    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.

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.

    You guys killed it as usual. I never thought I'd laugh so much watching this movie! What's really crazy about the writing is that they basically made it up as they went along because the original screenplay pretty much got throne out. Some scenes were written on the same day as they were shot! The bts in the blu ray is a must watch, Ash

    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.

    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 Рік тому +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.

    At 20:07 the guy with the spikey hair is probably a Gaul, they would often style their hair into spikes with things like animal fat or tree sap when they went into battle, Gauls believed in reincarnation so he definitely didn't fear being instantly killed.

  • @darkhawk4863

    This, Alien, Blade Runner, The Martian... Ridley Scott knows how to shoot a damn movie. Atmosphere thick as soup, all of those films. And, yeah... Joaquin Phoenix in this film... you feel sorry for him while hating him, that's some strong acting there. RIP Sir Oliver Reed. And yeah, "I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." That's how you rent space in someone's head... forever. Short speech, but one of the best monologues.
    And it's always great watching Hannah figure out the beats of the movie to come before they happen. it's what makes a great ...reactor/react vid, really, when folks pay attention and clock stuff, not *just* reacting.

    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 Рік тому +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.

    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.

    He's a leader, thats why animals are confortable around him and why his men love him. his character is the perfect characterization and idealization of a chivalrous man, honorable, loves his men and his country, a family guy, who just want a simple life around those he love and the things he like doing, but being called to protect them, hes willing to do anything neccesary to do it. hes the perfect man or at least the perfect view of the classic man. his a figure to strive for and most of the time impossible to atain but like he do, who should never stop trying to achieve out goal.
