So true... I remember watching this at my town theater back in the day, man what a feeling... The theater has since closed, but sometimes i just drive by to feel these epic moments i spent there...
I would love it set from the perspective of a Roman Triarii so that you can check all the boxes and get that heroic final stand that the Triarii had at that battle as maybe a younger brother or even a son to the MC retreats and recounts the story to the Roman Senate. Then, we can make a sequel that goes with Scipio in Africa
I know there are a lot of historical oddities or inaccuracies in this whole battle sequence, but damn it really gives you a sense of what the Romans were capable of when they brought their full force to bear.
@@luisffernandezlopez3552 Romans fought in tight formation. In this we see the typical Hollywood battlefield of everyone splitting off into one-on-one duels.
@luisffernandezlopez3552 believe that the fire arrows are a Hollywood liberty. I'm no expert and could be wrong I am however pretty sure that the roman military never used fire arrows. The catapults ect I have no idea but definitely don't think they ever used fire arrows.
@@the.watcher.on.the.wall.. I am no expert either, but it's not a coincidence that catapults, ballista, tribuchet are called siege weapons. Lucky for the Romans here that Germans attacked from the "front" instead of going around them. Also that they patiently waited for the Romans to load the catapults. They look more like modern artillery weapons. Also good question what sense it makes to set the forest on fire, where your soldiers are too :D Or that Maximus' cavalry would essentially charge into their own infantry, but likely their horses would have broken all their legs while running in a forest
I watched Gladiator in the cinema when it first came out in 2000. This epic battle looks awesome remastered. Brings back the nostalgia of seeing it first time. Thanks for sharing 👍
Still mesmerising after 24 years. The sheer might of the Roman army is so beautifully portrayed. But it’s the score that really makes this scene so powerful.
3:20 This sequence is some of my favorite shit in the whole movie. That banging score building to a crescendo as Maximus' voice cuts through the chaos of battle, Roman's moving in to attack from all directions.
That blurry sequence is the finest moment of Maximus line "At my signal unleash the hell". They shoot those scenes mistakenly with wrong daylight and had to blurr it because there's was not enough frames to make it smooth. For the sake of art they made a mastefully emotional seqeunce. Both tragic, surreal and poetic. I always cry at that moment. Pure magic of cinema. You never know when some problem or decision turn a movie into gold.
Saw this in the theater many summers ago, time sure does zoom past. I can still remember this as one of maybe a handful of really earth changing experiences in a cinema as a youth.
This, relatively short, opening scene had the most memorable quotes squeezed into something like 8-9 minutes. -People should know when theyre conquered. -Would you, Quintus? Would I? -If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun in your face - do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and youre already dead! -Brothers! What we do in life echoes in eternity!
They literally set a forest ablaze for this. They found a place that was set to be put to the torch for the sake of a controlled burn and were given the go ahead to film there. That long shot. That long sweeping shot was a thing of beauty. this opening gives good example of why Rome is still highly regarded even thousands of years later.
LMAO I dont think most people notice that in the non 4k release. If you look at Lord of the Rings Two towers, you can clearly see Gandalfs body double in some scenes on the horse now.
A little late here, but, that was how the Romans fought. You stayed in formation, because your gear was designed with the guy next to you in mind. Breaking formation typically meant death. So, while those guys are just standing there, it's actually for a good reason. When filming, the extras were all reenactors, so I think they know what's up.
@@itsallgoodman4108 If anyway Markus Aurelius here shows far more care than the typical rich men sending the poor bastards to die in their name. He at least has the courtesy of showing up to see for himself instead of waiting on a gilded throne. Also Markus Aurelius was a well regarded philosopher and exemplar of Stoicism. for those willing to dive in and do a bit of reading his writings and perspectives are genuinely fascinating.
Maximus' loyal dog (wolf) heading out to battle alongside him was a nice touch by Ridley Scott. Kyte was a Belgian Shepherd by breed. If you're a shepherd owner, you can totally relate to this.
Yeah, I can totally relate to my shepherd following me into battle, rather than growling at the Geico gecko on the television and eating a fly buzzing around his head.
This upload is exactly how it’s supposed to be, 3:11 you get the view of Marcus Aurelius and you can notice how many fire lit arrows were being fired at the Germanian Hordes by the Felix Legion. TY for the upload.
My local cinema was showing this last month. Even though I've seen it countless times, hell yes did I pay to watch it on the big screen! My favourite movie of all time and always will be!
I watched this HDR release. This battle is SO dark it's sometimes hard to see what's going on. I understand it was shot in the relative darkness but... damn. Everything after this scene looks beautiful, daytime scenes especially.
You can visit where this was filmed in Bourne Wood, Farnham is about an hour from Waterloo and it’s a couple of miles from the station if you fancy it.
