    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.

    • @waterbeauty85
      @waterbeauty85 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +8

      That reminds me of the swordfight between Ricardo Montalban and Frank Langella in the TV movie version of "The Mark of Zorro." During the fight Langella compliments Montalban on a technique saying "I've never seen that move before" and Montalban replies "You wouldn't. I learned on the battlefield." Even though Frank Langella is good actor and ably played Zorro/Diego de la Vega, I actually thought Ricardo Montalban was more charismatic as Capt. Esteban Pasquale.

      Great cast, indeed, and Oliver Reed's last film. Every time I see him on screen I'm reminded that he died during a filming break. He promised Ridley Scott months before filming that he wasn't going to drink ( he was off and on the wagon for years) while shooting the film but he lied. His work around was drinking on weekends and while on break from filming Gladiator, he challenged some English sailors to a drinking contest in a pub where he shouldn't've been. He collapsed, an ambulance was called and he died en route to the hospital. What a film to have a great performance for what would be his last one.

    Imagine committing an act so powerful that the entire Roman coliseum goes quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Also, Quintus didn't betray the emperor. He never wanted to do any of this to Maximus at any point. But Quintus knew that if he didn't carry out the orders, someone else would have and his family would have been included in them. In the end, Quintus was allowed to show his support for Maximus simply by honoring the coliseum and the conditions of the challenge. Gladiators die with honor, false emperors do not.

    The actor who played Proximo (the Gladiator trainer) was Oliver Reed. He was an extraordinary british actor, with a very interesting, fascinating and atypical life. He also was known for his alcoholism, having some scandals on TV and cinema as a consequence of this. During the filming of Gladiator in 1999, he sadly passed away. He had been sober for months, but one night (during a break from filming the movie) in an Irish pub in Malta (after a bet), he drank three bottles of Jamaican rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous double whiskeys and challenged five young English sailors of the Royal Navy to arm-wrestling at The Pub bar (which after this incident was called Ollie's Last Pub). His bill, which was never paid, is preserved in a decorative frame in the bar.

    At 40:03 you hear one of the gladiators state: "i served with you at Vindobona". It was to show Maximus' soldiers loyalty. He knew who Maximus was, and knew he was in hiding and didn't out him.
    Historically the empire had multiple standing armies, each of them more loyal to their generals than the empire itself. This ended up leading to many civil wars with each army fighting to kill off the others

      Marcus Aurelius kept his plan to install Maximus secret. That's why Commodus killed him, so it would never get out. To Quintus, Maximus just looked like he was turning treasonous at the start of the movie. Killing a man's family because he committed treason is pretty harsh but I agree that everything Quintus does could be seen as honorable.

Some things remain unforgiveable, regardless of the reason. Sure there's complexities to the character, but a silver spoon covered in shit is still no fine dining, so to speak.

      Powerful movie, yes. With great acting and probably one of the best soundtracks ever written. But I wouldn't put in an "all time top 5".
      Just off the top of my head I can probably name at least 10 movies that could be objectively considered better, and certainly more influencial than this one (Citizen Kane, Psycho, 2001 A Space Odissey, The Seventh Seal, Metropolis, Vertigo, 8 1/2, Seven Samurai, The Godfather) and this without even mentioning my personal favourites (Blade Runner, the LotR trilogy, Spirited Away, The Wind Rises, etc.).
      So yea, definitely a very good movie that I'd watch many times over, but with some shortcomings that prevents it from being among the very best of all time.

    I think Quintus can be easly judged harshly, but he's in reality just a loyal soldier, he wasn't in the influential circle, he didn't know the Epmeror was slain, he just followed orders, until he got to see the truth. After all I say he's a positive character in this movie.
