Gladiator Movie Description:
Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor's son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father's favourite general. He kills his father and arranges the murder of the general's family, and the general is sold into slavery to be trained as a gladiator - but his subsequent popularity in the arena threatens the throne.
Gladiator is a 2000 epic historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson. The film was co-produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures and Universal Pictures. It stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Ralf Möller, Oliver Reed (in his final role), Djimon Hounsou, Derek Jacobi, John Shrapnel, Richard Harris, and Tommy Flanagan. Crowe portrays Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus becomes a gladiator and rises through the ranks of the arena to avenge the murders of his family and his emperor.
Inspired by Daniel P. Mannix's 1958 book Those About to Die (formerly titled The Way of the Gladiator), the film's script, initially written by Franzoni, was acquired by DreamWorks and Ridley Scott signed on to direct the film. Principal photography began in January 1999, before the script was completed, and wrapped up in May of that year, with the scenes of Ancient Rome shot over a period of nineteen weeks in Fort Ricasoli, Malta. The film's computer-generated imagery effects were created by British post-production company The Mill, who also created a digital body double for the remaining scenes involving Reed's character Proximo due to Reed dying of a heart attack during production.
Gladiator premiered in Los Angeles on May 1, 2000, and was released theatrically in the United States on May 5 and in the United Kingdom on May 11. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the acting (particularly Crowe's and Phoenix's performances), Scott's direction, visuals, screenplay, action sequences, musical score and the production values. It was a box office success, grossing $187.7 million in the United States and grossed $457 million worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing film of 2000. The film won multiple awards, including five at the 73rd Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor for Crowe, Best Costume Design, Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. It also received four BAFTA Awards at the 54th British Academy Film Awards for Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design and Best Editing. Since its release, Gladiator has also been credited with reinventing the swords and sandals genre and rekindling interest in entertainment centered around ancient Greek and ancient Roman culture such as the television series Rome.

This Story Definitely Wanted Me To Be A Better Man! One Of The Best Screenplays I've Had The Pleasure Watching.
What's Your Favorite Line In The Movie?
Please Share And Like The Video...
Also For The People Who Were Upset About My Comments When Commodus "Harrassed" His Sister. Some People Even Said He "Raped" Her, Which Is So Stupid, Because He Did No Such Thing, Some People So Damn Sensitive Now A Days And Love Blowing Stuff Out Of Proportions. Yall Really Need To Grow The Hell Up, I Don't Care If You Got Offended. That Sounds Like A Personal Problem, Its Actually Not Even A Good Look For You, As You Look So Dumb That You're Offended Over A MOVIE Or My Comments On A Movie.
This is the second gladiator reaction today 😂👍 what's next hacksaw ridge?😂found me a bootleg Christian Slater movie today (gleaming the cube👍)but you need to see pump up the volume it should hit home for you as a reactor 😜
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?
What we do in life...echoes in eternity! And of course Strength and Honor
"I have many virtues Father...perhaps not on the battfield, but there are many forms of courage. " LMBO 😂🤣😂
I've Already Seen Hacksaw Ridge, But I Will Do A Video On It In The Distant Future
"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. Husband to a murdered wife. Father to a murdered son. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Crowe initally didnt like that line while filming early on, and tried to come up with his own... but after filming most of the movie he re read the script and used it very well!
Goosebumps, no matter how many times watch this movie.
You skipped the
"commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. "
Which gives him the legitimacy to play the usurper role.
The other part is what gives him the personal motivation.
You're right! One sec.@@mokane86
And they say Hispanic folk have long ass names. 😂🤣
Maximus revealing himself is one of the most epic reveals in film history.
Still gives me the chills! Husband to a murdered wife! Father to a murdered son! And I will have my vengence, in this life or the next!
Oooooh, is it cold in here or is it just me?
@UCFOpwfOIvaXlKKBFX-9U8Mw Yeah, I've seen some of these scenes as "deleted scenes", never knew they were part of a full narrative. Weird.
Gives me goosebumps...you know what's coming..
I replay that scene a lot just to see the reaction of the actors.
One of my favorite lines is when Quintus looks at the tribesmen and says "People should know when they're conquered." to which Maximus replies "Would you Quintus?....Would I?"
Maximus does respect his opponents even though he is tasked with cutting them to pieces.
“I will see you again, but not yet. Not yet”
This movie makes grown men cry
Truth.
