Hey everyone! Sorry for the 2 week delay; I came down with the flu and had a terrible fever and sore throat for a week š I hope you enjoy part 1 of my Gladiator reaction, part 2 will be up in 24 hours ā¤
It was the movie that put Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix on the map.
Both great in it.
The old Roman emperor is played by Richard Harris, Dumbledor in the first two Harry Potter films.
The old Gladiator who takes Maximus under his wing is played by Oliver Reed, who died in Malta during production of the film.
He died as a result of his drinking, he was known for drinking A LOT, I mean what he drank in a day would put me in a coma if I drank even a tenth of that.
But his performance is one of the best in the film.
Fantastic movie.
Excellent Choice, this is one Epic Experience; really makes You Feel every Brutal Blow, and every Emotion too!!š
ā¤ā¤ā¤
It will be epic š
"Are you not entertained?!!" many quote it. But in my opinion, the most important quote, is "we mortals are but shadows and dust".
Saw Gladiator in the theater when it came out. Great experience. Awesome movie
Winner of 5 Oscars including Best Picture.
Shree, I'm in the process of moving. Thought I'd leave a quick note. Great choice, but be sure to give Tom H. a hard time! I may not be able to get to part 2 until I get internet back up again. But I can assure you " I'LL BE BACK! " oh, and dont forget about Quigley! š
Was this an extended version?!. Fun reaction! ššš
The most impressive thing about Germania vs the Roman Empire is that it was one of the few to stand against and repel the Roman siege. Rome tried and failed several times to conquer what we know now as Germany.
Weird animal fact – Gay giraffes are actually quite common in nature. Poor Proximo š
Elysium is like heaven in Greco Roman mythology (who gets admitted changes by the culture), and has come to mean 'a place of ideal happiness'.
I feel obliged to direct you towards the story of Spartacus, another gladiator of renown. Try the 1960 Stanley Kubrick movie first, with Kirk Douglas, and then perhaps the super violent hyper-sexualized show from Starz Spartacus:Blood and Sand, with John Hannah (from The Mummy) and Lucy Lawless (Xena)
OK hope I can clear some things up: the Roman Empire at this time (180 AD) was a Principate – in other words officially a republic governed by a Senate but actually a kingdom (and not by any means a democracy). The Romans back then regarded kings like Americans do today: they despised the idea of a tyranny, so those who became emperor went around that feeling by taking (or being voted by the Senate) titles like "high priest," "first among senators," and "Caesar," but never "king," even though the Senate and the people expected a strong military leader who would have the final say in all decisions.
The ruling Caesar at the beginning of the movie is Marcus Aurelius, who was in history both a military commander and an outstanding philosopher. He is probably the most intelligent and wise ruler in any Western state ever (even in the East, I think his only peers are Gautama Buddha, Lord Ram, and Gangaputra Bhishma) and his written Meditations are THE masterpiece of Stoic thinking. His son Commodus was co-ruler at the time of his death in 180, and he was completely different from his father; in fact, he was like Maximus in this movie and actually competed in the gladiator games regularly. But, he was such a terrible statesmen that one of his bodyguard assassinated him in the bathtub!
Cesar is a title now by the time of the movie. So the emperor is a Cesar but not "they" cesar you are thinking about. That one died nerly 160 years before the movie, also never was emperor title didn't exist at the time of his death.

Hey Shree. Sorry to hear you were I'll. I hope you're doing better. You chose a great movie. (5:10 and those were catapults š )
23:30 Maggot therapy is still used sometimes today, the Maggots only eat the dead, decaying tissue in a wound and their saliva contains stuff that helps wounds actually heal faster. If you truly want to be grossed out, look up Fecal Transplants.
Epic reaction its gonna be. Anyone who earned something gets respect but anyone who did not earned something dont get respect, unfortunately politics don't
appreciate that. That's what this movie is about.
Hello Shree
I have fond memories of this movie. I saw it at my high school senior class's New Year's party shortly after it was released on home video and it was only the second R-rated movie I had ever seen (Braveheart was the first, and I watched that one with my parents). I was blown away by the powerful story, tremendous acting and special effects, but the amount of gore made me slightly queasy.
I always have a hard time deciding between this and "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" as Russell Crowe's best film.
