​@@LeBrow420gerarld butler is way unpolished in terms of acting compared to Russell Crowe . Crowe has proven he's a better actor with those Oscar nominations(and winning in Gladiator). And a streak of doing very quality projects after Gladiator.

Yep, I have, it never gets old for me

Joaquin Phoenix was sooo convincing as an immoral emperor, it made me believe it was very possible they were like that. Russell Crowe was perfect for that part because he displayed a realistic General who didn't have to be monstrously big, and extremely fast but had masterful skill and knew how to be a leader with humility.

The soundtrack is just awesome too. Hans Zimmer is a genius. Same league as the late Vangelis. Rest in peace my friend. 😢😢

I'm shocked given how huge the movie was that this only has 1116 views, and not 10,000+ views at least.

Well...

I owe everything to my brother Dan because he was the one that showed me this movie. We watched it for the first time on his laptop and I was blown away with how amazing it was. The movie may be 23 years old..... But it still is in my opinion one of the coolest movies that I have ever saw in my life

These days a lot of people dismiss what's referred to as toxic masculinity as woke or basically bad or sissy or pussy in ways that aren't well articulated or argued. The Marcus Aurelius/Commodus patricide scene illustrated perfectly. The entire entire life of Commodus as depicted illustrates it perfectly. He's acting out a role. He understands nothing about virtues and behaves accordingly. Maximus on the other hand. husband father faithful friend loyal soldier. In the end, he gives his life to put Rome back on the track of Republican democracy rather than empire, which, of course never happened. The movie works well for people who don't even give a damn about themes, morality, and meaning because the visuals are so splendid and spectacular and the fighting is suspenseful and gripping.

The meaning of the thumb down is still debated actually. Some experts think it could mean "sheath your sword", which is actually the opposite of death. The point is there are no such an amount of historical references to tell.

I think sheath your sword makes more sense tbh because a thumbs up shows the approval of the King which logically makes sense as the King wanting the Gladiator to finish off the other Gladiator

How come they are talking about having a script but then in another making of they said they didn't have a script. I believe there was a script because no studio would give them 150m million without a script

no there was a script but it wasn't actually finished because the original screenwriter (The guy in the video, David Franzoni) pulled out for some reason. He only completed about 20 pages, the rest was filled in with Ridley, Russell and a mix of other screenwriters from all over the world.

Maximus dying was thee biggest disappointment to the end of a Film i'd ever seen!!! I couldn't believe it...yes he got home but his eternal home!?!😢

❤❤❤❤❤🎉

Why was the timing right? It came out in the year 2000 AD.

Seems to me the motivation of going back home (with family alive) would have been more powerful in terms of universal theme than vengeance. The possible love relationship btw Maximus and Lucilla is the less interesting relationship, so that alone wouldn't have justified the switch from going home to vengeance. But then we would have lost the powerful scene of discovering the bodies and losing everything... Creation is just about making choices and there are 10 potential stories behind the one we see.

"How dare you kneel in front of the flag, gladiator! Don't have thoughts! That's me, I'm above you! Entertaining me! I DECIDE! - The Romans, today

‘Blood sport is exciting’? What a strange narrative

When you see TV anchors salivating about people in other country being killed which we feel is the ‘enemy’, it reminds me of the Romans.

im guessing this must be a reference to the ukraine-russia conflict? if so i do agree, don't get me wrong the ukraines had suffered so much and the war had made many ukrainian civilians and soldiers homeless and without home, i hope they do prevail through the conflict, but the media glorifies the imagery of war where they would have many reports of so many russian vehicles/soldiers loosing their lives and without even the slightest sincerity sometimes, not only that, they would describe "most" russians as blood thirsty war mongers (they do not say that directly, but they heavily imply it) im not a ukrainian or russian, im a Filipino and i can only say my opinion/view on the matter. when it comes to which side im routing id say im routing for none, though i do feel sympathy to the ukrainian civilians who lost their homes and just wants the war to be over, theres also those misfortunate enough to be tortured to death because the torturers are blinded and defeaned by their rage that the gore and screams they inflict sound like nothing to them

Hunger games movies can only dream of being as epic as this film,

Death in Roman times was all around. Life expectancy was low. Disease was rampant. Rules and laws were different with public executions. And everyone believed in the after life. Death was normal. It was seen everyday. Not like now where it’s all hidden and feared. It’s not such a big jump to see sport having that extra layer. As life (and death) in those times had that extra layer.

Film full of imperfection... for example the famous gas cylinder on the chariot 😂