When Maximus collapses after the fight with Caesar is over I start tearing up.
@@gmonroy852 Same here. I'd practically already bought my second theater ticket to see it again at that point.
@Finn MacCool Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood of War. If the person isn't sobbing like a bitch at the end, they're a psychopath. That movie kills me every time. HE KEPT THE SHOES! HE KEPT THE SHOES, GUYS! Don't trust anyone who doesn't cry at during that movie.
@Finn MacCool Do it! It's a South Korean film about the Korean War.
Jack Gleeson said he took a lot of inspiration from Joaquin Phoenix's Commodus for his role as Joffrey.
Yeah, I can definitely see the similarities between them
He managed to make Joffrey even more sadistic. Joffrey was closer to Caligula than Commodus in his cruelty.
I Had A Feeling....
@@robwalsh9843 That's GRRM's writing though which made Jofferey what he was. Gleeson did an amazing job of making it come to life on screen
@@HelloMellowXVI yeah I could tell you were seeing the similarities.
Both actor's did fantastic jobs in their respective roles.
I love that Maximus' version of Heaven is to go back to his farm with his wife and son. Simple, humble, wholesome
"He was a soldier of Rome, honour him" gets me everytime.
Yes, then they carried off Maximus but left the Emperor Commodus dead on the ground. That part makes me chuckle a bit every time.
honor***
Oliver Reed actually died during filming. His character was supposed to bury the figurines at the end of the film. But since he was no longer around and filming was nearly finished, they re-wrote the story to have Dijmon Hounsou bury the figurines and killed off Reed’s character via CGI.
Shadows and dust
"If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face. Do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium and already dead!"
everyone else: hahahhahahahaha
The lady playing Maximus's wife was Ridley Scott's really life girlfriend. Ridley wouldn't let her and Russell act anything together because he was afraid she'd go off with Russell. Lol.
She played various minor characters in other Ridley Scotts films: Saladin's sister in Kingdom of Heaven, William Marshal's wife in Robin Hood (also starring Russel Crowe).
I never heard of that before that's too funny🤣😅😆😆😅🤣😂😂 I honestly don't blame him though LOL
I studied archeology. I love History. So I'm really picky when a movie makes historical mistakes. Gladiators made tons of them, but I didnt give a shit. That's how awesome the movie is. One of my favorites.
I was in Rome to watch a rugby match a few years ago, and when we were at the Colosseum some random bloke over the other side shouted out "Are you not entertained?!" and we all bust out laughing. Was a good moment lol
HOLY SHIT! He managed to read the opening text in time?!?! Bravo Melly!!
Commodus was a real emperor. Marcus Aurelius wasn't assassinated but his son Commodus really was insane and obsessed with Gladitorial games. And the Pretorian Guard really did assassinate him because he was so clearly running Rome into the ground and ruling like a tyrant.
He also did fight in the arena, but made sure his opponents had blunt swords and such.
Prove that Marcus Aurelius wasn't assassinated prior to giving some final orders...!
😆
"Probably died of plague" is a good cover ... 🕵️♂️
Some historians have made the claim that Marcus Aurelius was the beginning of the fall of Rome by naming his son, Commodus, as successor; which no Roman emperor had prior to this point in history.
@@andreacongdon7912 unfortunately he had no other heirs and thought he could educate his son to fill the role of Emperor. Goes to show that Marcus Aurelius was not only a great leader but an extremely just and fair person. He could have had his son killed and adopted someone else to be heir, but he probably realized this would instigate a civil war, and so he followed the letter of the law and kept Commodus as his heir and did everything he could to prepare him to lead. Some people think the means justify the ends and would've killed Commodus to save Rome, others like Marcus Aurelius will always do the right thing at every step, even if doing the right thing at every step ultimately leads to a bad result.
@@grontelp77 completely agree with you. Marcus was no stranger to the violence of the empire from within and without, just look at the situation with his wife, Faustina trying to take over the empire.
Jumping back: the other thing to point out is that no other emperor prior to this point had a son that he could have passed the crown on to. Roman politics
When Russell Crowe as Maximus describes his home, it’s Crowe describing his actual home. I’m sure that is why it came across so passionate.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED NOW!? Winner of 5 Oscars including Best Picture.
yeah, this really was an amazing movie for it's time and it still stands strong today.
one of the best movies of all time
Back when the Oscar mattered.
