@@frankromahn693 I am sorry for your loss. We can remember and honor the ones we lost and live a good life; so perhaps someday when our time comes, someone will remember and honor us.
Frank! Take Jesus Christ deep into your heart so I did it almost twenty years ago. Just read John 14:6 'n believe in it so then u 'r totally free 'n going to Heaven indeed because He's the only Way in there amen. God Bless:D P.s. He's the only Hope in this lost world at the end of the times. Hallelujah! Maranatha!
To whomever reads this comment, may your heart be filled with love and may your God fill your life with blessings. If you are hurting from a loss then keep strong and keep going, you are a warrior
If you are struggling today remember this: You have survived everything you've gone through up to this point. The best day of your life is still yet to come. There are still people you haven't met, and things you haven't experienced. You can do this.💓💪☮️
The Elysium section was received as sad or mournful, but it has a double meaning of tranquility, serenity, accepting. Accepting of ones death and the entrance into Elysium and finding peace at last. Truly uplifting.
This is the most heartbreaking comment section I've ever seen. The world is so full of loss and pain, we don't realise how people are so broken inside. To all of you and to all of everyone else: we are in this together. I am with you, and I will always be. Cherish your memories, let go of your regrets, forget your grudges, forgive your enemies, because this is a small world and this is a small life. May happiness be with your every breath. Have a good day.
I lost my beautiful daughter in December 2019 - just a few hours after her birth. This song reminds me that I will see her again someday. But not yet. Not yet.
Lost my Dad last month. Was beside him till the end. The night before he passed away, he woke up and asked if I was there. Asked me if I'd stay with him. I told him I wasn't going anywhere, there was nowhere else I'd rather be. He told me "thankyou". Never understood why he had to thank me. It was me who should have thanked him Rest easy, Dad. See you soon.
Thanking is nice, appreciating each other.. and not every child would stay or could stay like that.. I was with my Mum til the end too, and very grateful I could be. Blessings to you & your Dad, and all those who have passed and those 'still here'..
I lost my Dad on Father’s Day. I took care of him his last 2 weeks. He was there for my first breath and as my hand was on him, I saw him take his last. He was my best friend. We talked all time and constantly watched movies together. Gladiator was one of our many favorites. My pain is unbearable most days. My only comfort is we will meet again and I know he’s going to welcome me with his big smile and open arms saying, “Hey, Baby!”. Miss you, Daddy.
Pushpinder Behall 🥺 Thank you. I hope so. I’ve always wanted to make him proud. He was always so supportive of my career when others weren’t. He had Proud Army Dad stickers all over his car and home. 😍
Hi Yashica - hope you're well ...buddhism views death as a beginning and not as an end and life being an eternal cycle of birth and death - I don't think RU-vid allows private chat anymore but if you'd like I could email you what I've been reading - it's from an incredible book called "Unlocking the mysteries of birth and death" by Dr Daisaku Ikeda
Tears come to my eye but not because I’ve lost somebody. I’ve been lucky to have never lost a family member yet. I cry because of the deeper meaning behind these songs.
My best friend was a built to be a gladiator.. body builder at the age of 20 sadly died in a motorcycle accident at age 22. Much too young. Love you forever brother. Legends never die
I lost my sweet beautiful mother, and this was one of our favorite movies together to watch when I was younger. 20 years to short with her but so thankful for every single one of them. Until I see you again my angel.
No other song ever composed fills you with love, life, spirit and so much joy of pure freedom that your soul cries out suspending you in eternal glory of peace....when I die..."THIS" will be my exit song
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with cancer. It was only a year ago when my heart had stopped and I needed a pacemaker. I've only just turned 31. I've given instructions for my husband to play this at my funeral should I pass. I believe it will bring my children hope. Send me away into the afterlife on the waves of beautiful music.
God has miracle just believe this bit mate. All my prayers from India to you. Yes we believe everything is possible even if the world says no. If u can travel come and meet the best belief n i have faith u will be happy :)
@@justin-ti4nq unfortunately, 23 years of church and personal experiences has turned me from that path. I have no ill feelings toward people of any religion but I spent my whole life doing and saying things that didn't feel right in my heart and walked the straight and narrow for my lord and then was clinically dead for nearly 6 minutes. I felt myself slipping away and I remember the moments before. I started to feel a weird sensation come over my whole body, like I was going numb. I felt heavy and it felt hard to breathe. It wasn't a bad feeling, if anything it felt like I'd finally be at peace. I remember hearing my husband telling me to hold on only it sounded like he was far away eventhough he was right next to me. I just felt so numb and then it was like falling to sleep. Everything was black. No like when you close your eyes but like if you were dipped into a pool of black oil. The only thing I remember was pain. Extreme pain throughout my entire body (I was told this was due to them needing to shock me back to life. All in all the whole thing lasted about 10 minutes before I was somewhat responsive again. This made me rethink the whole religion thing. Lol I'm sorry, I didn't need to share any of this.
