It's not so much the acting, more the deeds the authors and director imagine a villain to commit. Murdering the family of the protagonist or raping his love interest, for example is a common plot device to make the villain extremely dispisable and thus the hero even more tragic and loveable.

@88Cdizzle 2 года назад

A great detail I noticed - at the start of the fight, Maximus obviously has his left arm pinned to his side where he got stabbed and it really limits his movement. When Maximus overpowers him and Commodus loses his sword, Maximus stops favouring that side and just goes all out. He knows he's bleeding out, but this is the opportunity he cannot miss.

My parents migrated here from Mexico and I remember my dad always wanting to buy the modern and best things while I was growing up. He purchased a 200 cd changer surround system and huge screen tv with wooden frame that probably weighed about 400 pounds and we would play this movie in the living room and hear the crowd roar on the speakers as the gladiators fought and it was the best! Being able to hear the sand being thrown, swords hitting each other and the crowd cheer on those speakers was amazing. My dad is now 67 years old and this is still his favorite movie.

He went from flailing at Maximus in desperation and denial to clinging to him in disbelief, as he realized Maximus was the last human he’d be connected with in any way, ever again. As a kid we nicknamed Commodus “the puke” because of his behavior but as an adult we see he’s actually a victim of pride who never “measured up” and it turned him into something pitiful - only validating his insecurities. The knife in his throat by his “own hand” is a symbol of how he killed himself trying to prove it all wrong. You can see in his eyes by the time he realized how far it had all gone, the knife was already in his throat and he knew it was too late. This movie is a work of art.

@jamesmeyer1325 2 года назад

Maximus's was at the point of death, and was fighting even at that point for the justice he deserved after the Emporer had his wife and child killed. Maximus was everything the Emporer was not. Loved by his wife and child, his men would follow him to death's door and beyond, skilled in both war and politics, and a servant of the people. Hell, even the Emporer's sister and nephew loved Maximus over the Emporer. Hence the fight, hence the cheating and hence the stabbing to even the field.

@Maxtor In real life, Marcus Aurelius really did appoint Commmodus as his heir and therefore Emperor, a lot of the wretched things we think of Commodus' were written by men who hated him. Might be false, or the truth, may be a mix of both. We'll never know.

I hate to be that guy again (second time today) but Zimmer is a fraud who plagiarizes and steals from other composers. He runs a company, Remote Control Productions, in which he hires other composers to score his films (sometimes multiple per film) and then he takes all the credit under the "Hans Zimmer" label. This soundtrack was very likely to have been composed by additional composers. This specific track is great but it's ironically also plagiarizing Wagner's style and the part where the shields raise is taken heavily from Henryk Górecki´s Third Symphony

@keyser456 2 года назад

It wasn't just that first time either. Near the beginning of this clip Quintas tosses Maximus's sword in the dirt and makes him fetch it (probably instructed to do so). It's like during that very fight his loyalty was won back by Maximus. Had Commodus won the fight, Quintas (and probably all of the Praetorian present that sheathed their swords as ordered) would surely be executed for betraying the emperor.

In the Director's cut there is a scene that didn't make it into the movie. Commodus has two of the Praetorians executed for not informing him that Maximus was still alive.

Part of the beauty of this movie, and others that have similarly great fight scenes, is the amount of blocks. There’s a few older Asian movies that did this very well where there were 200+ blocks and only about 3 landed blows. It creates tension and anticipation by searching for the next landed blow, and gives a sense of actual danger for the protagonist. Being able to mow down enemy after enemy is only entertaining for so long.

Three things I noticed after more than a decade: 1. They clearly didn't understand how adrenaline can make you ignore pain. Maximum in-lore likely used it in combination with his rage to at least ignore the pain, even the slash wound he received. 2. Commodus was likely never injured before. Ever. Being slashed like that must have felt traumatizing, made him feel mortal for the first time. 3. Similar to #2, Commodus likely never "lost" a fight before. That means no one ever tried to fight him seriously, ever. This prevented him from learning basic CQC and wee the difference the moment they decide to throw hands.
