As a father who has lost children, this scene gutted me. I sobbed for hours afterward. I long to hear at my deathbed, "Go to them," and "You're home." I will see them again. But not yet. Not yet.
God knows when our time is due. Your children are waiting for you, but you still have time. Don't dissapoint them by going the other way in life. Be a good man, a man with of honor and and high morals, so their longing for you is not in vein... Let them be proud of you by giving all you've got
Historically, completely inaccurate. Killed by a Greek wrestler as he bathed with the consent of the Praetoreon Guard. But this was the beginning of the end. It was managed decline from this point on.
We cry for Maximus not for his character or even for Maximus himself. We cry for those free souls who fought for freedom and taught us not to kneel in front of tyranny. May all of them rest in peace.
Yesterday, I carried my dad's coffin on my shoulder to the front of the church - the same way he supported me for all my life. This was playing as we entered. I have never, ever been prouder in my life, and I can tell you that I probably never will be again. I honoured my gladiator; my hero. Like Maximus, his fight was over only after he lived long enough to ensure everything was okay for his family. To any of you reading this, you need not a moment exactly like mine to show you what really matters in life, just keep your heart and eyes open for what that may look like for you. Thank you for everything and I love you, Dad xxx
This reminds me of my father who passed away in January 2024. He was a warrior, he survived the polio decease as a child, a war, extreme poverty, physical disability due to the polio, earthquakes, heart attack, diabetes, Covid 19, a stroke and finally neumonía before he passed away. Rest in heaven Dad.

Sincere condolences to you. For so many of us, the loss of our father is the loss of a hero. Your father was even more than that. It sounds like he may have been a hero to many. But most of all, and I'm sure he'd agree, he was your dad. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Maximus isn't just a character. He's a set of ideals and values beyond the person who embodies them. That's why we weep, not just for the injustice he experienced before his death but for how well be upheld those principles till the end.✊
It's always a great ending, when the person whose sole "raison d'être" was to play victim, and who did f* all, lectures everybody else about how they failed. Besides, what about the wrongs Maximus supported when he went conquering for Rome? Did he care who the men were he killed or what they were fighting for? Rome's corruption only became an issue to him, when it destroyed his own life. As great as the "film making" in this film is, if you are honest with yourself, you have to conceed that the story was shit.
This was a brilliant movie. I'm 66 now and I still cry when I see the ending of this movie. The music is epic. The movie is epic. I can watch this movie constantly.
Duty? Sure. Honor? Of course. "country"??? no. He was (in lore) a conscripted spaniard who was compelled to serve the roman empire. Had absolutely nothing to do with "country".
@@JgHaverty by that time the Spaniards were as much as Roman as the Italians, otherwise Roman law and Latin language would not still be prevalent in Portugal and Spain as much as it is.
“Lucius is safe?” Last 3 words before he dies. This shows the love that he still has for Lucilla, as well as the yearning to be with his own son and wife. The only thing that we go with from this world are the bonds of love and relationships of the heart. Wonderful movie and mesmerizing ending…
I lost a friend to depression. Her name was Anna, and she passed away on February 10, 2023. She was an angel in the lives of many. We lived in difficult times at the university since a girl was brutally murdered inside the university, and we were all quite shaken by it, including Anna, she decided to wrote a poem in honor of her and asked me to help her paste it all over the university, it was her last wish, she took her own life, I couldn't save her. Anna and I wanted to be teachers in the future, and we always talked about working together one day. But I honored her wish with dedication and love, and while I was pasting the poems all over the university, I played this song for some reason. Anna will always be my inexhaustible source of inspiration. All the classes I give will be for her, she will always be the angel of my profession, and she will always be with me. Now you are free, Anna. I will see you again, but not yet, not yet.