12 yrs ago my younger sister fought like a gladiator and lost her life at age 30 to cancer. May she walk in the fields of Elysium. And may all others that have experienced grief and loss in their life know that that are loved and are not alone.
Everyone here has the same heart. Fighting the same fight i think. We hear the same, hope for the same things. But it seems nobody hears it but us. That's what everybody has in common on this thread. LOVE you all. KEEP FIGHTING!!
I lost my wife 4 months ago while she was giving birth to my daughter. I then lost my daughter a week later. This song reminds me, that I will see them again. But not yet. Not yet.
My sister battled cancer and fought hard at the age of 36 and my brother fought for his life until the age 49. You are heroes. I know you watch from the heavens.
Camping in the middle of the desert at 2am with just a bon fire, gazing the stars and listening to this.. its so calm and serene.. I'am in a different world now... wow..
I agree, this song always has me tearing, in my sense I just always imagine how I get up every morning to go to work to take care of my family and coming home to them. I feel this song brings out the true love you have in your heart
My sweet 6 year old niece, Faith, was killed in 2006 after been ran over by a bus. This music helps keeps her memories alive within me. I will never forget her beauty and innocence. Love you forever, kiddo.
I lost my dad in 2001. He was my hero,he was Gladiator! 1 year fighting with cancer! Now he is free and defending me from the sky!Love and miss you dad !
I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad sure was a good man, he sure is taking care of you from the sky, like a bright light. If you look for it he will always answer you and will be taking care of you forever. A big hug from Argentina
My mum just passed away yesterday, we used to bawl crying watching this movie together , the music is so special to us were going to play it at her funeral , she was only 41, and being the oldest of six of us I don't know how we're gonna do it without her , RIP mam.
Thomas, I feel very sorry that you lost your mom. But do you know that there will be a chance in future that you will see your mother again here on earth? God is promising this to you in the bible. Just think about the situation where a resurrection took place here on earth by jesus the son of god, when he resurrected lazarus. John 11:43,44 ....after these words Jesus called out loudly ,, Lazarus come out, the man who was just dead came out. Or think of the most famous resurrection, that took place happened by jesus himself, where after 3 days jesus got resurrected from god. Matthew 28: 1-20 tells of the fact that jesus was raised. the bible also reports on other events where resurrections took place, such as those of the prophets like Elijah and Elisha who raised the dead. And there will also be a resurrection in the near future, because god has promised it to us all. Revelation 21:4says ....and he will wipe out every tear from your eyes, and there will be no more death. what used to be is over. John 5:28,29 says ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear gods voice and will come out. the bible gives information about what god plans with the earth, namely a paradise and how this will affect people, so that we all will get the possibility to see our loved ones again. The bible also reports on how peacefully and happily people will live together on earth in the future, where there will be no more illnesses or death.Isaiah 65:20 no more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days, nor an old man who fails to live out his days.Isaiah 65:21 they will build houses and live in them, and they willl plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. Verse 25: the wolf and the lamb will feed together, the lion will eat straw just like the bull, they will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain.This is a discription of how the life will gonna be in future here on earth. These words in the bible were written down for us, so that we could develop faith and to get hope because god want's us to live in the very near future a happy life where we can welcome our lost ones. Thomas you will get the possibility to see you mother again here on earth because god is promising this. I hope so much that maybe with this words I can give you hope. And I would like to recommend you jw.org. I send you all my best wishes Michel www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODBibleTeachings/docid-502017858_1_VIDEO
I lost my mother and my father in a car accident when i was 7 years old. Now im 33 and i have 2 sons. They are the joy of my life. And every time i hear this music i think about my dad and mom and it melts my heart. No one deserves to live without his parents.
My father was a good man. Even when he walked, he tryed to avoid to step on the ants. I lost him few months ago. Since that day I cryed almost daily. I understood very late who was my father. From now on I will cry to the end of my time. Forgive me father, please forgive me...
