I was in a guided tour of The Colosseum in 1965. From what I can remember, the ancients Greeks and Romans knew about the acoustics in stadiums and colosseums, that the audience can hear what was said in the arena. The crowd could hear the interchange between Maximus and Commodus.
Yeah, the Greeks figured that out with their amphitheaters and had them designed a specific way with acoustics in mind. Though, that knowledge could have been passed along to them by a different culture, but yeah afterwards the Roman’s did the same
Wow, I didn't know this. That's pretty amazing!
@@tehawfulestface1337 they also used to fill up the colosseum with water and have boat fights! Pretty crazy engineering
@@rawtrout007 Yeah, naumachia! It started with celebration for Julius Caesar after he defeated Pompey, but they didn’t do them often, it was extremely expensive.
I am a freelance sculptor for figure collectors and wargamers. One of my commissions were to sculpt every known types of gladiators for wargamers to fight in the Colosseum in wargaming conventions. This film has had an influence in the wargaming community.
If you loved Gladiator, you will love "The Last Samurai"
Both great films but how are they related?
@@scarletina5137Both about warriors from a bygone time, I guess
@@ProtossWannabe1984 Not necessarily, the last samurai takes place in the late 1800s, not too far back when this takes place almost two thousand years ago. Though, both films are wildly inaccurate about what they depict, so they are quite similar in that regard.
Joaquin played a great role, great performance
Thanks I try my best.
bro made us hate him for real. great actor.
The thing you must remember about Maximus, is, he isn't a Roman. He is a Spanish Auxilliary. In 180 AD, the Roman's didn't have their own cavalry, and used cavalry from their conquered countries.
"Vikings or celts or something else" the word you are missing is Germanics, the battle took place in what is today the city of Vienna. Vikings were germanic but not all germanics were vikings.
TBF they could've conceivably been of the Celtic descent as well.
Or Teutons
@@The_Bleeze The movie tells us that they are in Germania land of the germanics
@@ProtossWannabe1984 Teutons were one of the germanic tribes, the exact tribes they were fighting it is not specified in the movie, just that they were in Germania. But around the time the movie is set in the Romans were fighting the Marcomanni along with a joint effort from various other germanic tribes.
@@eladrio2311 which was right in the heart of Celtic influence at its peak.
Wait until Biggus Diccus finds out about this....
Tell your editor you don't cut out the one of the greatest scenes in the movie. Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
Sorry! 😅
An interesting moment that all the people who react to this film miss. This is when the emperor reprimanded the main character about his family. And at the end of the monologue, the main character emphasizes the word “HIGHNESS”.. That is, the main character does not recognize the emperor in his opponent.. This like a slap in the face... Subtly thought out and executed!
It's fascinating how it's possible to get so many humans in one place just to kill each other in the most organized fashion.
I don't know why I love this comment so much 😂
These days, our arena is TV.
These days, our games are reality TV.
I loved how Maximus death was him going home, I believe that is how death really is going home
I hope so 😊
It's good in the same way that Forrest Gump is good: He did what he was supposed to do the entire time.
keep it up with your great reactions!
Thank you!! 🤩
Poor Commodus, after his fathers death and he became emperor, that’s when some refer to it as the end of the golden age of the Roman Empire, or simply “the decline”.
"Poor Commodus" shouldnt have been such a poor human being to his people. No one should feel sorry for that waste of space, he's sick twisted and evil. He made his choices, and the good guy killed him justifiably.
@@blueroninstudios Well, this movie is highly inaccurate. By all accounts, Commodus was not a bad man, just an inept one. He became emperor at the age of 16 when his father died, (he did not assassinate him), the youngest emperor EVER. His reign was one of the most peaceful in Romes history, but he left most of the administrative affairs to others, and because of this those in charge of running the empire basically fumbled it badly. All around Commodus, people were plotting to seize power, take over some position or assassinate him. He was constantly plagued by attempted coups, assassinations and people just trying to take advantage of him. One of his closest advisors and friend was assassinated, and he took his death very hard. Of course, Commodus loved the games and hosted more of them, not a good idea when the currency was being devalued, and his officials messing up and causing food shortages for which they all blamed each other. Because of this, Commodus had to increasingly became more dictatorial, as he couldn’t rely on others or trust them with all the political intrigue abound, it was not an easy time for him. He was eventually assassinated after several failed attempts, but the people of Rome loved him. Don’t look to this movie for historical accuracy, it’s a great movie but this portrays Commodus in a bad light, which he doesn’t deserve.
One of the best opening of all time.
Strength and Honor
if you think about it, Proximo becoming an owner of gladiators (forgot the name) is kinda like nowadays where a player becomes a coach or manager
🤔 Good point. I'm glad sports have changed through the years though 😅
4:20 "Are these Viking sor Celts?"
Neither.