I am so very sorry Lucas for the very deep sad loss of your friend Anna, who passed away a day before my Father's 46th anniversary of his passing. What a lovely way to honour and remember Anna, not forgetting that girl who was brutally taken away. May God bless you all including those touched, like me, by this very sad story. I too will remember those words for those I have lost, in passing and in other ways.... 'I will see you again, but not yet, not yet.' ❤️🙏✝️👑
Ridley Scott is one of the few directors who know how to make a movie that touches every range of human emotions. He is on the level of Spielberg, Cameron, Kubrick, Wyler, Jackson, Zemeckis, Lean. He's not afraid to touch on the possibility of an afterlife and how that affects people's lives while they live and at the end of their life. The ending of this movie is so satisfying, and the movie is a masterpiece of film making.....Kudos to a great filmmaker.
Did anyone else notice how at 3:05 the princess places her hand palm downward on her head? That was the traditional gesture of mourning in ancient Rome. It's the little touches like that that make this such a good movie
That final scene was beautiful, not only because it wrapped up the whole movie amazingly, but because it showed how abandoned his enemy was. Not a single soldier wept, and that final shot showed that with him being little more than a dull, white dot, with much more intense colour in the scene than just him.
It’s interesting the mix of people who carried him at the end. You had gladiators who had been slaves of Rome, Roman soldiers, a Roman Senator, and a future Roman emperor. I think it’s symbolic how so many different people all showed respect and honor to Maximus.
Maximus was literally asked by Markus Arealius to take over rome on his death bed. It makes sense that Maximus was known by all, and respected. Even when he denounced his own status and became a gladiator. The senate knew him, Even the slaves have heard of maximus..he's a legend. yeah Honor him
Die Musik ab 0:30, der Respekt seiner alten Kampfgefährten, nach dem Fall ihr zu sagen, dass der Sohn in Sicherheit ist, die Liebe zu seiner Familie und die Sehnsucht nach Ihnen... aber der Satz he was a soldier of rom-honour him der Augenblick, wo dann immer die Tränen laufen...Einer der besten Filme aller Zeiten

Every time. and I mean EVERY TIME I hear her say "He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him." I get massive goosebumps. After 20 years of seeing this movie many times.
Possibly, the most epic movie of all time! The story, actors and soundtrack are beyond reproach. Outstanding in every way! Every time I see and hear this, I get goosebumps. Thanks for sharing in HD! If you have trouble understanding the lyrics, it's because the performer, Lisa Gerrard sings in her own language!
I remember watching Gladiator in the cinema, it was epic, loud, beautiful, full of emotion, excitement and action. The colours were amazing and the cinematography simply stunning. This scene always makes me shed a few tears. Crowe embodied Maximus and Scott had made another epic film that would be watched over and over again!
you are so lucky, I seen it on a VHS tape that I got for christmas, and being a kid at the time, I thought it would be super boring since it was an adult movie, I was transcended and lost in a world I never knew existed. I just posted my reaction to Gladiator 2 on channel if anybody interested. Would love to hear your thoughts
It made me cry so much. that im scared to watch it again & I'm 65yrs of age😅. No words can explain the fight & sacrifice of a hero , a husband & a father. Hats off again to the producers, directors, cast & all members who worked hard to present to us this amazing movie . Thank you 😊
I always adored Connie Nielsen in this. She embues the character with such a commanding presence, but throughout you can see the hurt inflicted on her by just how life is. She had to walk away from Maximus, she's lost her husband and her father, her son is targeted by her creepy brother, and ultimately the one man she wanted ends up putting everything right while peacing out.
