    Hannah is right: it's about love, and loyalty, and also about strength and honor/morality, who has it and who doesn't, and even if you die for it, it's worth dying for. One of my favorite all time movies.

  • @snakesocks
    @snakesocks Před rokem +199

    The writers felt that the early script lost energy when it became a simple revenge story. So they introduced a theme of the afterlife that the hero wants to get to. This way, Maximus' main motivation for the whole film is _a soldier trying to get home to his family_ . It's also how the hero can die at the end & yet you still feel like it's a victory.

    17:16 That actor actually died in a bar from a heart attack before they finished the movie. So instead of getting another actor and reshooting his parts, they decided to rewrite some parts to depict him dying in the movie. They did it partially because he was a well respected actor.
    He was originally supposed to be the guy at the final scene of the movie who buries those little statues in the coliseum.

    "Brothers, what we do in life... echoes in eternity."
    Gladiator is an epic Ancient Roman historic drama masterpiece. It works on so many levels: the acting is phenomenal, the story is compelling, the backdrop of the film is beautiful. It's destined to be a classic, which is a film that can be watched and appreciated with each subseqent viewing.
    Also, Hans Zimmer does an excellent job in composing beautiful music that captures the tone of the film. The song, "Now We Are Free" by Lisa Gerrard that plays during the film credits is hauntingly beautiful and hypnotic. It's simply one of the greatest film scores ever made and shall be timeless for the rest of time.

      Yeah, it's not historical accurate (Commodus was on the battlefield, he was a bunch of years co-emperor with his father, he ruled 16 years, he didn't die in the arena (but he was a total asshole, that's accurate :)) ), but who cares, it's a movie, not a documentary. It is kinda a new version of The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964). But i think it's the best version that could have been made...simply great.

    Guys a fun fact for you, in Rome adoption was a very serious issue (adults were adopted too) to the point that the adoptive son would have a higher status than the natural sons; Maximus (in the movie) is the adoptive son of the Caesar so it is just natural that he would be the next caesar. It was the same for Julius Caesar, his adoptive son Augustus became caesar, his natural son with Cleopatra, Caesarion, did not.

    Before Russell Crowe was cast as Maximus, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson, Tom Sizemore, and Tom Cruise were considered. Hugh Jackman was even considered for the role, but was an unknown actor and had been cast as Wolverine in the live action X MEN movie which Crowe was considered, but turned it down.
    Filming began in January 1999 and wrapped up in May of that year.
    The opening battle scene was filmed in Surrey England, the gladiator training school was filmed in Morocco and finally the scenes involving Ancient Rome were filmed in Malta and lasted for 19 weeks.
    Crowe sustained several injuries during filming and almost died as a result, and nearly got himself killed by the tiger while fighting Tigris Of Gaul.

    Another tearjerker with the great Djimon Hounsou that's accompanied by another incredible score is Blood Diamond. That one's a must-watch. It gets me everytime just like Gladiator does.

    That “old bloke” is Marcus Aurelius. Arguably the greatest emperor of Rome and an anomaly in terms of how genuinely how benevolent he was. You should read The Meditations.

  • @fangirlalliecat
    @fangirlalliecat Před rokem +5

    If you love revenge stories like Gladiator, you both should react to The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)! The actor that played Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator (and Dumbledor from the first two Harry Potter movies) plays a major character. There’s also an appearance by young Henry Cavill! It’s SUCH a good story about vengeance and taking back control of your life after you’ve been stabbed in the back.

    The world building is the fact that Rome itself is a character. He did all this for the people of Rome . At that point we he lost everything the only thing he had left was to protect the one thing he had left Rome . He was able to get back to his family.

    My favorite movie of all time!! The acting, soundtrack, theatrics, story, etc! There's nothing like it. I could watch this movie every day. The only others that come close are Braveheart, The Last Samurai, Rob Roy, The Last of the Mohicans and 300.

    • @gog583
      @gog583 Před rokem +1

      "Rob Roy". I've been saying that for years!. The best movie no one's seen. Tim Roth received his only Oscar nomination for his role in that movie. The movie never had a chance to get a foothold since it was released months apart for "Braveheart. But like Braveheart, it's about an actual person from Scottish history (Rob Roy Macgreggor). . Stars Liam Neeson in the title role. If you go to the IMDB there are a lot of 10 out 0f 10's from viewers for this movie.

  • @MrDevintcoleman

    About the thumbs up thing. What I’ve heard is that the origin of how it was used in Rome during the games was that the thumb symbolized the sword. A very common battle tactic of Rome was to have a jagged line of shields and they’d March toward another army, those soldiers would get funneled in the “teeth” of the “saw” made by the shape of the formation and they would thrust their swords into the enemies’ stomach, angle it up, and drive it into their stomach/heart/lungs for a quick kill so with the tip up (of both the thumb and sword) it means you’re dead.

    • @calebk8202
      @calebk8202 Před rokem +1

      Another thing that is misinterpreted is the thumbs up in an upward movement, when it was more of a forward, thrusting movement as if you were stabbing. Also the thumbs down, downward motion was symbolic of sheathing your sword. It makes total sense why they changed it for the movie though as we are more simplistic and thumbs up/down is easily portrayed as live/die.

  • @fgialcgorge7392

    IDK if anyone told you guys but the kid who played Joffrey in Game of Thrones based a lot of his mannerisms and portrayal of Joffrey on Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of Commodus.

    One of my favourite movies! About the thumb up or down: I read somewhere that in roman times, thumbs up meant kill your opponent. Thumbs down meant stick the sword in the sand, and let the losing opponent live. Sometime during history the thumbs sign changed to mean the opposite.

    Hi Ash, this is a truly legendary movie from Ridley Scott. One of my childhood favourites. Scott has another great movie, the title is Kingdom of Heaven. It's about the situation of Jerusalem between the 2nd and 3rd crusade. I think you would love it, but make sure you watch the director's cut which was not the victim of the studio's greed and stupidity.

    Ash was so excited, like a little child. In a way, Ash is right because you guys are so entertaining but you actually analyze and digest the movies you watch while you react to it and it’s beautiful. You are interested, you pick up on the symbolisms, the parallels and pay attention to the plot and I love that.
    I would love to recommend these movies:
    The Sixth Sense
    Mother!
    The Witch
    I believe you will pick up on the symbolisms all of those bring for sure!