Not in Northern Britannia and not quite far enough north for Vikings.
These are a coalition of Germanic tribes.
The real Commodus did fancy himself to be a gladiator, but his matches were all fixed, of course.
One sad note is that Oliver Reed (Proximo) died before the end of filming. They had to use another actor to cover some of the shots.
Wow, that's so sad. I couldn't imagine filming knowing one of the cast members is no longer there.
If you ever want to keep your runtime down, don't listen to anybody about Director cuts!
There's actually very few that are better than the theatrical version. You can look online to see which ones those are.
Director cuts are more for the fans of movies that like to see other scenes that were not included. Most of them will make the movie drag, but yes there are DC's that make the movie a little bit better but like I said very few.
Yes, I think I'll stick to the shorter version next time.
In addition to avoiding her brother's incestuous advances, Lucilla must protect her son's life; Lucius is in line to become Caesar "but not yet" as he is too young and inexperienced in the ways of statecraft. Lucius is a pawn in a deadly game of chess with his twisted and ineffectual Caesar, his Uncle Commodus. Wish you'd have included Lucilla's best line at Maximus' death scene, "Go to them."
It was a beautiful line, unfortunately, I have to be extremely picky for copyright purposes. I wish I'd also talked more about Lucilla, she's one tough cookie.
My favorite movie of all time since it came out in 2000. Mr Phoenix is one of greatest method actors of our time. Great reaction! New sub here ❤️
He did such a great job! Thank you for being here! Xx 😊
Did you catch the "gas" tank mounted under one of the chariots as it got overturned? One of the biggest blooper/blunders in a big-budget movie.
😂 No, I didn't.
I am a Viking. From Hordland, Norway.
Love this!
This is in Germania present day south Germany,the Romans in history couldn't take it so stopped trying
more like a lot of effort for a low value
Awesomeness. Looking fabulous
It's great to see your name keep popping up along the way. The support means a lot. Thank you Xx
Your welcome and thank you.@@amylorraine3776
Great reaction! Great movie! You are gorgeous!
One of my favorite movies💜
Hello stranger 😉
"Helloooo Muthaf****!!!" 😂
😆😅
I had to pause and check for SOA reactions I would have liked to see them 😊
I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed it. And even though it's been awhile, some scenes just stay with you. Also discovered some great music along the way.
🤔💭"don't die, they'll feed you to the lions"
Also... if you live, they'll feed you to the lions!
Hmmm decisions, decisions 😂
About Marcus Aurelius and stoicism:
Marcus Aurelius was a famous stoic, and IMO well worth emulating. There were also female stoics like Portia Catonis
HOWEVER, there's a lot of talk about stoicism in the last few years, especially in the manosphere, that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH GRECO-ROMAN STOICISM.
i came to stoicism through cognitive behavior therapy (which is based on Greco-Roman stoicism). The basic principles are that (a) your emotions are valid, (b) your emotions are the result of your logical thoughts, (c) people often think illogically, (d) those illogical thoughts lead to illogical emotions, (e) by analyzing your thoughts you can spot those logical distortions, (f) understanding the thoughts behind the emotions allows you to change your thoughts/plans/actions so that your emotions are not so destructive, (g) you become a better person who is no longer controlled by their emotions.
You are still free to feel your emotions, but you're no longer a slave to them.
But in the manosphere, there is a perversion of stoicism that is best called "broicism". It's all about not looking weak, being strong, dominating everyone, and winning all the time.
A LOT of the stoic merchandise/books/etc being sold today is just broicism crap.
Just figured I'd throw that warning out there in case anyone was interested in stocism.
Yes, I seem to be seeing the word stoicism everywhere at the moment!
wow you really love the F word dont ya! good reaction
It's my form of expression 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for watching natmanprime 😊
Hi Amy! New subscriber from NM USA. I had fun watching your channel. ❤
Thanks so much!
Running agladiator school was a VERY lucrative business. Was not that strange if an ex-gladiator, who already know the games and people, who have contacts, opened a school. (SCHOLA)
True, It does make sense.
A ha... The directors cut. The theatrical cut is better paced. And shorter. Easier to edit. Around 2 hours 20.
I should have checked 😂
Hello I'm new you need to watch the movie 300 , about the Spartan war
bravissima
potresti essere cleopatra
So much ugliness and horrors of the time yet such a beautiful movie.
Yes, I totally agree. I love your profile pic btw 😉
Vikings or Celts and it says it is in Germany do you even know what period of History is this poor education system
There's a whole debate about it in the comment section. Seems I'm not the only one who doesn't know everything that happened in the last few thousand years. But this is what google says.. The Vikings were one of many different Germanic peoples. There are three major branches of the Germanic languages: East Germanic, West Germanic, and North Germanic. The Vikings spoke a North Germanic language called Old Norse.
There are Emperors everywhere. Our wannabee is Trump.