This is how my sister felt when she was dying, of leukemia and died suddenly without knowing of why, she went coma and there we knew, and the next day passed.. my everything in the world. I saw and hugged her a few days, worried her.. i miss you so much my everything in the world. 4 years. She always took care of me and hugged me deeply
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 almost everyday i suffer.. because i was used being with her. Sometimes almost cry again and again.. she needed help but i wasn't much around and never realized that she is deadly sick i saw how she suffered, she also couldn't think of, and she thought like she is just making troubles to others
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 i wasn't much around in her last months/weeks, except my promise to her, after move, to surely visit her twice a week. Exactly then she died. Before she died she messaged me that I am a liar and i should not come back to her again. I was just a week abroad and this actually i meant, right after i wanted visit and surprise her. I missed and worried her so much.. then suddenly in hospital in coma, how i met her again.. i cried alot when i saw her like that i knew something is big i shocked and trembled when i saw her in hospital, hugged her so much Then the doctor told me she is almost dead and will pass, nothing to do It broke my everything This woman did so much for me and i couldn't return as much Thank you for asking and listening, i now cry again. She was the most important human being for me. A hidden jem that not much people knew that someone like her existed in the world.. and now gone without any traces
This is one of the best endings in film history. Even I get a tear every time Maximus dies. Lucilla asking the soldiers to honor him is poignant in its own way and the music is awesome.
Not often a film can grab hold of you and make you live through the eyes of the characters and feel real emotion like this epic film has and is still doing to a new generation of watchers a timeless masterpiece .
When I found out my wife was pregnant, we hadn't chosen a name, but I always wanted to have a boy named Maximus and it was because of this movie. Unfortunately, after he was born, he he was here only a brief time. When it came time for the end, I held him in my arms as he took the last breath as we watched this movie together. Whenever that time may be I'm ready to go home to see him. My son, Maximus Blade will never be forgotten. Till we meet again.
I always loved the way this ending was handled, in particular the fact that Maximus literally just collapses. No heroic struggle, no screams of glory, he's just dazed and dead on his feet and then, a minute later, just plain dead. It's so cold and stark, yet when paired with his view of Elysium, and the music track to match, there's a beautiful peace to it.
Why do we cry for this scene? I dont even cry easily. This scene seeps though the soul. Doing good and sacrifice finally pays off for the better good of everything.
I miss this kind of movies for a boy who born in late 90s. Every bit of this movie is amazing the sequel, the scenery and everything. I wish they will produce movie’s like this again.
I’m not sure what it is but Ridley Scott has always captivated me. This movie is so many things all at once and this scene tugs at my soul. Some distant part of me left over from my ancestors I guess. I get goosebumps and my eyes well up every time I hear her say “he was a soldier of Rome, honor him” almost a quarter century old and it’s still brilliant
So beautiful yet we honor this ending Amazing how the Queen doesn’t say the phrase to Maximus, “Don’t leave” instead she said to him to go to his family
In Rome, the Emperor's wife was not a Queen, nor an Empress lol. She was simply wife. Nothing more, nothing less. Rome's emperors were not considered blue bloods and not guaranteed power to their offsprings. There were even occasions where an emperor would be selected from the lesser nobility or even the plebs by the Pretorian Guard.
Dont remember how many times i have watched this movie and every time the last shot makes my eyes moists. whenever I am free, my family jokes..arre..u r nit watchibg Gladiator 😊. The direction, acting, action and Cinemaphotogrphy, all are top class.. Its tribute to Ridley scot and Russell crow that they made you cry in the end... Salute..
@@xjuhox Russell Crowe is someone very special to me. In the film the Gladiator Russell Crowe seems more real than just an actor. Ki watched that film more than a 100 times but I never got fed up of watching him. Great guy.
This is the most perfect and emotional ending I've ever seen. The scene where little boy runs to meet his father broke my heart, coz in real world he was so happy to finally meet his father but was brutally crushed. This movie is a perfect balance of emotions.
I cried watching this movie. Absolute legend. Best music, cast and Russell Crowe was incredible. If you've not seen it, please do!!. This will live on forever as one of the greatest movie ever made❤
Many times I have watched this movie. And many times I have seen this ending. Only now did I realize Maximus’s final words were “Lucius is safe”. And this brought me to a powerful realization. Maximus lost his wife and son in the most horrible way possible. The anger, the pain, the despair he suffered must have been unfathomable. How he could ever overcome such a loss would be too much for most men to take. But, Maximus did just that. Because he learned to love again. He wasn’t just fighting to avenge his blood family’s death. He was fighting to protect his living family, the family he adopted into his heart, Lucilla and Lucius.
