FIRST TIME WATCHING: Gladiator *Extended Version* (2000) REACTION (Movie Commentary) 

Yes my favorite part

missing „…in this life or another“ which makes the threat absolute.

is that all? (lol) :D though seriously, most characters suffer this same fate, and often a lot worse... it's really not that much suffering for a character, though the delivery of it was indeed good... lol

Fun fact; Russell Crowe really hated that line, he thought it was cheesy asf but he made it work.

I caught that too.It was perfect. lol

Lol I was saying it in reference to Proximo telling him to be an entertainer

they also used leeches, if for example a finger got squeezed and blood is no longer flowing to the finger, attaching leeches to the end of the finger provides a chance that they might draw blood to the finger tip again

Try to tell me that Necrotic Fun Facts isn't the *best* band name. David Byrne + Danny Elfman, I'd guess...who's gonna drum?

Fun Fact Number Two: Romans would put shaved lead on their food for the sweet taste....didn't work out in the long run.... Number Three: They would wash their clothes in human urine.... I could keep going...love this time period....Peace!.

@@Misitheus correction. aged human urine. the ammonia helped kill germs

The dude simultaneously looked 61 years old and 600 years old.

Actually that's not accurate the first athletes were the greeks, they created the Olympic Games.

@@traderbychoice7560 "professional athletes" vs "athletes" might be the distinction referenced.

@@mudageki Ancient Greek Olympians were paid by their home cities for bringing crowns (victories) back home. The world's first professional athletes. :)

Not sure the extended edition is the best cut

@@orangewarm1 Ridley had tons of footage on the original set. The extended version is his cut. He wanted it for theatrical release.

@@k.delpino1124 Doesn't matter what he wanted, the theatrical cut is better paced.

Right on. I saw it in theaters.It's my sister's favorite movie.

It was what today's folks would think of as IMAX. They showed it in 70MM in fee theaters. Amazing 👏

He’s listed as 6’6” and 251lbs…..yeah he’s a big boy. He also played the lead villain in Best of the Best 2.

😂😂😂😂😂

To clarify what chrisleebowers wrote here, it was not Julius Caesar who, "declared it an Empire". Julius Caesar was behaving like an emperor in some ways, but he was murdered by a conspiring confederation of senators in 44 BC so that he would NOT make such a declaration. His murder fractured the republic in two, and war raged for nearly two decades, when Julius' adopted son (and blood great-nephew) Octavius led his side to victory in 27 BC, pronouncing himself the first emperor of Rome, under the name, Augustus Caesar. He ruled the Roman Empire until his death in 14 AD. Which means he was Emperor when Jesus lived--but probably knew nothing of the Nazarene as the problems Jesus was causing for the Romans were provincial, in Roman-protected, Judea, and didn't get past the ears of the roman governor of that land, Pontius Pilate. And then we had the Middle Ages. Followed by the American revolution. Then the Cuban Missile crisis. Followed by rap taking over MTV. The rise and fall of Lindsay Lohan. And here we are today.

@@Cosmo-Kramer Thank you, I meant to say "The Caesars" The HBO show is as much about Octavian as it is about Julius.

@@chrisleebowers I accept your apology. Great series, Rome.

@@Cosmo-Kramer Well, wasn’t that just slick af 😎

@@O___________0 Ya know, sometimes I amaze even myself.

Haha I really did !

Marcus was a real one

And Commodus is immortalized compared to the commode. Shitty in life, shitty in memory.

@@keeganbate8935 Commodus was real, too. And he was, in fact, Emperor Marcus Aurelius' son. But that's where the history of their characters ends and the fiction begins. Commodus peacefully succeeded his father as Emperor, but there was no such single person as Maximus Decimus Meridius. Although his character may've been a composite of multiple historical characters. Sure, I'd love it if the story in the film was historical fact, but I don't care, because the movie is so effing badass I love it regardless!

@@oduinn7948 lol

There were five good emperors; although the first of them was more of a placeholder due to his advanced age. Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antonious Pius, and Marcus Aurelius.

_sword_ and sandals

👀👀👀

@@CapedInformer 😂 great minds think alike

I didn’t say I knew him, I said he touched my shoulder ONCE! 😂

He implies the price for friends comes with a discount

@@chaosdimension6433 I also interpreted it as an additional 5000 over his original offer, for an old friend. Either way works.

"Cannot read property 'data' of undefined": no idea what that means, some youtube bs i suppose

😂

Fire!