It was a Hyena not a wild dog. š
This is to much like the classic Charleston Heston " Ben Hur "
I know ancient history isnāt something easy to learn, given its immense depth and lack of truly verifying everything; without video, audio or photos at least. Just wanted to mention some facts. The character Marcus Aurelius (Joaquin Phoenixās father whom he smothers) being called āCaesarā is a name/title thatās adopted by Roman Emperors IRL. Julius Caesar who I assume is the person you were referencing in connection was a Roman general and statesman.
Records state he was born on July 12 100 BC and died March 15 44 BC at age 55. He was actually assassinated during a political meeting by multiple senators, including his ally Marcus Brutus. āEt tu, Brute?ā from Shakespeareās play from 1599 about the death is widely referenced a lot on media, including an episode of Hey Arnold! I remember seeing back in the 90ās. Although itās not believed to be Caesarās actual dying words. Gladiator takes place in 180 AD in comparison. Not trying to be critical here or anything, merely wanted to share some information is all.
Watch Part 2: https://youtu.be/uyTGu4lDFs8
@shree: Non-Italian Europeans who are in what once was the Empire have a very weird relationship with Rome. They're proud of it, but also proud of their previous independence, and it makes them say weird things. Shakespeare had one play that had the proto-British defeat the invading Romans, then the queen's like… "let's join Rome anyway, they seem great"
Living in the UK weāre lucky to have Roman history all over the place, thereās a city not far from me with the Roman walls around the original city and even the remains of a amphitheater
Elysium, is one of the heavens.
Caesar, originally the name of Gaius Julius Caesar, of Shakespearean fame, it became adopted by his successors as a title, the equivalent of Emperor. This Caesar is Marcus Aurelius, the sixteenth Emperor since Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered. He was considered one of the "Five good Emperors", even today he is generally well regarded.
Patricide was one of the worst crimes in ancient Roman, the punishment was appropriately horrific.
Maximus 'apprentice' is his orderly or servant.
Maggots were used to treat wounds, they would only eat the dead flesh so preventing the spread of infection and gangrene.
Maximus is a Spaniard. Spain was part of the Roman Empire called Hispania, so he is ethnically Spanish, but a Roman Citizen.
Scholars and scribes were valued, even if they were slaves, which suggests that he did something to end up in the arena.
S.P.Q.R. Means "Senatus Populusque Romanus" in classical Latin, in English "The Roman Senate and People"; or more poetically "The Senate and People of Rome" The Senate of Roman was the Government, Senators were 'elected' and the Emperor's power came from them and the people. There are a lot of similarities between the American Presidents and the Roman Emperors.
I think the animal chained up in Proximo's (Oliver Reed) quarters is a hyena, but i am far from an expert concerning animals.
The Colosseum was more properly the Flavian Amphitheatre. It is believed to have acquired the name Colosseum from the "Colossus of Nero" after the enormous, 30 metre, bronze statue erected around 67 A.D. by Emperor Nero of himself, was moved around 128 A.D. by Emperor Hadrian to stand beside the Amphitheatre.
27:43 the tattoo that Maximus is removing, SPOR, stands for the Senate and People of Rome.
A thing to know about the roman empire that they were U.S. of ancient time.
Romans rebelled against Etruscans – US rebelled against England.
They expand across the Europe – US expanded across North America.
Romans defeated Carthaginians – US defeated USSR.
….and become ultimate world power in the west – … and become ultimate world power in the west.
Rome eventually imploded – ? š
Glad your feeling better miss shree Cesar is a title after Julius it's the emperor of rome
Miss shree if you want a great history lesson watch histo of the entire world. I guess?, a lot of India history in that video
Comidous went all joke on dumbledore
The real big gladiator that ate maximus food is an actual American gladiator he was on the tv show American gladiators I think his name was tower
That was a hyena not a wild dog
Feel better! Great React! š
"Has he given that in writing to any of his ministers?"
You are a student of History, even if you don't know Roman history. š
Great reaction. I actually watched the battle scene at the beginning being filmed as a guest on set with my football club as a 16 year old kid that part the film was shot in military land in Aldershot UK
Le film gladiator et beaucoup trop mis en avant en film-reaction par rapport Ć 1492 Christophe colomb sortie en 1992,c'est bien dommage ???.
Still sound awesome miss!
Catapults are tension based trebuchets are momentum based. Outcome is similar
