but real as fuck. The crown will destroy the bearer if he is not wise, brave… and lucky
90s holliwood movie fiction. Being lowest in the hiererchy does not mean you will be just when you are on the top, it just means that you're at the bottom. If you're placed to the top you will have to navigate a responsibility you have no experience in. This is romantic but not true. However, if you find someone exceptional in the bottom of the hiererchy they should be given the chance of proving themselves to the top - as all others. Would require a lot of learning and reflections even if you have potential though.
when he grabs the dirt while the dog looks at him is my favorite clip. It really portrays his trust with mother nature and the dogs recognition. I believe that is the commonality between humans and animals, the connection and trust with the earth.
@@EscathonEdits I'm going through some really bad breakup right now and this movie and your video helped me not to fall and to stay strong and keep fighting So I want to thank you brother, I think I will go through it
One of the most greatest movies ever made in my opinion. The story, the actors all flow beautifully together and Russel as well as Joquin out done them selves with their superb acting. ❤
One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. I have seen it over 30 times. A simple MASTERPIECE. This is what our age needs!! ALL GLORY TO GLADIATOR!! Take me back to that time, let me die in glory!!!! HAIL!!!!!
Best movie ever, Maximus is the man every real man will want to be. Lucilla: Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him. Gracchus: Who will help me carry him? nice video.
This movie means so much for me. It helped so much in my life and gave me a different perspective of life. I used to be angry and react almost at the ones who wronged me and time after time watching this movie knowing all the lines by heart, I learned so much. How to become a more relaxed person and endure the outcome of whatever happens to calculate my thoughts and always react while relaxed, but not only that. This movie taught so many things. Besides the great acting, the great shots and the dialogue, and OMG, the soundtrack.

I watched this as a kid, younger than 10, under a wooden framed couch side table late at night while the adults watched this new movie at the time. Had to crawl quietly to get under the table so they wouldn't notice. Intrigue and trauma are what I got from that night. Ever since, it has been one of my favorite movies. Everything about it was phenomenal. Sheet mightve been a big influence on my life when I think about it now.
Watching this and getting goosebumps man, makes a grown man emotional how much passion and pride this shows.. What a real man looks like, love this movie
I think this is the best short summary of the film I have ever seen and the music fits perfectly. It's one of my favorite movies ever made and this does it complete justice 15/10*
Ce film est le meilleur jamais produit après 2000... The actors, the scenario, the score...Perfection in entertainement! Je pleure encore a chaque fois et même mon fils pleure.❤

Brilliant edit man! I forgot how sad but epic this movie is. It’s one of my favourites. It has a great story and you were able to capture it in 6 minutes. 👏
One of my most rapid subs. This film hits very personally to me as well, I too am a stoic and a great admirer of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus. Glory to you, brother. I look forward to seeing your other work and future achievements with great enthusiasm. ”A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.” -Marcus Aurelius
Thank you very much, my fellow Stoic traveler. I'm glad you enjoyed this! More to come, and if you're interested, check out the description or my channels tab on my TH-cam page, there you'll find my second channel which is just called "Escathon", where I'll be posting quite a bit more Stoicism content, one releasing on the coming days.
@@marcuskeil420 Indeed. I am both a Stoic & a Follower of Christ. And since I am both, I believe it isn't enough to say you believe in the Son of Man, you must attempt to walk his path. In whatever way that presents itself in your individual journey. Much like the Early Christians did.
This movie motivated my father to fight through pain when diagnosed with cancer. Accepting fate, remaining stoic and embracing the reality of debilitation with grace and strength until the end.
It was actually quoted by his emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Quite cool to see Maximus, his General, use that quote as it shows what respect he had for his emperor.
How much I love this movie! When it first came out I watched it with my sister! It was epic and that song at the end we just got stuck in there forever!! My sister was murdered two years later and I think I've never managed to set myself free of rage like the song chanted at the end of the movie nor could I ever find my way through fields of peace that are able to reunite us again!