Yes they were once lovers Lucilla and Maximus (being the number one soldier protector and leader of Marcus Aurelius army this was mentioned when Lucilla secretly when to speak with Maximus and imprisoned upon Lucilla's brother Commodus order)- during their younger days when Marcus Aurelius was still alive - that's why the older brother was so jealous of Maximus Decimus Meridius, because Marcus Aurelius preferred him over his son, Commodus. []To quote from another great reply -My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." - Maximus Decimus Meridius]☺ -
For those that dont know Lisa Girrard who sings these songs...there are no lyrics because these songs are simply incoherent words which is how she meant it. She is a phenomenon for sure.. love her voice and unique music.
@@AndreiBogorodski Give in. Jump in the pool. Drink the coolaid. In 50 years time you'll grow to regret it otherwise. The world is a dark and lonely place without loving family.
Awesome and very moving moment scene... don't know how many times I shed tears 😢... the sound of the music and the vocals just amplify so much... loved this movie.. I loved the part where everyone carried maximus and yet left commodus for the crows hahaha 😆 😅
Interesting fact here is: Although her brother was a bastard and she knew that better than anyone, she plotted killing him and she was happy he died, she is still there, the only person standing near him after his dead, no one gave a damn about him after his dead and probably nobody ever cared about him, except his sister, who could tolerate his behavior ,his megalomania up to a certain point, when it was too much, she had to do it for her boy, for her dead father and ultimately for Rome and for people.s sake. Also, Quintus who betrayed Maximus, is there to honor Maximus and carry Maximus body, that just after he went to Maximus before fighting and told him "I.m a soldier. I obey "also, after that, he was fair, honorable and objective during the fight when he didnt allow anyone to pass a sword to Commodus, he knew he was wrong all along, he just didnt have the power and amazing strong, unique character of Maximus. This movie is or could be just a cream... a jam for anyone , I wish more people would watch this movie and understand it, would really be a better world, the tolerance, the honor, general good, loyalty, dignity, love, friendship, courage, fear... so many things here... is just unbelievable .. also depics us so many types of people, and the details that make a big difference from one to another in terms of humanity.
@@mika6219 I believe you have to put respect at the top of the list or you can't actually achieve the other good attributes. Of course, the most important thing of all is to ask Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior. Without Jesus nothing else matters.
Most georgious intonations of melodie in movies ever. One of the most noble and georgious ending scene ever. "He was a soldier of Rome, honor him!" Very strongly and confidently said words.
This scene still pulls at my heartstrings and brings tears to my eyes...the most beautiful concept of the afterlife and film endings of all time in my opinion 😢

too true! i just seen the second one, check my reaction
This scene still brings tears to my eyes. Giving HONOR worthy men and women who have sacrificed so much and suffered in silence...is so powerful.
Same here.
Everytime i watch it
“He was a soldier of Rome. Honour him”. These words, this music … Each time it brings tears to my eyes. I’m I the only one ?
No😢
Every time. and I mean EVERY TIME I hear her say "He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him." I get massive goosebumps. After 20 years of seeing this movie many times.
Its jus a stupid movie
Possibly, the most epic movie of all time! The story, actors and soundtrack are beyond reproach. Outstanding in every way! Every time I see and hear this, I get goosebumps. Thanks for sharing in HD! If you have trouble understanding the lyrics, it's because the performer, Lisa Gerrard sings in her own language!
@ALLEN -DENNIS SAID IT PERFECTLY,I COULDN'T TOP IT !!! HE'D RIGHT ON!!! SEE HIS REPLY!!!
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this film, the music is absolutely unreal, one of the best films ever
They do not make movies like they used to. This is a classic and beautiful script.
@@kcet1948,il y a eu Troie qui n'est pas mal non plus,
mais celui-ci c'est le meilleur
@@kcet1948 The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, The Last of the Mohicans, and (Game of Thrones, though not a movie), and a few others.