I know your feelings, Me and my dad were arguing every day, 3 months ago his heart stopped while sleeping... now I will pay EVERYTHING I have, everything I can give to see him or hear his voice one more time... you don’t know what you have until you lose it....
My dear friend passed away last week. This music reminded of the time we spent time together playing games online, playing chess online, discussing about football, college, graphics card and girls. I could never have imagined that I have see my friend pass away at 22 years of age. Nonetheless, I hope he is in peace. Thank you for all the memories, will always keep you in mind. Love you!
This song has the saddest comment section I have ever seen in entire my life. Man, so many people have lost so many good souls. I pray for them from the bottom of my heart. Amen
What is it they say about death and taxes? We have but a little time on this planet to make an impact on humanity. Are we going to solve some problems and love some people or are we going to think we are number one and we are all that matters. Whatever benevolent forces exist in the world, we can choose to be a part of it and do what is essential for the betterment of the earth we inhabit. I can only hope my legacy is one that embraces the best of mankind and honors God. I hope He forgives my mistakes and puts my heart at peace now and at the hour of my death. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." So much wisdom to be learned and taught. This from "The Little Prince."
Completely agree. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for the folks commenting about their loss. This music expresses that loss as well as anything.
This is the day I reach out and leave a comment - never done it before. For today I want to recover from my pain, and the courage I see on this wall touches deep in my heart. I lost my dear mother to cancer in February, two soulmates to miscommunication, while my sister is moving away to another country and my dear niece is away touring the world. All people so close to my soul and heart - gone or away. Feeling the loss and feeling alone. Thank you all and thank our beautiful humanity - a true haven of grace when we open our eyes and heart.
My dad passed away 2 years ago. We sadly didn’t have the best relationship. But I remember as a kid when I was 10 this movie came out and it’s was his favourite. When we were kids crossing the road he would shout “hold the line! Stay with me!” It was so embarrassing as a kid but I look back and laugh at it. But whenever I hear gladiator I can’t help but get choked up. You can’t not cry watching gladiator. One of the greatest films of all time. Strength and honour to you all ❤️
My dad is a gladiator to he was fighting in cancer 6years, but he cant win.He is my hero, and miss me every single day. But we meet again one day in the afterlife.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband had a glioblastoma. He died in 2012. He bought "Gladiator" before we even watched on Netflix. He knew it would be great.
19 years later and this is STILL my favorite movie and soundtrack, I was stationed in Germany back in 2000 and I went to see this movie at the post theater and by the end I was nearly in tears and I admit this movie was a life changing experience for me...when the soundtrack came out later I bought it and then went out to visit and walk around the Roman ruins in Germany while listening to this music on my headphones...another great experience........two movies, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Gladiator" have left in me a lifelong interest in archeology and ancient history that still lives on today.

Many bring up loved ones that they honor here, and it's truly inspiring! This brings out the best in humanity. Not just in the responses, but in the emotions it stirs. Treat all as you wish to be treated, and live each day as if it's your last. Then when our time comes, we will be free.
Just lost my uncle the day after Christmas. I hope he’s free from his suffering wherever he is. I urge anyone reading this to check on their happy friends or family members, you never know the world of pain that may be hiding behind that smile. RIP Pablo, we love you and miss you.
Thank you so much to Hans Zimmer, who gave us this masterpiece that evokes both the pain of losing a loved one and the joy of being reunited with our loved ones who have gone before , to wait for us in the elysian fields!
The loss is always there & will never go away, only to a lesser degree. As a combat Vietnam Vet, I've learned in time to honor my brothers that did not come home by living a full life to the best of my ability. That's what they would have wanted. Sad, but life is fleeting & last but a moment in time. Remember all the precious times together, you will see her again, but not yet.
I am only twelve and about 3 years before on 12 october I lost my grandpa to cancer and every time I listen to this I remember him and always cherish the few moments we got to bond together .Rest in peace. I hope your name is never forgotten by your loved ones Dylber Vasha
This song brings so many memories. I was sent to an orphanage at 6, spent a greater portion of my life there. I saw my mum at 15 and that was the last time I saw her. She passed away in 2014 and I never had the chance to say goodbye. I have a daughter now and I named her after my mum. May Her soul Rest in Peace.
We have the same names,i was in orphanage too..i was abandoned but a lovely couple adopted me when i was 1.When i listen to this song i remember who ever from this family game me love and they are not alive anymore and i cry because i miss them but i know that they are in peace.