@Finn MacCool He was nominated for Best Director, but the award went to Steven Soderbergh for the epic crime thriller TRAFFIC.
Not to be annoying but its actually, "Are you not entertained?! Are you not entertained?! Is that not why you are here?!"
The line that chokes me up every time is delivered by Gracchus at the end. "Who will help me carry him?" It showed just how much respect and reverence he had for Maximus.
The scenes between Maximus and Djimon were excellent. I’m glad they didn’t kill him off like they did the characters in Aliens. We will meet again, but not yet. Not yet.
Quintus turned on Maximus because he one of the Preatorian Guard. Basically the Emperor's personal bodyguard and (in theory) loyal solely to him. So, with Marcus Aurelius dead, Commodus as the new Emperor, Quintus's loyalty passes to Commodus.
The fact you continually appreciate the individual monologue performances is why I will always be a subscriber to your content. You appreciate the little things that each actor/actress brings.
19:10 "Bread and Circus to the people" As long as they have something to watch that can take their minds off from the issues at hand they won't revolt against him.
The oldest tactic in history.
“Master and Commander” is a GREAT Russell Crowe film!!!
DO IT!
Jack: well Stephen..... the bird IS flightless?
Stephen: yes?
Jack: well then, its not going anywhere.
The lesser of two weevils.
@@missd9785 he who would pun, would pick a pocket.
Very Underrated Movie.... but 2003 was a stacked year.... Pirates of the Caribbean, Kill Bill, and Lord of the rings....
The ending made me cry what masterpiece movie
very powerful ending
It's so over the top, but it always gets me as well!
The music rips at you. Even the small bits of the song I could hear in this video had me tearing up.
Shout out to your Grandma for having good taste in movies!
The part when they killed Oliver reed was actually CGI, he died in real life at that point
I would suggest you watch Falling Down, it's essentially about a guy who just loses it one day when stuck in traffic and what happens during that day. It's gotten a bit of notice in recent years but is still not widely known.
Did you know Michael Douglas also directed "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"?
@@FredFukkinBear I did not, I'm not as good with directors names in general. Seems like the guy really had something to say.
@@FredFukkinBear Milos Forman directed One Flew over the Cuckoo´s Nest, not Michael Douglas, but Douglas did win the Best Picture Oscar as a producer of the movie. Forman went on to direct another Best Picture Oscar winner, Amadeus.
One of the best movies ever made.... Falling down is easily top 100 all time best
"Makes me want to play Total War."
Another man of culture, I see.
"Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed."
This was the film that cemented Russel Crowe as a major actor within the movie industry! In post presentations Russel Crowe was offered and featured in several motion pictures that consolidated his fame as a giant of the Hollywood elite! Russel Crowe, "Are you not entertained?"
I’m an actor too.....My stage name is James W. Evermore.....I’ve been in several movies and tv shows so far. I’m in the Oscar winning movie Green Book. I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. Keep up the good work!!
Fun Fact: The chants that the Germanic tribes are shouting at the beginning are not actually Germanic. They are actually Zulu chants from the movie Zulu (1963).
Usuthu!
I left the same comment! 🤣😂 I should have scrolled down! 😁
Damn it, that’s three of us that have said it lol
I think I saw that it was Ridley Scott's favorite movie when he was younger
..... how did I never notice this before?
The final scenes of Oliver Reed was pre-shot from another scene as he passed before filming was finished. The scar on Russells’ cheek is real and was caused by his horse getting spooked on set and backed him into a tree branch.
"Shadows and Dust..." - Oliver Reed RIP 1999
I love this film, Russel Crowes performance is legendary, but I think Master and commander is his best. Such an underrated film.
Dude, Master and Commander is a masterpiece. I love that people are now discovering how great it is but I do hate it took so long.
In my opinion, Quintus is one of the most interesting characters in this film (Maximus's lieutenant who betrayed him). Many people disdain his character because of the actions he took over the course of the film. I think something people often forget when they are watching a film, is that all the characters aren't always seeing the events transpire with the transparency that we are. Quintus never learned of Marcus's adoption of Maximus (adoption was the formal term in Roman times for an Emperor choosing his successor). I believe Quintus was a more relatable character than we give him credit, who made the mistake of betraying Maximus, but he did so when things didn't make sense to him. As viewers, we are more likely to be in a position in life as him, rather than Maximus.