THE best
@@palomino9860 lol no way they are trash
What are great stand-alone movie that absolutely never needed a sequel!
True.... A sequel kills the stand alone greatness
What a horrible sequel...
Agree. Gladly they used the same music now we are free to level up the movie
I cried watching this clip of the movie. It carries the deep meaning of life. Gladiator is my all-time favorite movie.
I remember watching Gladiator in the cinema, it was epic, loud, beautiful, full of emotion, excitement and action. The colours were amazing and the cinematography simply stunning. This scene always makes me shed a few tears. Crowe embodied Maximus and Scott had made another epic film that would be watched over and over again!
This is one of those movies that I am so glad I got to watch in the movie theater.
you are so lucky, I seen it on a VHS tape that I got for christmas, and being a kid at the time, I thought it would be super boring since it was an adult movie, I was transcended and lost in a world I never knew existed. I just posted my reaction to Gladiator 2 on channel if anybody interested. Would love to hear your thoughts
Such a powerful scene: for the slave, everything; for the emperor, nothing. 23 years later, still makes me tear up.
3:40 -- "He never skipped leg-day. Honor him." 😂
63 years of age and this still has me breaking down in tears of sorrow and joy.
I’m 66 the same just so moving and with the music gets me every time 😢
Cry babies. 😭
Oh who am I kidding...this gets me everytime too. What a performance.
It made me cry so much. that im scared to watch it again & I'm 65yrs of age😅. No words can explain the fight & sacrifice of a hero , a husband & a father. Hats off again to the producers, directors, cast & all members who worked hard to present to us this amazing movie . Thank you 😊
I always adored Connie Nielsen in this. She embues the character with such a commanding presence, but throughout you can see the hurt inflicted on her by just how life is. She had to walk away from Maximus, she's lost her husband and her father, her son is targeted by her creepy brother, and ultimately the one man she wanted ends up putting everything right while peacing out.
I think you miss the point. Her brother is the boys father. He's not an honourable man?
I fall in love with Connie Nielsen!
Me too, I think she has such presence and beauty, she plays the part so well, great actress and beautiful lady.
Well said👍🏽
@@robinclarke9978 no he isnt that is why she was terried that he might have him killed
Only once i grew up is when i understood how deeply emotional 300, troy and gladiator are. All 3 are masterpieces on more than one level🖤💔🕊️
I like that Quintus did the right thing at the end when he said"shield your swords"he finally remembered his true commander,I love this movie
This is how my sister felt when she was dying, of leukemia and died suddenly without knowing of why, she went coma and there we knew, and the next day passed.. my everything in the world. I saw and hugged her a few days, worried her.. i miss you so much my everything in the world. 4 years. She always took care of me and hugged me deeply
How are you doing today?
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 almost everyday i suffer.. because i was used being with her. Sometimes almost cry again and again.. she needed help but i wasn't much around and never realized that she is deadly sick i saw how she suffered, she also couldn't think of, and she thought like she is just making troubles to others
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 i wasn't much around in her last months/weeks, except my promise to her, after move, to surely visit her twice a week. Exactly then she died. Before she died she messaged me that I am a liar and i should not come back to her again. I was just a week abroad and this actually i meant, right after i wanted visit and surprise her. I missed and worried her so much.. then suddenly in hospital in coma, how i met her again.. i cried alot when i saw her like that i knew something is big i shocked and trembled when i saw her in hospital, hugged her so much
Then the doctor told me she is almost dead and will pass, nothing to do
It broke my everything
This woman did so much for me and i couldn't return as much
Thank you for asking and listening, i now cry again. She was the most important human being for me. A hidden jem that not much people knew that someone like her existed in the world.. and now gone without any traces
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 i replied to you, but I don't know why they disappeared ;(
My replies to you are automatically deleted :(
Women cry after watching Titanic. Men cry after watching Gladiator
Very poignant.
