The American version of not saying something before it happens is, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." And, as Americans, we assume the characters are speaking in their own language but we hear it in English. It's not confusing. If you've watched "The Hunt for Red October", You'll see the Russians speaking in Russian with subtitles in English but after a few minutes, they make a smooth transition to speaking English for the rest of the movie.
One of Ridley Scott's most legendary productions alongside Alien & Blade Runner. The revival of the 'Sword and Sandals' era. First summer blockbuster of the new millienium. 48 consecutive awards in all for it's praise. Epic storytelling, performances, setting, costumes and original score. You never get away from something this great and as epic as it should be.
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.
Salve Vanessa 😀 🎬Salutamus Vos!!! " Are you not Entertained" ⚔️ I'm stoked your watching this Epic Masterpiece at long last. They captured the Splendour of Ancient Rome , the attention to detail was impressive. The Colosseum was Breathtaking ( a far cry from the ruins you visited but memorable never less , you only have to use your imagination). All the Performances were outstanding , Russell Crowe was Phenomenal as Maximus , your fully invested in his struggle for Revenge & Honouring his solemn Pledge to restore the Republic. Joaquin presence as Commodus was bone chilling , he has a exceptional talent for playing repugnant & complex characters. The Real Commodus referred to himself as the Gladiator Emperor , a Megalomaniac who charged the state for his appearances which led to the early fall of Rome. Joaquin was very nervous on set ( first blockbuster) trying out his method approach asking Russell Crowe to slap & insult him between takes , so Russell went to Richard Harris ( emperor Marcus) who suggested they should get him tipsy ( on Guinness) to calm his nerves & get the message across that everything he needs to do with the character lives within him. The way the Action 🏹 💥 were filmed was Awesome , Brutally Realistic. After Maximus briefs his Troops saying " Strength & Honor" was improvised by Crowe who also ad libbed other lines in the movie. Ridley Scott got lucky finding Bourne woods in Surrey doubling for a German forest because it was about to be felled & burnt down anyway. What made the Roman Centurions so Successful was there Discipline under pressure in tight formations ( like the Spartans) & there superior weapons. The so called Barbarians did have the advantage when it came to hit & run Guerrilla Warfare tactics if they were able to split up the legions. In 9 AD , 3 Legions were ambushed & destroyed in the Teutoburg forest. Maximus pet 🐺 Kyte was actually a Belgian Shepherd Dog , they weren't allowed to use wolves under the UK laws . He's also famous for being in the Soap EastEnders. Maximus victorious return to Rome , it was perfect casting to have Richard Harris as Emperor Marcus ( Crowe often been compared to him in his younger years). Your right how could Maximus possibly refuse such a Offer , but he's more used to outdoing his enemy's on the battlefield not the backstabbing antics of the Senate. Gracchus (Derek Jacobi , TV series I Claudius ) one of few who you could trust. Commodus was desperate for his Father's love & approval but like most pathetic failures his lust for power matters more. Joaquin was so caught up in killing his father that he passed out on set. Maximus determination to rise through the ranks as a Champion Gladiator was remarkable. Crowe throw himself in to the role , the Action scenes did take there toll , a broken foot , cracking his hip , popping tendons & losing feeling in his finger for a few years. I liked the friendships struck up with Juba & Hagan , Djimon (Juba) had to know how to swordfight but got carried away almost injuring someone in the head as Maximus gets on his horse. Ralf Moeller was a former bodybuilder who also famous for playing Conan in the TV series & along Van Damme in Cyborg. Connie Nielsen as Lucille was willing to risk everything to stop her insane brother , it's disgusting what took place among Roman upper classes but it doesn't surprise me. It would have been interesting to see what could have been if Lucille & Maximus Love blossomed. Connie character is one of the strongest women I've ever seen on screen. Oliver Reed as Proximo is always Captivating on screen but difficult to work with due to his drinking. He's character had a intriguing back story with some of the best lines like " win the crowds & you will win your freedom". Crowe & Reed didn't get along even challenging him to a fight because he reminded him to much of himself , so they choose not to speak to one another off set .He did come through when it counted "we mortals are but shadows & dust "sacrificing himself. His character wasn't meant to die but because Reed lost his life in a drinking contest with some sailors ( maybe that's the way he wanted to go) they had to use unfinished footage , CGI & a body double