Absolute masterpiece of a scene - so much building up to this moment in the film - it was amazing when I first saw it

I am always amazed by Crowe's delivery of those lines. Starting determined as befitting the rank of a general, the tremor in his voice midway through the speech when he painfully remembers and mentions his dead family, and finally ending it again (kinda) emotionally composed but grimly determined about having his vengeance. Those lines coming from a veteran - although fallen low - still commands respect for he is very dangerous to Commodus: A very clear target in mind, nothing left to lose, with extensive experience on the battlefield and the fame included with his name. Phoenix's reaction is spot on and exactly represents my feelings after that speech. He realizes the immediate danger coming from Maximus prowess and charisma.

I'm here because of Joaquin. A true testament of how good of an actor he is. Being an amazingly evil is one of his elements.

Phoenix face was glorious to watch. You felt the scene.

Such a badass scene you can see when the emperor shits his pants haha

People sleep on Joaquin ... his performance as ceaser is a masterpiece one of my favourite actors... the casting of this movie was brilliant

The juxtaposition of a man who craves the attention and love of people that he is consumed and controlled by it versus a man who earns that respect through his actions and life of servitude. These two are truly the greatest hero/villain combo of all time

love the way he takes a breath and closes his eyes at 0:55. weighing up a huge choice, he chooses potential death, could have been slaughtered right then, but the best speech ever ensued!

An underrated element in this scene is the inner world of Maximus. Note the decision to pick up the would-be murder weapon is made when the son is fully out of sight and absent from the scene. You can see the conflict Maximius feels upon witnessing a father's love... even that from a sworn nemesis and enemy. His principles and values provoke a painstakingly loud dilemma in his heart and mind. I feel this is why he diverts his gaze down to the ground... because the hug and affection takes command of his rage. The son unknowingly becomes a shield and one of the only possible defenses that Maximus could not battle through works. It's so much for him to bear that his entire demeanor shifts. We are then shown what are presumed to be empty hands once Maximus turns his back and walks away. It stands to reason that the turn and walk helps Maximus hide his original plan by either disposing of or concealing the weapon. Instead, he attacks with an even more powerful weapon in a means that is conducive to alignment with his values and beliefs. He fully realizes in that moment (during the staredown especially) that this attack will protect the son's life, which matters more to him than his vengeance (in this life or the next). Note the importance of this exchange in the young boy's sudden awareness of his father's evil ways too. Remember the counsel he was given: "I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom."

As someone said, it wasn't the Emperor's son, but his nephew. Otherwise excellent comment. Thank you for it. I think it is all about the meaning of honour. Maximus feels responsible to adhere to standards of high ethics and honour. This makes him.special. It's his strength. It also limits his thirst for vengeance, which gives him strength too, but will also kill him in the end. The boy - who was like his murdered son - reminds him of the greatest responsibility: to live with honour. This is where his vengeance becomes justice. Maximus sees killing an unarmed man, by "surprise", is a cowardly act. A disgrace. Dishonorable. I feel he sees his son in the child too. There was a risk that the boy could be hurt, in an attack on Commodus. Physically. But more importantly, Maximus would be viewed by his "son", metaphorically, and the future of Rome, as a coward. It would hurt the boy's view of him. Notice it's "Strength and honour", they keep on saying. Like the traditional wedding vow: "Love and honour". In both cases, "honour" is additional. It means something else, something more. One critic says it well: "Maximus is a hero who loses everything, but not because of a mistake or a momentary lapse of judgement: it is his very goodness that brings on his head punishment, heartache, and loss. But it’s his adherence to his principles that allows him to rise " Powerful scene. You can write a book on it.

Oh my God what a performance of Commodus, his face is damn white...