I cried watching gladiator.
Ich weine mehr bei ihm... er hat mir gezeigt, was Liebe und Treue ist.❤
I cry after watching Gladiator….. no many how many times I watch it, I always cry at this ending.
True
This is one of the best endings in film history. Even I get a tear every time Maximus dies. Lucilla asking the soldiers to honor him is poignant in its own way and the music is awesome.
If you don't cry at the end of this movie, you are NOT human!
THE BEST MOVIE EVER 22 YEARS LATER still crying watching it
"He was a soldier of rome... Honor him"
_goosebumps_
Not often a film can grab hold of you and make you live through the eyes of the characters and feel real emotion like this epic film has and is still doing to a new generation of watchers a timeless masterpiece .
1:37 -- Me after 12 sets of 10 of 225 lbs doing squats. 😂
When I found out my wife was pregnant, we hadn't chosen a name, but I always wanted to have a boy named Maximus and it was because of this movie. Unfortunately, after he was born, he he was here only a brief time. When it came time for the end, I held him in my arms as he took the last breath as we watched this movie together. Whenever that time may be I'm ready to go home to see him. My son, Maximus Blade will never be forgotten. Till we meet again.
😢
You will see him again but not yet not yet
They don't make movies like this anymore - and it is our loss. Stay strong everyone.
I always loved the way this ending was handled, in particular the fact that Maximus literally just collapses. No heroic struggle, no screams of glory, he's just dazed and dead on his feet and then, a minute later, just plain dead. It's so cold and stark, yet when paired with his view of Elysium, and the music track to match, there's a beautiful peace to it.
Anyone who has ever lost anyone they loved, I know your eyes are filled with tears right now x
Lost my grandad last September I will see him again but not yet not yet
2024 and I still believe one of the greatest movie ever
always will be
I totally and utterly agree with you.
One of my top five movies of all time. The music, the acting, the setting, the action, the history, all of it was superb.
What are the others if I may ask?
@@m.a.i.l.a5481I think they are...
1. The Shawshank Redemption
2. Interstellar
3. Inception
4.V for Vendetta
@@RDJ-tk4jp yesss for Shawshank Redemption. One of my top 5 too. I haven’t watched the others, but I will
@@m.a.i.l.a5481 Dont miss it. These are masterpieces.
@@RDJ-tk4jp Braveheart is up there.
“He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him.” That he was and that they did. One of the most awesome movies I’ve ever seen in the theaters.
Why do we cry for this scene? I dont even cry easily. This scene seeps though the soul. Doing good and sacrifice finally pays off for the better good of everything.
I miss this kind of movies for a boy who born in late 90s. Every bit of this movie is amazing the sequel, the scenery and everything. I wish they will produce movie’s like this again.
I’m not sure what it is but Ridley Scott has always captivated me. This movie is so many things all at once and this scene tugs at my soul. Some distant part of me left over from my ancestors I guess. I get goosebumps and my eyes well up every time I hear her say “he was a soldier of Rome, honor him” almost a quarter century old and it’s still brilliant
And to think one of his first things he directed was the soap coronation Street.
Бесподобный фильм! Просто шедевр! Жена плакала, при просмотре, я еле сдержался... Всем артистам и режиссеру, большое спасибо!!!

Супер фильм
Мой покойный брат 7 нас смотрел этот фильм.
This scene, in particular, always moves me. The sound track is just perfect.
So beautiful yet we honor this ending
Amazing how the Queen doesn’t say the phrase to Maximus, “Don’t leave” instead she said to him to go to his family
Exactly!
Because she truly loved him and wanted him to be happy.
Correct. They were waiting for him in Heaven.
She was a part of the conspiracy!
In Rome, the Emperor's wife was not a Queen, nor an Empress lol. She was simply wife. Nothing more, nothing less. Rome's emperors were not considered blue bloods and not guaranteed power to their offsprings. There were even occasions where an emperor would be selected from the lesser nobility or even the plebs by the Pretorian Guard.