He didn't know Marcus Aurelius. He didn't know his family. He likely spent months, or even years serving on the front lines under Maximus, and when Aurelius died, he had to make a judgement call: Serve Rome, or serve his General. Up until that point in his life, he likely never made the distinction, or even imagined that one day, doing the right thing would seem so contradictory. He couldn't have suspected that Commodus killed Aurelius, and even with Maximus's word, there was no real proof. He feared that such a claim would be the end of them. Treason was a terrible crime in the Roman Empire, always punishible by proscription or execution. The uncountable factor is only the one who swings the sword.
Quintus wasn't an active propent during the movie, being the chief of the praetorian gaurd. He couldn't have helped Maximus, seeing as how the Praetorian Gaurd was mostly comprised of sycophants and corrupt authority. One wrong move under the cover of night would be enough to incriminate him. He did just get promoted, but power is dangerous to have in Rome, especially in his position. He made the right call at the end of the film. Letting Commodus die in the light of the arena is the best thing he could have done to serve Rome, in light of his mistake.
He did what was in his power to do. He was only a man with fear and doubt. The courage and clarity of Maximus is something most of us don't have the luxury of having.
Oliver drank himself to death like so many of the old guard of actors.
Peter O'Toole was the last of the Hellraisers. . First Richard Burton, then Oliver Reed, then Richard Harris, and then finally Lawrence of Arabia Himself in 2013. Their drunken exploits were LEGENDARY.
I've seen this movie so many damn times and i still shed a tear in the ending.
Rusell Crowe got a well deserved Academy Award for his acting and Oliver Reed was up for a posthumous Award.
Usually I'd wait to finish a reaction before leaving a comment, but I've seen a bunch of Gladiator reactions and you're one of the only ones that include the conversation between Maximus and the emperor in the beginning which is cool because, like you point out, there's some great dialogue there.
I was hoping to see your reaction to Joaquin's "Am I not merciful!"
Supposedly Oliver Reed wrote a book about all the greatest pubs and bars in Europe. If that's true, I really want to read it! Man was a goddamn legend!
it's truly a shame that he died before people were able to see the movie, he was great.
Omg. That would've awesome! Reed would've played Maximus 30 years earlier. Such great casting!
That be the ultimate pub crawl!!
Everything in this movie is iconic, even Maximus' gladiator helmet.
If you take a look at TES3: Morrowind, you will see all Legionaires are wearing Maximus' armor... :D
I saw this movie in the theaters 6 times. I just loved Russell Crowe as Maximus and Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus was such a great villain. Plus the score! Epic film!
your comment on Juaquin Phoenix, right on the money. glad you're learning method acting. and I have been wanting to say this for some time: I really hope to see you on the big screen some day.
I love his hatred towards "Scarface" lmao
Joaquin is a great actor. So much so that he was letting his characters consume him, which caused him to take a break from acting. That led him to take a time off to really explore what a Personality is, and where the actor begins and the character ends. He made this journey always with his tongue firmly in his cheek and proceeded to record a mockumentary about where this line goes in "I'm Still Here", sharing with the audience this peculiar aspect of what is a Person and what is a Role. The guy is a genius, and carries the torch well for his brother River who left us much too soon. Be sure to see his David Letterman interview as his "New Persona". It is hilarious, and people bought it hook, line and sinker... Joaquin had gone mad. lmao!
But seriously it was a great decision of him to step back like he did and do that inner exploration, or he might have ended up like the unfortunate Heath Ledger did.
Loved your tribute to the late great Oliver Reed at the beginning. ❤️
If anything Commodus was even more crazy than portrayed in the movie, he thought of himself as the greatest gladiator ever and he lived and died only for that.
The real Commodus left an enemies list lying around for all to see, and his lover saw her name was on it. So, she conspired to have Commodus's personal trainer strangle him to death. Gladiator' didn't usually fight to the death. They were expensive commodities who ate their weight every day (vegetarian diets), were sometimes used for sex work, and could theoretically retire after many years of service. Killing them was generally a bad idea and a waste of money, but it happened from time to time, especially for big festivities like crowning a new emperor.
History channel actually showed history, I watched the documentary about a gladiator who was one fight away from fulfilling his contract. He actually volunteered to become a gladiator.
How exactly does someone eat their own weight in a day?
@@firstname1lastname127 They don't, guy is full of it. Also, gladiators diets actually mostly consisted of barley, bread, legumes and meat.