to finish his scene & give him a fitting send off 🎭 🙏 Maximus racing 🐎 to save his family in vain was so Heartbreaking. Don't ever apologize for crying & not holding back on your feelings Vane , having a big ❤️ is why we like you so much. I find it unbelievable that anyone could be that ruthless & cruel but it happens. It must have been hard & emotionally draining for Crowe to do a scene like that. I like the moments Maximus has with Juba , coming from N Africa , the Carthage Empire was the biggest rival & threat to Roman power. It was a touching moment Maximus believing he will be together again with his family. The Elysium Fields was a place of rest in the afterlife , a paradise for Heroes & the most Virtuous Blessed by the Gods. Muchas Gracias , your heartfelt Reactions & insightful takes are the Best , I'll be sure to include another comment along with more Trivia for part 2 , Cuidate Adios 📽️ 🤗 🏵️ 👍 Gladiator is a original story pitched by David Franzoni , not a expert on Roman history but found inspiration from the 1958 📖 Novel " Those about to Die" by P. Mannix Most of the scenes were filmed on the island of Malta over 19 weeks. The iconic Colosseum was 1/3 scale at 52 ft tall & took 7 months to build costing a million dollars. There were 10, 000 Costumes made along with 30,000 pieces of Armour. Ridley Scott was convinced to make the movie after seeing the famous 1872 Painting Pollice Verso ( with a turned thumb) by french artist Jean Leon Gerome There were issues with the early script with only 32 pages to shoot with. William Nicholson ( First Knight) came in & added more making Maximus more sensitive , expanded on the friendships & the Afterlife aspect. Connie ( part time historian ) complained about it making reference's to museum & the police which didn't exist in Ancient Rome. Russell Crowe felt unworthy of all the praise for his Oscar win & thought Scott deserved it more. Pavarotti was asked to sing for the soundtrack before Lisa Gerrard came on board but refused. Han Zimmer & his great score was sued for claiming it sounded to similar to Holst Mars : The bringer of war. 🎞️ 👌
One thing that always boggled my mind. If Marcus knows his son so well, why did he not take any precautions. The only person he told was Maximus?! I thought he said he can see his own death?
The thing is, that works very well for the Emperor that Marcus is based off of - Marcus Aurelius. He's often championed as a philosophical stoic leader, yet because he appointed his own, completely unsuitable son to be the next Emperor who nearly ended up destroying the entire Roman state, and was certainly a destabilising contribution to it's eventual destruction... was he actually all that great a leader?
The truth of accents in Hollywood is, of course, that the characters speak with a flattened accent to make the viewing experience easier to understand and more appealing for a broader English-speaking audience. Another reason though that people don't speak with Spanish or Italian accents is because neither language existed until hundreds of years after Marcus Aurelius' reign. 😅 Even though it's not historically accurate, this really is a brilliantly entertaining film; a great historical drama. 👏
Supongo que puedo aclarar un par de detalles y son que: 1.Todos los que ven esta película siempre se preguntan como es posible que la gente viese a los gladiadores matarse entre ellos y es que Hollywood nos ha hecho creer que siempre era un duelo a muerte pero los gladiadores eran más actores que guerreros, como la lucha libre en México. Alrededor del 10% moría y generalmente eran accidentes o los condenados a muerte así que no importaban de todas formas. 2. La película nos da a entender que Máximo era hijo adoptivo del Cesar por lo que no sería raro que Máximo fuese sucesor del mismo ya que los hijos adoptivos tenían mayor estatus que los naturales, por ejemplo: el hijo de Julio Cesar y Cleopatra, Cesarión, es una nota al pie de la historia de Roma mientras que Augusto, el adoptado fue emperador después de él.
The region of Trujillo at that time, it is in Spain, definitely .. The region of the conquistodor Pizarro in the future).. Well, the emphasis on the Italian style, the costs of cinema.. It is strange that it is not true Latin, and not a version of plebeian Latin that has survived to this day. .
19:00 Yes, several of the characters should have different accents, but I don't think it would make a lot of sense to make the accents similar to what they are today. Maximus wouldn't be speaking with a spanish accent, for example, because spanish didn't exist at the time, and neither did modern italian. He would be speaking latin with an accent from the iberian peninsula (which was called Hispania at the time). It would have been a lot of work to do the film in latin or even in spanish and italian. Or even just the accents, it would probably be difficult for the actors to act that way (and native speakers would notice their accents are not good). In any case, as you point out, Hollywood cares more about the audience in anglo countries anyway.