Dont remember how many times i have watched this movie and every time the last shot makes my eyes moists. whenever I am free, my family jokes..arre..u r nit watchibg Gladiator 😊. The direction, acting, action and Cinemaphotogrphy, all are top class.. Its tribute to Ridley scot and Russell crow that they made you cry in the end... Salute..
Most wonderful film of all time.I do have doubt some other actor could play Russell Crowd's part as good as he did. Marvelous ending.
Daniel Craig, Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise... etc.
@@xjuhox Russell Crowe is someone very special to me. In the film the Gladiator Russell Crowe seems more real than just an actor. Ki watched that film more than a 100 times but I never got fed up of watching him. Great guy.
@@xjuhox vin diesel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@xjuhox lol tiny Tom Thumb, don't make me laugh, this film needed a real man, not a couch hopping midget :D
Aye our son been to war not a good thing when they come home
Maximus last words: "Lucius is safe"
Lucius was the first one to step forward when asked who will carry Maximus ❤️
The soundtrack to this film is outstanding. "Now We Are Free" is one of my favourite tracks from the film.
One of the greatest movies of all time. Lisa Gerard voice makes this scene so much more profound and powerful. Honor him.
Hans Zimmer greatest soundtrack.... pure genius.
And Lisa Gerrard🙂
I think his music is also in Man on Fire, with Denzel Washington.
Who’s here after watching Gladiator 2?
Me...perfect..
Me ....is maximaL ❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍😍
Me 😢
Me, an excellent sequel.
Definite excellence👍
How the Queen musters courage to get up and deliver the speech after Maximus passes up shows what a beautiful and powerful personality she is
Her little boy, was Maximus’ love child. He inherits the throne when old enough, maybe 13?❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
There’s no queen, she is still just Commodus’ sister.
This is the most perfect and emotional ending I've ever seen. The scene where little boy runs to meet his father broke my heart, coz in real world he was so happy to finally meet his father but was brutally crushed. This movie is a perfect balance of emotions.
I cried watching this movie. Absolute legend. Best music, cast and Russell Crowe was incredible. If you've not seen it, please do!!. This will live on forever as one of the greatest movie ever made❤
This song has been floating in my subconscious for 24 years.
Um dos melhores filmes de todos os tempos!Já assisti inúmeras vezes e sempre me emociono bastante com esta cena😢😢😢
Concordo com vc primeira vez que vim esse filme tinha 10 anos hoje tô 35 anos e muito bom
나도요! from Korea
😘✌
Concordo
mam 45 lat no i przy tej scenie sie poryczalem! A film cudowny jest nadal
Many times I have watched this movie. And many times I have seen this ending. Only now did I realize Maximus’s final words were “Lucius is safe”. And this brought me to a powerful realization. Maximus lost his wife and son in the most horrible way possible. The anger, the pain, the despair he suffered must have been unfathomable. How he could ever overcome such a loss would be too much for most men to take. But, Maximus did just that. Because he learned to love again. He wasn’t just fighting to avenge his blood family’s death. He was fighting to protect his living family, the family he adopted into his heart, Lucilla and Lucius.
Wow!!! OMG now im gonna cry the whole ocean 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭, thank you for such an amazing break down 😢❤❤❤
And "free my men." His fellow gladiators became his brothers.
😢💔
Yes they were once lovers Lucilla and Maximus (being the number one soldier protector and leader of Marcus Aurelius army this was mentioned when Lucilla secretly when to speak with Maximus and imprisoned upon Lucilla's brother Commodus order)- during their younger days when Marcus Aurelius was still alive - that's why the older brother was so jealous of Maximus Decimus Meridius, because Marcus Aurelius preferred him over his son, Commodus. []To quote from another great reply -My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." - Maximus Decimus Meridius]☺ -
@@stevemuldoon9451and they showed it when they carried him out of the arena
For those that dont know Lisa Girrard who sings these songs...there are no lyrics because these songs are simply incoherent words which is how she meant it. She is a phenomenon for sure.. love her voice and unique music.
