Gladiator (2000) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction 

26:16 I love the fact that Maximus' vision of the afterlife is the road leading downhill through the fields toward his farm, with his wife and son safe, both waiting for him to come home. Beautifully poetic.

This movie is engrained in my soul. When I was in my early 20’s and got my first apartment I didn’t have cable and I had this on DVD. I literally watched it everyday for a year. Gladiator is everything to me ❤❤❤

It is such a beautiful and poetic ending. I melt every single time watching it, despite knowing what's going to happen. The casting, the acting, and the soundtrack, makes this film a compelling watch every single time. My favourite film is possibly the Thin Red Line, a war epic that is also thoughtful, philosophical and poetic. If you're in need of a laugh, then Planes, Trains and Automobiles is excellent, as well as being heartfelt.

Everything about this movie was incredible. All of the acting was top tier, all of the music was top tier. The visuals were top tier. Everything was top tier. Commodus, as much as you hated him during the movie, you can't deny how incredible he was as an actor. He nailed the role. Russell Crowe nailed it. All the actors nailed it. And the story is simply amazing. This movie was astounding, and it always remains as one of my top, most favorite movies.

"who will help me carry him?" kills me every time. Bawling.

Such a powerful movie!

Gladiator II should have been the story of Juba's journey home.

Great reaction to one of my favorite films. This was back when Russell Crowe made one amazing movie after another - L.A. Confidential, Master and Commander, Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind…. I could keep going. All of them worth watching! And I see you’re watching Game of Thrones. Now I have to subscribe!

I found out the wounds you see on maximus face are real. His horse backed into some branches. If you look close, you can see the stitches on his cheek.

"Are you not entertained?" Fun Fact: This movie was shot in chronological order over eighteen weeks. What Script Fact: Joaquin Phoenix ad-libbed his "Am I not merciful?" scream. Connie Nielsen wasn't expecting it and her frightened reaction was genuine. The Man Behind The Curtain Fact: After Maximus (Russell Crowe) shouts the "entertain" line in Zucchabar, you can see a crew member in jeans and a white t-shirt in the stands on the extreme left. Home Sweet Home 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. 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.

Think I recommended this movie, glad you liked it, my second favourite

XD Lipps tripping head over heels for Maximus when he's fighting, calm down gurl he's a married man!

_New sub+1!_ i recommend you 🔥 *300* (2006) 🔥 _starring Gerard Butler & Lena Headey_ Directed by *Zack Snyder*

Another great reaction Lipps. Yeah, top of the game acting , Crowe, Phoenix . 👏👏😊🥰

Troy

I am entertained!

Master & Commander is another amazing Russell Crowe Movie!!!!

2nd reaction video of your's I've watched. Greatly enjoyed both.

Marcus, to his second in command, "How long has he been gone". Second in command "About two hours". Somehow I don't think they had a concept of time in those measurements during that era.

if you are looking for a well done war movie. "we were soldiers" is possibly the best in my opinion. i will not go into why as to not spoil anything.

My girlfriend at the time hated this movie, I went through a phase of being obsessed with Roman stuff. Because, as you know, men think about Romans a lot for some weird reason.

The best movie ever

Fabulous film, top-notch acting!! Great reaction, thanks for sharing this one. 👏👏👏

Great reaction like always. Love this movie! At the very start of the movie Maximus overrides an order from Quintus to move their artillery back. He says the danger to their cavalry is "acceptable." This might give you the idea that Maximus is a callous commander who uses his men as pawns. He immediately turns this on its head by going off to his secret side army to lead the cavalry charge himself. He wouldn't order his men to take a risk he wouldn't take himself. That is a beautifully subtle bit of character writing to clue the audience in to what kind of man and leader the main character is. The scene where Russell Crowe's describing his home, he's actually describing a place near where he lives in real life, that's why you can see so much emotion. Brilliant! And there are some others fun-facts, the scene in which Commodus yells "Am I not merciful?" right in his sister's face was improv at that point. Joaquin Phoenix was just scripted to say it the one time. He ad-libbed the repeat of the line as a menacing yell right in her face and that is real shock on Connie Nielsen's face. I´m curious if you'd pick up on one of the melodies and structure of that battle music in Gladiator was also used in a piece for Pirates since I guess Zimmer just really liked that melody and figured it fit both epic battle and epic daredevil stuns and escapes pretty well. Good memory on the ears! This movie I'd say based upon real events. Maximus' character is fictional but Commodus was real, he was the son of Marcus Aurelius and did play at being a gladiator whilst Emperor (once killed 100 lions in the arena) but that's about as far as the reality goes I believe. Keep up the good work.

I like when someone does their reactions in 30 minutes I hate when it's over 1 hr

American Made, is a crazy true story and Tom Cruise was great in it. He actually flew the planes too.

One of the top 5 or 10 best movies. Thank you for a great reaction. I SWEAR I never laughed once when you were feeling feisty and ready for action at the start. My only thought was "My sweet summer child, this action will not be feisty". Well done, great reaction. 🥰

i recommend for you : V for Vendetta (2005) 😍 Dances with Wolves (1990) 😍 Independence Day (1996) 😍 True Romance (1993) 😍 Braveheart (1995) 😍 Interview with the Vampire (1994) 😍 Interstellar (2014) 😍 A Time to Kill (1996) 😍 Stargate (1994) 😍 Red Dawn (1984) 😍 Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves (1991)

Why go after the family? I wager that prevailing view at the time was to ensure that there was nobody left to seek revenge.

great reaction. I would love for you to react to "Hacksaw Ridge" I know it will be one of your new favorites, Thank you

Great reaction to Wonderful movie..

Welcome to the club! Now you know why men think about the Roman Empire every week 😂