I visited the colousseum in Rome today and i cant put into words how i felt the weight of history walking around this amazing structure and standing there seeing the arena.
ive seen the movie countless times, and i just realized at 1:04, Maximus calls Caesar by his given name. that goes to show the comfortable and almost familial relationship they had.
This video does not have any more power over my soul and emotions. I used to cry when I watched this video. But by releasing the pain from the trauma that this video represents throughout my childhood into adult is healed. Therefore, it is no longer a delusion that holds my mind captive.
Oh my God ! Such strengthen of character , such glorious destiny , such valour and purpose, such great sense of duty. Such a divine mandate. ❤ Get's me all the time. For some reason, Gladiator gives me or makes me realise all the time of our greater purpose in life even upto death. That's the best way I can put it in words - otherwise I have no words. Eternally epic - Love from Zambia ❤🇿🇲
This movie is based lovely on Cincinatus. A modest farmer called upon to become emporer to protect Rome. After he reorganized and saved Rome he simply gave up the emporership and returned to his farm.
All that was - Rome and such - becomes dust, but we know eternity in our hearts, and it pulls each of us to something that forever remains truly beautiful.

“A king stood upon his throne with no heir so called forth his servants
His finest general
His younger brother
His sisters son
And all his advisors kneeled before him
He stood silent and judged each one accordingly finally he stopped and went
“Step forward plate-bearer”
His servant who stood at the door looked up and stood shocked
“Come! come!”
Said the king
Carefully and cautiously he eased forward till he was at the kings feet he kneeled and king raised him took off his crown and placed it within his hands
“It’s I should be kneeling to you now!”
The king remarked
The young servant scoffed
“But my lord I don’t want the crown I don’t know what to do with such power”
The king smiled and whispered into his ear
“That is why you are the only one deserving of it”
Yes but when Alexander the Great was asked to whom his kingdom should be given he replied “Give it to the Strong “

when he grabs the dirt while the dog looks at him is my favorite clip. It really portrays his trust with mother nature and the dogs recognition. I believe that is the commonality between humans and animals, the connection and trust with the earth.
I like that
😁⛩🕋⛩😁
One of best movies ever, stoicism at its best.
Well said!
@@EscathonEdits I'm going through some really bad breakup right now and this movie and your video helped me not to fall and to stay strong and keep fighting
So I want to thank you brother, I think I will go through it
@@Igor-my6ml 💪❤️✊continue bro you will see changes and better life !
Gladiator is legendary. Your choice in scenes and the calm, slowness in the music is beautifully done 🙌🏼 Very nice video!
Truly a legendary movie, and thank you for the compliment! Very much appreciate your support!
@@EscathonEditsit really is fantastic the edit you made, great work
One of the most greatest movies ever made in my opinion. The story, the actors all flow beautifully together and Russel as well as Joquin out done them selves with their superb acting. ❤
One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. I have seen it over 30 times. A simple MASTERPIECE. This is what our age needs!! ALL GLORY TO GLADIATOR!! Take me back to that time, let me die in glory!!!! HAIL!!!!!
made me cry 3 times today more emotions felt in this 6 minutes than my entire life
Damn!
Best movie ever, Maximus is the man every real man will want to be.
Lucilla:
Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him.
Gracchus:
Who will help me carry him?
nice video.
This movie means so much for me. It helped so much in my life and gave me a different perspective of life. I used to be angry and react almost at the ones who wronged me and time after time watching this movie knowing all the lines by heart, I learned so much. How to become a more relaxed person and endure the outcome of whatever happens to calculate my thoughts and always react while relaxed, but not only that. This movie taught so many things. Besides the great acting, the great shots and the dialogue, and OMG, the soundtrack.
Brother, we are here for you
Women cry while watching Titanic, men while watching Gladiator
Bullshit. I love Gladiator! Titanic not so much.
And the last samurai
My only experience with titanic is walking past A class when they were watching that before summer holiday and 4/6 girls were crying while 9/9 boys were sleeping or playing games on phones hahahah
love and tears
I’m a woman & I still cry when I see Gladiator. What planet are you from?