SHE MUST BE BLACK IF SHE SINGING INCOHERENTLY YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN
It’s what every man wants, a home; wife and children.
This so much this
no
@@AndreiBogorodski Give in. Jump in the pool. Drink the coolaid. In 50 years time you'll grow to regret it otherwise. The world is a dark and lonely place without loving family.
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 i wanted reply to you but my message is gone as soon as I tagged you
@@AndreiBogorodski or most wants like that
Still get those goosebumps just like the first day i watched it in Sept 2000..... Great movie, Greatest soundtrack ever...
It's 2022💪
Awesome and very moving moment scene... don't know how many times I shed tears 😢... the sound of the music and the vocals just amplify so much... loved this movie.. I loved the part where everyone carried maximus and yet left commodus for the crows hahaha 😆 😅
Agree
Interesting fact here is: Although her brother was a bastard and she knew that better than anyone, she plotted killing him and she was happy he died, she is still there, the only person standing near him after his dead, no one gave a damn about him after his dead and probably nobody ever cared about him, except his sister, who could tolerate his behavior ,his megalomania up to a certain point, when it was too much, she had to do it for her boy, for her dead father and ultimately for Rome and for people.s sake. Also, Quintus who betrayed Maximus, is there to honor Maximus and carry Maximus body, that just after he went to Maximus before fighting and told him "I.m a soldier. I obey "also, after that, he was fair, honorable and objective during the fight when he didnt allow anyone to pass a sword to Commodus, he knew he was wrong all along, he just didnt have the power and amazing strong, unique character of Maximus. This movie is or could be just a cream... a jam for anyone , I wish more people would watch this movie and understand it, would really be a better world, the tolerance, the honor, general good, loyalty, dignity, love, friendship, courage, fear... so many things here... is just unbelievable .. also depics us so many types of people, and the details that make a big difference from one to another in terms of humanity.
@@mika6219 I believe you have to put respect at the top of the list or you can't actually achieve the other good attributes. Of course, the most important thing of all is to ask Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior. Without Jesus nothing else matters.
@@mika6219 You have written an enlightening comment. A gentle call for humanity. Thank you.
Most georgious intonations of melodie in movies ever.
One of the most noble and georgious ending scene ever.
"He was a soldier of Rome, honor him!" Very strongly and confidently said words.
Goosebumps every single time, maybe the best standalone film ever
It's not standalone anymore. Now it has a "special" sister.
Zu wissen in die Arme des über alles geliebten Menschen heimzukehren macht es leichter zu gehen. Dieses Lied ist einfach herzerwärmend schön...
Such a great Thank you to Ridley, Russel, Joaquin, Connie and of course Hans and all the other GREAT ARTISTS. This Movie is for all Time.
to be remembered not as a hero but a person that did what others couldnt might be the best life story to have ever been told.
Of the 10 best movies ever made, this is 3 of them.
Pliase, 10 film's
Me encanta esta película.La ví un montón de veces y la seguiré viendo.Hermosa Connie.
The entire crowd in the colloseum standing up at once as they carried him out was very moving.
Gladiator has no sequel. Gladiator Needs no sequel.
2:26 is a beautiful scene when his son raises his hand he salute , excellent !
Saluting? The boy and his mother (2:37) look to me as if they're just shading their eyes.
- I'm in tears every time I see this scene
- After all this time?
- Always.
What a movie. What a masterpiece. '[...] echoes in Eternity'
Im with you...I cry like im crazy, it touches me every time 😢😢
This scene still pulls at my heartstrings and brings tears to my eyes...the most beautiful concept of the afterlife and film endings of all time in my opinion 😢
"who will help me carry him?" Gets me everytime!
These are the Wishes of Marcus Aurelius. Maximus Decimus was a fine soldier. Loyal to the end.
A movie with depth, soul and intensity along with that music!!!!!!!!!
