  1. One of my all time favorites. My mom didn't allow me to watch it when it was new so one day when she was away I jumped on my bike and rented the VHS and went back home to watch the movie and then I biked back before my mom got home so she wouldn't know, hahaha.
    I agree with you on the kiss, it comes pretty much out of nowhere and is very weird for him to do.
    Great reaction! I got tickets for the second movie on the 14th, so hyped!

  2. At the start of the film, when Maximus rides home to see his family, he pretty much rides all the way from Germany to Spain. That's why the horse collapsed and died under him

  3. The actor who played Proximo (the Gladiator trainer) was Oliver Reed. He was an extraordinary british actor, with a very interesting, fascinating and atypical life. He also was known for his alcoholism, having some scandals on TV and cinema as a consequence of this. During the filming of Gladiator in 1999, he sadly passed away. He had been sober for months, but one night (during a break from filming the movie) in an Irish pub in Malta (after a bet), he drank three bottles of Jamaican rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous double whiskeys and challenged five young English sailors of the Royal Navy to arm-wrestling at The Pub bar (which after this incident was called Ollie's Last Pub). His bill, which was never paid, is preserved in a decorative frame in the bar.

  4. "I wonder if this was inspired by a true story"
    Commodus, Marcus Areleus, and Lucilla were all real; Maximus was not.
    Commodus was pretty much the jackass the movie made him out to be, and there were a number of plots against him during his rule. The one organized by Lucilla failed and she was exiled and eventually executed. It was another plot that was put together by his mistress that eventually succeeded. Although Commodus did fancy himself a gladiator and fought in the Collosseum (in rigged fights that he would always win) but was not killed in a match. They hired a wrestler, Commodus's sparring partner, to strangle him in his bath.

    The heroic gladiator who defied Rome was Spartacus who actually managed to escape and lead a slave revolt. It was eventually put down by Julius Caesar but for a while, Rome was really worried and Spartacus caused them a lot of trouble. (This was all before Caesar seized power. Rome was still a republic.)
    The Hays code era gladiator epic was Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus" and the Starz TV series, produced in the style of "300" is a great show to check out. THEN you should check out HBO's "Rome" for the story of how Caesar becomes emperor.

  6. GALDIATOR CAME OUT IN 2000 WHILE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN CAME OUT IN 2003. SO INSTEAD OF SAYING GLADIATOR SOUNDS LIKE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN YOU SHOULD SAY THAT PIRATES SOUND LIKE GLADIATOR! Got it?

  7. You should see Gladiator II in the theaters rather than 9 months later on streaming. Everyone would’ve seen it by then. Some movie you gotta see on the big screen, not on a small computer monitor.

  8. Hello, if you don’t mind, can you do a movie reaction on a movie called, 1492: Conquest of Paradise.
    Adventure/Drama (1992). It stars Gérard Depardieu, Siqourney Weaver, Armand Assante. It portrays a version of the travels to the New World by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and the effect this had on indigenous peoples.
    Directed by Ridley Scott. Thank you, Chris.

  9. "The one who wants it the least is the one who deserves it the most" – Good leadership quote. As veteran..the counting of days, thinking and desiring to be home, caring out those you serve with, seeing the horrors of war and wanting peaceful life…etc…everything Maximus did literally is what veterans go through.

  10. You have a good ear. The music for Gladiator was composed by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard. Zimmer also composed the music for Pirates of the Caribbean. Hence, there are definitely some similar themes, as you picked up on.