1. "A MAN'S LIFE IS A WAR BETWEEN WHO HE IS, AND WHO HE WANTS TO BE”
2. "WHEN A MAN LACKS PURPOSE IN HIS LIFE, HE DISTRACTS HIMSELF WITH PLEASURE”
3. “WE MUST ALL SUFFER FROM ONE OF TWO PAINS: THE PAIN OF DISCIPLINE OR THE PAIN OF REGRET", CHOOSE WISELY
4. "CIRCUMSTANCES DON'T MAKE THE MAN, THEY ONLY REVEAL HIM TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS"
5. "WE CANNOT CHOOSE OUR EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE HOW WE RESPOND TO THEM"
6. "THE WORTH OF A MAN IS MEASURED BY THE WORTH OF WHAT HE VALUES"
Wow 💯💯💯

7. “WHAT WE DO IN LIFE ECHOES IN ETERNITY”
The depth of character between Marcus and The general takes my breath away.
This film captures so much of the mindset and sociological makeup of how it was during Emperor Marcus' time. I miss the old days in so many ways...
I watched this as a kid, younger than 10, under a wooden framed couch side table late at night while the adults watched this new movie at the time. Had to crawl quietly to get under the table so they wouldn't notice. Intrigue and trauma are what I got from that night. Ever since, it has been one of my favorite movies. Everything about it was phenomenal. Sheet mightve been a big influence on my life when I think about it now.
Not everyone didn't notice but shhhh here some popcorn
This gets me every time.
What we do in life echoes in eternity
A man’s ideals live forever ❤️
An all-time masterpiece of cinema
This must be the best Gladiator tribute I have seen, so many emotions coming from your genius work ❤️
Gladiator is one of my all time favorite movies! Thank you very much!
TRUTH!! Agreed!
“What we do alive echos to the eternity”
Best quote I ever seen before !!!!
In life not alive, 🙏
I watched it 13 times ❤❤ The best movie ever. I would watch it again..
Excellent!
Watching this and getting goosebumps man, makes a grown man emotional how much passion and pride this shows.. What a real man looks like, love this movie
I think this is the best short summary of the film I have ever seen and the music fits perfectly. It's one of my favorite movies ever made and this does it complete justice 15/10*
“Your fault as a son, is my failure as a father.” Wow.
This is one of the greatest film edits I have ever seen. The timing and placement of the scenes are flawless. Thank you, this was simply remarkable.
incredible edits. I felt this entire movie in 6 and a half minutes.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
There are movies that mark an era, this is one of them!
the one and only gladiator movie. No sequels
Truly the best movie ever made. No matter how many times I watch it, I always get chills.
It’s a great movie! I wish at the end of my life I get to be with my family like this.
"You will meet them again, but not yet, not yet..."
You will be my friend, but not yet…not yet
Marcus Aurelius played by Richard Harris -phenomenal, and Max Richter music selection - great job, great edit of a great movie.
Your summery comment is great! Thank you, glad you liked it.
Ce film est le meilleur jamais produit après 2000...
The actors, the scenario, the score...Perfection in entertainement!
Je pleure encore a chaque fois et même mon fils pleure.❤

Strength and honour, we are all born with it, how many of us live it….!
Brilliant edit man! I forgot how sad but epic this movie is. It’s one of my favourites. It has a great story and you were able to capture it in 6 minutes. 👏
Thank you man! Its surely a great movie... no... actually, not great, it's fantastic! Love the movie! And I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
40 seconds in and my first teardrop is there
When the perfect dialogue meets the perfect soundtrack! Absolute masterpiece 👏
When I think of my dad all I picture is the gladiator he reminds me so much of him .
You will see your Dad again...but not yet.
Wonderful response.
One of my most rapid subs. This film hits very personally to me as well, I too am a stoic and a great admirer of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus. Glory to you, brother. I look forward to seeing your other work and future achievements with great enthusiasm.