Reading the comments below it fascinates me how a movie can evoke so many emotions in millions of people around the world, a true work of art, if movies were translated as art than Gladiator is the mona lisa of the film world
Bless you JW for sharing such a heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking loss. As a father, I am weeping while I write. I cannot begin to imagine you pain. Your bravery in posting such a personal tragedy is inspirational, for me at least. I will, henceforth, use your example to try and be a better person; lest I forget that we no not what gifts we have until they are gone. Peace and deepest respect, sir . . .
Listening to this 2 months after the love of my life was cruelly taken from me in a motorcycle accident. We had not seen each other in over 2 years and he was coming to see me from across the country. I’d give anything in this world to see him again even if it was for only 5 minutes so I could tell him I loved him and kiss him one last time.
I lost my dad in 2007 than in 2011 i lost my mother. I miss my parents so much. Wish i could go back in time and tell how much i miss you . I love you i love you i love you.. thankyou for everything ,
My momma died last year in August, a few days before her 69th birthday, right before I was going to visit her without visiting her in months (I was transitioning in my life, still kind of am). This was one of her favorite movies and I didn't realize how healing this song can be and well, here's to you momma, I love you always and forever. I know you're looking or for me momma, thank you. We will meet again but not yet, not yet.
All we are emperors of our destiny. The only slavery I do accept is Love. Love set us free. This can be seen as a paradigma, but a life without love isn't worth while living. Love with all your will.
This song brings me so close to my precious step Son Ryan who I lost 12 years ago, oh how I just miss him so, so much memories of him well never go away from me I well always love you Ryan.
Man, Ilan played the remixed version by Elysium and couldn't avoid crying, it made me see my whole life in seconds and motivate me to be better in every aspect of life.
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
You bring sorrow in my soul brother but we have to keep our Faith and Hope in Christ we will see everyone in the Redemption when Jesus Christ raises everyone. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Just an incredibly beautiful song. I don't want to see my dad soon but know that I will. I have severe heart failure.. 50% of people with my condition live on past 5 years.. I would rather go and see my dad without his vascular dementia. 😮❤❤
This is almost a religious experience to me, it's very deep and personal, to the point it puts tears in my eyes instantly no matter when or where I hear it. It reminds me of how short our lives and the lives of our most loved ones are, thus making me a better person. Go hug your loved ones, they are all that matters.
Mothercat is my wife, she died 4 years ago, I keep her RU-vid subscription so I can see her favorite videos and listen to her songs. I miss her, her pain is gone, I’ll see you again.
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
…"When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." Tecumseh
I am grateful for the outpouring of deep emotions I've read here. When I see that final scene or hear this, I think of our dear son who served honorably in our military but took his life 4 years ago. I think of him going to see those who have gone ahead of him. Be at peace JD and all of those who are mentioned here as well as us who must square our shoulders and carry on. God bless.
0:00-5:48 I’m in the military far away from my home & my family. The Corona Virus has created such a havoc in our schedule changing everything by hindering us to have leave. I close my eyes to this music playing in my head whenever I’m dealt with hardship & picture home at the same time of memoirs in my mind picking vegetables along with contempt & an unexplained sadness of welcome that uplifts my soul to continue & push through with what I must do in hopes that one day I can feel that calming breeze I can only remember now about home whilst walking into my house as I open my door with welcoming arms around me & my dogs charging at me that I always picture it in my head.
The first song I heard when after I buried my father .In memory of Eduardo Fernandes Da Silva .April 26th 1929 - July 2nd 2005.I miss you dad you are my hero.
My dear mom passed away 2/6/19 RIP mom. I know she will always be near me. She joined my dad and they are both looking over me. And we will meet again one day. Love and peace to everyone who have lost a loved one.
Papa I miss you. I can't share the pain of my heart to mummy and my elder brother and younger sister, bcz I know it will break their heart too. I cannot look weak . I miss you papa. I wish I could swap my life and bring you back from heaven. I will remember your sacrifices and keep your legacy alive.
Ten years ago, I lost my only daughter to cervical cancer. It broke my heart into a thousand pieces. This music gives me strength and peace together. It's just beautiful.
I am with you My fiance is in the last stages of Metastatic breast cancer,and I stumbled upon this song while getting ready for work. Just like the Gladiators of old she is fighting for her life. Peace to you,and everyone in this forum.