The emperor's body language at the end is very interesting. Looks as though he's breathing a sigh of relief, as though he wasn't quite so sure about the outcome of the battle.
He's at the end of his reign and is contemplating the futility of it all. He knows his son and heir apparent is a young hot head who will just continue to let the wheel spin but into his own direction. Nothing will change and that the inevitable end will be as every other nation in time immemorial.
The weight upon Roman emperor had to be enormous. Maybe that is why lot of them decided to just "procrastinate" from it with priestesses of love, games, theatre and intrigues. Like, the knowledge that you crush one tribe, one realm and two stronger enemies will stand on their debris....#thugLife
I saw this 25+ years ago with my (then) girlfriend and when he said "...unleash Hell", she thought he was talking about his dog...like the dog's name was "Hell". Oh yeah...she didn't last much longer.
Shows how bloody real war is. We've not seen the like since 1945, true hate for another human. Romans where the bad guys, to think billions of humans have died to war since our species emerged out the water. Something needs to change.
I have watched this opening battle multiple times throughout the years. One of my all time favorites. Thanks for this 4K HDR version. I just saw things I have never noticed before. Watching the wack a$$ trailer for the upcoming Gladiator film brought me here tonight.
Siege of whiterun, Solitude, and or Windhelm are closest we get. Though there are mods that add battles between imperials and stormcloaks. Frame rate suffers, but man is it a fun time
3:10 Really gives you a chill seeing what a full on assault from th Roman Empire would have looked like. I bet they felt the world tremble during such an asssault. Can you imagen the feeling, being on either side?
Not for not they conquered a vast majority of the world and were recognized as a world power. Its military strength allowed it to expand to vast countries. Army was well trained and disciplined. That and the Bible foretold that it would become a nation of influence, which branches of it exist today in the form of the us and uk
Exactly the same feeling here. This scene is the one I remember the most. When I saw it the first time at the Cinema [on a massive, curved screen with full-blast surround sound], I said to myself; Jesus, Romans are so powerful, no wonder they ran over so many far-away Kingdoms.
I was an extra on the barbarian side in this battle scene. I can confirm that having a Roman army advance and face off with you is indeed an awesome and very intimidating thing. They kept the cameras quite well hidden during the filming and so at times the sights and sounds were totally authentic.
@@benitoluera8467 majority of the world is a bit of an exaggeration, they conquered Europe and a small part of North Africa. Incredible part of history but let's not get carried away lol.
Still amazing after all these years. Yeah, of course there were many errors in terms of weapon usage, like pila (plural of pilum) that were usually thrown (and were design to break after the contact so enemies could not throw them back) and not employed like the sarisses (plural of sarissa) of the Macedonian phalanx (only the Hastati employed the hasta [the spear] in this way within the manipular army of the Republican era), nor the equites cataphractarii (the chivalry) were (usually) employed to encircle the enemies and strike them from behind but they operated on the flanks in order to cross with the heavy infantry ordered in a triplex acies on the battlefield, not even the infantrymen in the cohortal army were used to slowly walk towards the enemy but when they were so close to the enemy lines to being unable to throw their pila, then they start to run at full speed and charged frontally against the enemy, a tactic known as "shock and charge" as Cassio Dione reported in Historia Romana, 62.12.1-2. Honestly, however, we know very little about the tactics effectively used. Last but not least, Maximus Decimus Meridius twice shout "Roma victor!" but this is incorrect as Roma is a name of feminine gender and then the right phrase is "Roma victrix!".
When you realize the purpose of the fire from the catapults was to keep the Barbarians from fleeing, it makes the Romans seem even more badass. The Romans were tired of the Germanic tribes fleeing and evading them in battle.
At 4:00 if you slow it down to 0.25x you’ll see a barbarian casually walking like some random guy during a busy day at a shopping mall. At the center of screen right beside the lion banner.
Not only are a bunch of barbarians just casually standing around or strolling while their buddies charge in like maniacs, a bunch of legionaries and the signifer are also just standing around and watching the barbarians stare back at them, while their fellow legionaries are slugging it out with the other barbarians that smash right into them.
@@machirim2805 This movie has many mistakes that made it to the final cut and most of us would definitely miss it. I knew them from reading from iMDB haha On the 'are you entertained?' scene there's even crew member wearing white t-shirt and jeans on far left of the screen. Rewatching this movie is a different experience than the first time lol
At 5:30, I can never understand why CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) edited it out the scene of the guy on fire getting smacked with the sword while letting much more gory scenes like decapitation.
So a big reason for the CBC edits of films was to cut down the runtime to run advertisements. Scenes their editors thought were unimportant, like some cutaway shots, cinematic scenery panning, and some other combat scenes, like the death of the trident wielder in the first gladiator match, got axed to squeeze in a few ads.