This film wasn't the last time Ridley Scott would film in Morocco. He would return a year later to film Black Hawk Down (which was scored by Hans Zimmer) and then again a few years later for Kingdom of Heaven. Highly recommend both of them
Gladiator games, theater, and chariot races were all free in the Roman empire, funded by the state. That's where the "circuses" part of bread and circuses comes from. The Empire maintained control internally for so many centuries in major part by having a bread dole for the poor and providing all citizens with entertainment and distraction. Having weeks/months of games at a time was a common but very expensive way of quickly getting public favor. Even private citizens could fund extra days to in order to elevate their social ranking.
My friend, you really need to check out- “Last of the Mohicans”... another film filled with iconic scenery, bad ass sound track and to top it off you got Daniel Day Lewis. I mean come on, perfect equation for greatness ...:)
"I can already tell I'm gonna love this soundtrack" Yeah dude the soundtrack for this movie is f'n fire.
Follow up to studying to be a method actor, I hope to see you in some big movies some day my dude. You've got a great voice and great facial expressions, I hope you make it bro. Good luck.
Technically Quintous wasnt betraying Maximus, he was a pretorian guard, and they answer only to the emperor not the legions or generals. So when Marcus Aurelious died he answered to Commodus. But in the last scene when Commodus tried to cheat, Quintous refused bacause it was dishounourable in 1 on 1 combat.
Dude, you narrating the intro is already gold 😆
I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out. It was not what I expected, I love acting and action. Blow away by this film. Masterpiece of a movie
Same. Had a friend who was the maintenance manager at an AMC. Employees were allowed to invite one guest every Thursday at 8:00 for a pre-screening of Friday releases...Saw a gang of movies that way.
I think Quintus threw Maximus’ sword on the ground to show the crowd that he was starting the fight already injured.
Russell Crowe - Cinderella Man, The Insider, A Beautiful Mind. All are must see films.
Master & Commander.
8:44 Marcus Aurelius tried to open the conversation in a way that he has other plans for his son to fulfill the best duty for rome to his abilities, so that he is not completely useless
Without watching this whole review yet, I hope Mello was entertained.
This is my favorite movie of all time.
I can’t tell you why, but it’s just perfection.
"Parenthood" is another good movie with Phoenix. He was so young in it, but held his own even with such a star studded cast.
Me: Mellverse your in danger of becoming a good content creator
Melverse: Bah (storms off)
🤣 Awe Wow
I highly recommend "The Rocketeer" (1991)!
Jennifer "Jucy" Connoly
"He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him." ❤❤❤
I was stationed in Rota, Spain when this movie came out and that base has the only drive in movie theater on any military instillation. It was epic to see it in a drive in!
RIP Richard Harris, too. Great movie! Thank you for the great react!
Have you watched "American Gangster" with Crowe and Denzel (also Ridley Scott)? 🎥 💓 🍿
Commodus is such a great tragic villain superbly portrayed by Phoenix.
Best villains are those we understand...
Also, the actor that played Proximo passed away during filming. His character's death scene was actually filmed using a body double and his cgi face. Joaquin Phoenix and several of the other actors used to go out at night and drink with him and listen to his stories about the old hollywood days. They loved that old fella. RIP indeed
This film is probably my number one movie of all time. From the first time I watched this in the theatre, speakers echoing the soundtrack, Russell Crows powerful delivery, Joaquin Phoenix portrayal of Emperor Commodus was one of the greatest villains of all time
"Ey Scarface you next!" LOL
if you haven't seen The Last Samurai, you may appreciate its direction and it's also scored by Hans Zimmer. A great, spectacular, beautiful movie all around.
Saw this in the theater. Great for you to share this with us Melus Realious. All of RomeTube, salute you!
Keep up the great work. 😀👍
I love the moment when he said my name is gladiator and just turned his back. Epic.
No shame in not having seen a movie you own. With the size of my collection I would say movies I own I haven't seen? Triple digits probably?
First became aware of your channel watching the TimotheeReacts Hot Fuzz colab. Gotta tell you you're killin it over here. Sub'd and liked. Keep being real.
Great way to start the video dude. Thanks. My dad was a friend of his from the Wimbledon days. He told me so many good stories of his antics.
this was one of johnny cash's favorite movies. he hand picked joaquin to play him in walk the line because he loved his performance in this movie so much.
