"Are you not entertained?" Fun Fact: After Maximus shouts that line in the Zucchabar scene, you can see a crew member in jeans and a white t-shirt in the stands on the extreme left. Bonus Fact: Maximus' description of his home (specifically, how the kitchen is arranged and smells in the morning and at night) was ad-libbed. It's a description of Russell Crowe's own home in Australia. Bonus Fact: Joaquin Phoenix ad-libbed his "Am I not merciful?" scream. Connie Nielsen wasn't expecting it, and her frightened reaction was genuine. Heartbreaking Fact: Oliver Reed died three weeks before principal photography ended. Because Proximo was considered a key character, a clause in the movie's insurance contract would have allowed the filmmakers to re-shoot all of Reed's scenes with another actor at the insurer's expense, about $25 million. However, most of the actors and crew were exhausted from the punishing schedule, and Ridley Scott did not want to cut Reed from the movie. The script was rewritten, and a body double and CGI were used to give Reed's character a plausible resolution.

Fun Fact: Russell Crowe (Maximus) played Jor-El (Superman's dad) Connie Nielsen (Lucilla) played Queen Hippolyta (Wonder Woman's mom) and Joaquin Phoenix (Commodus) played The Joker. So in a certain point of view, this movie shows Superman's dad saving Wonder Woman's mom from The Joker.

Not perfect but well aware of his weaknesses and trying to be a better man. My most belowed Emperor for sure. Also it is cool to read Meditations. Just think about it. personal thoughts and fears and moral insecurities of the most powerful man on Earth during his time almost 2 thousands years ago. He sure was not drunk by power as most of the rulers use to be.

@@EOMReacts The director’s cut really makes all the difference. It’s about 40 minutes longer (2.5 hours vs 3 and some change), but it might be the biggest difference in quality between a theatrical & extended cut of any movie. The theatrical is a solid medieval action movie, but the extended really makes everything work much better and turns it into an all time classic

A digital body double was created for the remaining scenes involving actor Oliver Reed's character Proximo (the old gladiator) due to Reed's death during production. Reed died from a heart attack during a break from filming Gladiator in Valletta, Malta, on the afternoon of 2 May 1999. According to witnesses, he drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac, in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub. His bar bill totaled a little over 270 Maltese lira (almost 450 GBP; about 590 USD). After beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling, Reed suddenly collapsed, dying while en route to hospital in an ambulance. He was 61 years old

I was fortunate enough to stay in Rome once. Had an Airbnb about a quarter mile away from the colosseum. I woke up early and live-streamed the sunrise. I was on the same road as the colosseum. It’s one of those things I’ll never forget. It was fascinating walking through the same locations as I’ve read about in history. Florence, Italy is seriously one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. When you watch Braveheart (eventually). Much was filmed in Ireland (which is beautiful) but I’d based in the highlands of Scotland. I got to spend time in the Isle of Skye. Was the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

Caesar Marcus Aurelius (the gathering the beginning) was the last of "The Five Good Emperors" and is also considered the first of the stoic philosophers. His death lead to the end of the Pax Romana a time of relative peace and great prosperity of the Roman empire. Two of his most famous quotes are "waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one" "You have power over your mind- not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Both are exemplified in this movie

Great reaction! I love this movie. It began my great admiration for Russell Crowe as an actor. This was when he was simply incapable of making a bad movie. In fact, he was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar three years in a row (a very rare thing) for The Insider (1999), Gladiator (2000), which he won, and A Beautiful Mind (2001). When he’s good, he’s great. Other notable Russell Crowe movies are L.A. Confidential, Cinderella Man, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, and 3:10 To Yuma (2007’s remake). All of them are great films.

Man, watching you tear up at the end there, I started tearing up. You are a beautiful beautiful man, J! A testament to just HOW good Hans Zimmer is, is when he was doing the soundtrack, at some point he said "this needs some Lisa Gerrard", and honestly, it is one of those tracks that can really make you tear up. I always keep this handy on my playlist, here used as the end-credits: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZiKnKyBqtXWgGQ.html

41:52 Lmfao poor guy, look at the pupper picking up the somber mood in the room. That's why they're man's best friend. He probably doesn't know exactly what happened but he knows something sad happened 😭. The first time I saw Gladiator was like a year or two after it came out on DVD. My dad had seen it in theatres and talked about it from theatre release to the DVD release 🤣. It was the first film he saw after coming home from deployment and it stuck with him. It's now one of my favorites.

Great reaction! I saw Gladiator twice in the theaters, and I NEVER WATCH MOVIES MORE THAN ONCE IN THE THEATER. I just remember getting so emotionally choked up by the ending that I needed to see it again and couldn't wait for the video release. You were right about not expecting to be a sad movie at the end. And ironically enough, there's rumors and speculation that there will be a Gladiator sequel being released sometime in the future.

Loved your reaction. You also crack me up! I saw this movie with my brother when it came out in the theatre. Afterwards I went to my brothers apartment to see his aquarium that had a new Oscar. He had a dozen feeder fish and we put 6 of them in the tank for the new fish. It went to town and ate five of the fish quickly, but there was one that it couldn't catch. It was banging into the Oscar as it kept getting away. Normally, these fish dont last long, but this one would not be caught. After a time, we decided to save this special fish and named it Maximus. We put it in another tank with the other 6 fish and let Maximus live out his days with his "men" as a tribute and alternate ending to the other Maximus. We still talk about Maximus to this day! LOL

also i kinda wish they brought back gladiator's back but for criminals who are murders and have been 100% proven to have killed someone or multiple people and they have a death sentence so instead of putting them down like a dog we put them up against other cold blooded murders and which ever survives will live to fight another day plus most will end up dying eventually so justice will be served and we could get some entertainment from it