They don't have the accents, because those accents did not exist yet. Both Spanish and Italian are derived from Latin language, but they did not appear (at least as something recognizable) for another eight centuries or so. In Maximo and Commodus time and set, they would speak Latin (the official Roman language) or ancient Greek (a common tongue, akin to today's English in the ancient world).
@@OnceUponaReaction During my High School years I was in marching Band and when I was in 10th grade our show was called The Rise and Fall of Rome. I had a drum solo at the closing of the show.
The Romantic languages as they are known were the result of Roman Latin being pronounced and understood by the local populations of the provinces. Spanish was known as "Iberian" after the Roman province of Iberia, Italian after the Italic people of the area, French after the Gaulish/Frankish people of the Roman province of Gaul, British after the Roman province of Brittania (Londinium).and so on. After the fall of Rome, the local versions of Latin developed into their own national languages. Did the people have local accents? Absolutely, but perhaps quite different from modern accents...so...Romans played by British actors like these have an English accent. And why not?
Spanish, Romanian, French and other Romance languages including Spanish do not exist yet. Rome spoke Latin. Spanish, Italian, etc. all came from Latin which is why they are called Romance languages, languages derived from the language of ancient Rome.
English also has its share of Latin or Latin transports. Latin was the single greatest written language in European history, used by the literate for hundreds of years after the fall of the Roman Empire as a way for the many nationalities to communicate and exchange ideas. It's the language used by science in the naming of everything from chemicals to animals, diseases and human anatomy. Not really a dead language at all.
I know this is going to age me but Gladiator came out exactly on my 21st birthday so part of my birthday celebration was to watch it in the theater followed obviously by many of my first legal drinks.
My wife and I watched this in the theater. I can't believe it's been 24 years. Still, an epic movie. There's no way the sequel will measure up to it. Judging by the trailers, it looks too over the top and ther are some huge inaccuracies in it. Anyway, great reaction Vanessa. Another good movie set during Roman times is 'The Eagle" starring Channing Tatum.
15:52 ...The kid's name is Giorgio Cantarini, italian actor best known for his role in "La vita e bella" (Life is beautiful) which is highly recommended if you never watched...
At the inaugural games for the Flavian Amphitheater (i.e. the Roman Colosseum), part of the scheduled entertainment was supposed to animals devouring live condemned prisoners, but the huge cheering crowd frightened the animals so much that they wouldn't come out into the arena, so to placate the disappointed audience, the animal handler was brought out into the arena and publicly executed.
All reaction channels just seem to be reacting to the same movie everyone else is. I wasn't even going to watch this again for the 6th time in as many days, but your reactions are always so great!!! 👍 I had to watch again 😊 your reaction to Queer Giraffes 😂😂😂😂
The Roman historian Tacitus is said to have observed: "To ravage, to slaughter, to steal, this they give the false name of empire; and where they create a desert, they call it peace."
15:52 He calls the soldiers 'soldati', which s Italian (the Italian language didn’t exist yet), but he should have called them 'milite', which is Latin.
Vanessa, "Gladiator" was heavily influenced by the classic epics... "Spartacus" and "Fall of the Roman Empire." At least you should definitely see Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus." It's full of old school Hollywood icons.
The bull fights are probably the closest thing left to the gladiatorial games, but really all sporting events and theater are callbacks to the purpose of the colosseum, to distract the people "bread and circuses".
They aren't doing accents because if they were being true to the time, everybody would be speaking Latin, not modern-day Italian. THEN who would understand the film? So it HAS to be a Hollywood thing...
Sé que no viene a cuento, y tampoco es que yo vaya video por video diciendo estas cosas, pero estás guapísima... (Cuando hay que decir las cosas como son, se dicen y punto)

Back then everyone spoke Latin, today Romania and Italy are the closest countries that still speak it.
Romania comes third , Spanish is second to ancient Latin first is Italian .
Worked construction all my life the Italians at my job can communicate with Hispanic very well .
Don't be too concerned about the War Dog, he's powerful and ferocious and smart. He's not going down quick.
They’re supposed to speak Latin. Italian didn’t exist then.
Great reaction, dear. Now you know why my wife has THE crush for Russel Crowe
It makes total sense now
the scene with his dead family that keeps killing me

The bull fights are probably the closest thing left to the gladiatorial games, but really all sporting events and theater are callbacks to the purpose of the colosseum, to distract the people "bread and circuses".

They were in central Europe in the beginning. Zuccabar is what's located in North Africa.