Hans Zimmer, much like James Horner, has a habit of recycling a lot of his work.
Such a goddamn amazing movie. Probably one of my favorite best picture winners
I love that ending! Hahaha they honor him, but just leave the other guy lying there for the vultures!! hahahaha ... and he finds his wife and child! Makes me cry of joy every time.
Stumbled upon your video and felt compelled to say bravo for recognizing and loving on some Hans Zimmer. This soundtrack is one of my favorites from him. From a fellow Zimmer fan to another, great ear! You've earned yourself a new subscriber.
"Are you not ENTERTAIN?!"
Direct your eyes to the far left of the screen in the stands. You will now never be able to unsee that guy in white t-shirt and jeans.
There's so many error like that I cannot unsee them now lmao, there's a guy in jeans when Maximum is cleaning his horse at the beginning and also an man in boots and bottle of gas in a chariot during the arena battle
😂😂😂 yep
@@Lulustucru2393 yeah, 21:04 is the tank of gas. Never saw it till someone pointed it out. Now it’s so obvious every time I watch it.
Same with the white t-shirt and cowboy hat guy in the background of the ending of Pirates of the Caribbean 1, when Jack is caressing the helm of the Black Pearl there is just a regular dude in the background taking in the sights of the Caribbean stretching out behind the shot.
Dude! Great reaction as usual. But leading off with a salute to Oliver Reed...that is something that only a real actor / reel actor...would do. We just subscribed! The show must go on.
It makes me tear up every time at the end when she says "Honor him". 😥
I’m the same man, I love listening to soundtracks above all other music..always been that way. It’s just a great escape and there’s so much out there to be appreciated. Glad you watched this film..it’s a very special one.
If you want to see a wonderful, slow burn revenge story watch Count of Monte Cristo. One of my favorites and the acting, costumes and scenery are amazing.
Acting is good but Luis Gomez’s acting was horrific. Love the movie but his acting really takes me out of it.
@@johnmorris8444 I dunno. I liked him. To each their own.
oh hell yea
@@NathanWolke really? I’ve seen that movie a dozen times, really enjoy the performances and story but Luis Gomez had the worst performance I have ever seen. Which is weird because he isn’t a terrible actor. Just the way he spoke his lines was so off, it would have been better if he was holding a script and reading it.
@@johnmorris8444 ok. Still my opinion.
Damnit man!!!! You didn’t play the line at the end where Djimon says “I will see you again, but not yet not yet.” CMON MAN!
I still get chills when he removes his helmet and says his line to Caesar.
If Peter O'Toole had been cast in this as well, the movie would have had all the surviving Hellraisers. Oh, what a set that would have been.
You: laughing uncontrollably
Me: confused
You: "I'm sorry, I'm thinking about this vine that I saw..."
Me: laughing uncontrollably
Also me: I hate you for that, I wish I could quit you :/
That shit was truly hilarious though tbf
My favorite scene is first fight at the Colosseum. Despite being stripped of all titles and status, his character as a leader did not change. Even as a mere Gladiator, he became more powerful than the Emperor. Great reaction.
Hans Zimmer can be subtle, mysterious, he can even get electronic, but when it comes to being epic - Gladiator is the gold standard for him.
Also the gold standard for Ridley Scott historical epics, while we're at it.
Please react to Braveheart (1995), The Patriot (2000), & The Last Samurai (2003) if you haven't seen them already.
Also Patton,The Longest Day & Spartacus.
"That's actually real fucked up that people did this throughout history."
Yeah, and now people lose their mental capacity over words.
Ah, good choice! - one of my favorite movies of all time! :-) such an emotional story, excellently told. And some admirable performances, in particular Crowe, Phoenix & Nielsen! :-)
Loved seeing Derek Jacobi as Gracchus in this film, he played Claudius in 'I Claudius' a BBC production years ago. He gave a stellar performance, and it was a no holds barred look at the Roman aristocracy and leaders. Its probably quite dated now, but in its day it was brilliant
Keep the Ridley Scott love coming - Kingdom of Heaven ( directors cut ) please!!
"I did not give that cup to you."
when his Grandma got better taste than him 😏
Thank you for this video, Gladiator is one of my most favorite movies of all time. Great reactions here! Greetings from the tiny Pacific islands of Palau!
When I was in college (I’m 41 now) every. Single. Guy. was obsessed with this movie, Fight Club, and The Matrix.