”A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.” -Marcus Aurelius
Thank you very much, my fellow Stoic traveler. I'm glad you enjoyed this! More to come, and if you're interested, check out the description or my channels tab on my TH-cam page, there you'll find my second channel which is just called "Escathon", where I'll be posting quite a bit more Stoicism content, one releasing on the coming days.
Now imagine what the early martyrs of Christendom had to endure and die for, for believing in a man who was called the son of God…
@@marcuskeil420 Indeed. I am both a Stoic & a Follower of Christ. And since I am both, I believe it isn't enough to say you believe in the Son of Man, you must attempt to walk his path. In whatever way that presents itself in your individual journey. Much like the Early Christians did.
Understand Colton’s
This movie motivated my father to fight through pain when diagnosed with cancer. Accepting fate, remaining stoic and embracing the reality of debilitation with grace and strength until the end.
Power ❤love
The best and once in a lifetime masterpiece from all the actors in it and director Ridley Scott,music composer and writer.
What we do now echos in eternity, if only people lived life with an understanding that this life will effect their eternity.
"A good man plants a tree seed even though he knows he will never stand under Its shade"
Make sure your deeds align with your principles. If they do: nothing created by man can stop you.
“What we do in life echoes in eternity.” - Maximus \m/
It was actually quoted by his emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Quite cool to see Maximus, his General, use that quote as it shows what respect he had for his emperor.
“Life is cruel, why should the afterlife be any different”
How much I love this movie! When it first came out I watched it with my sister! It was epic and that song at the end we just got stuck in there forever!! My sister was murdered two years later and I think I've never managed to set myself free of rage like the song chanted at the end of the movie nor could I ever find my way through fields of peace that are able to reunite us again!
The transformation of something so gruesome into something of gentle beauty is a true masterpiece
Easily the best film I've ever seen. There isn't even a close second.
Beautiful that Olly Reed chose the Best Film ever to make his legendary exit. What he did in life echoes in eternity.
I visited the colousseum in Rome today and i cant put into words how i felt the weight of history walking around this amazing structure and standing there seeing the arena.
ive seen the movie countless times, and i just realized at 1:04, Maximus calls Caesar by his given name. that goes to show the comfortable and almost familial relationship they had.
He was the only who knew the glory of the 19th legion was in that small hill near Rome. Why did my family die.
this is beautifully done. Putting Max Richter on Gladiator is a killer edit.
Thank you a lot! I thought it was very fitting.
Bruh I can’t believe they’re going to try and make a sequel. Big yikes. This movie is a masterpiece stand-alone. The sequel won’t do it justice.
Yeah but it would be really cool if they make the main character like a woman maximus and potentially gay #yesplease🎉❤
Obvious troll is obvious. Nobody wants that.
One of the most powerful films I have ever seen as a kid many years ago 👌
This video does not have any more power over my soul and emotions. I used to cry when I watched this video. But by releasing the pain from the trauma that this video represents throughout my childhood into adult is healed. Therefore, it is no longer a delusion that holds my mind captive.
Oh my God ! Such strengthen of character , such glorious destiny , such valour and purpose, such great sense of duty. Such a divine mandate. ❤
Get's me all the time. For some reason, Gladiator gives me or makes me realise all the time of our greater purpose in life even upto death.
That's the best way I can put it in words - otherwise I have no words.
Eternally epic - Love from Zambia ❤🇿🇲
This has to be the best edit of my favourite movie. Reminds me of everything that is so great about it. Made me very emotional, thank you.
You're very much welcome, I'm glad it was worth your time. It's also my favorite movie!
This movie is based lovely on Cincinatus. A modest farmer called upon to become emporer to protect Rome. After he reorganized and saved Rome he simply gave up the emporership and returned to his farm.
All that was - Rome and such - becomes dust, but we know eternity in our hearts, and it pulls each of us to something that forever remains truly beautiful.
Maximus is the man within us that we all truly are.
Or can be
Only if we seek to be him, otherwise we will be corrupted
No other movie or story comes close to hitting me as this does ! Magnificient for all the hearts of men !
