The Most Iconic Quotes | Gladiator (2000) | Screen Bites 

“Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back”.

"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."

People who disliked this video..I have a question for you: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?? IS THIS NOT WHY YOU'RE HERE????

"What we do in life, echoes in eternity".

Possibly the best movie. I dont think anything comes close to it. Gives me goosebumps everytime, a true master piece.

"You will meet them again, but not yet..." a Strong and Faithfull word.

This movie cannot be remade.

Can't beleive it's been 21 years since this movie released.

As I have been watching Gladiator, I can’t help but thirst for a Maximus Prequel. His rise from soldier of Rome, then becoming Its Greatest General. To then what Marcus Aurelius desired as a son. There is more than enough emotional mining that can be done. Younger versions could be casted, and the story could be told through Luscille. Similar to how Ptolemy Narrated Alexander’s Story.

“Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.” - Cicero, servant of Maximus.

Scrapes his Legion's tattoo off his arm "Are these the signs of your gods?" Nods "Won't they be angry with you?" Nods and grins

In an interview Russel Crowe revealed that the script they had for this move consisted of only 22 Pages, normally it has 120 pages and more. So after the 22 Pages were used up they planned the shootings from day to day looking through different ideas and agreed on the best or picked the best from each idea.. Some days they had to give the crew a day off because they didn’t know what to shoot next

Truly one of the best movies ever!! Even now, it holds up so well. Mr. Ridley Scott; thank you genius.

"The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who challenges the emperor himself. Striking story! Now the people want to know how the story ends ..."

To this day, my dad shakes my hand, looks me in the eye and says “Strength and honour”.

What a character, tremendous acting, marvelous direction and BG score is to die for. Brilliant.

"He'll bring them death, and they will love him for it."

You missed one of the top top quotes "the time for honoring your self will soon be at an end, highness"

Maximus A General who became a Slave A Slave who became a Gladiator.

„This is a man of Rome. Honor him! "

Molte sono le cose che rendono questo film "senza tempo". Non importa che sia perfetto. Importa che ci faccia emozionare. L'umanità di Massimo dentro il suo eroismo. Questo film è unico e speciale. Sempre. Grazie per il video!

AM I NOT MERCIFUL!!! Phoenix’s performance was a masterpiece!

I never get tired of watching Gladiator.

Why is Commodus' speech about busy little bees not in here? That was intense and so well done!

7:36 as a Father, Husband, and lifelong fighter, this is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history.

This movie was...IS a Classic. The Quality of Performers in this Movie is absolutely a Tour de force and a powerful exit for so many Great Actors. Yes Joaquin Phoenix did deserve an Oscar, but Rusty Crowe deserved the Oscar and the Movie WAS the Best Picture of the Year (Hell - Decade or MORE!!) Awesome Acting, Direction, Editing, Music,.... A Perfect Confluence of the Best of the Best.

I love this movie and watched several times

WHAT WE DO IN LIFE...ECHOES IN ETERNITY

Of all the Iconic Quotes on this movie, I settle with a subtle but a powerful one, and it came from the most unexpected actor: DEREK JACOBI, he uttered it to contradict a fellow Senator that is all praises to a stupid Caesar, "FOR ROME OR FOR YOU" and even the cam shot angle is positioned behind the actors, you could sense the Snicker Smile of Jacobi....A powerful question, one that can even be applied on every countries' election day.

my favorite quote is missing. Lucilla after the death of Maximus said: "Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him... "

..."Your faults as a son is my failure as a father"..

I knew a man who once said death smiles at us all, all you can do is smile back... Brilliant quote 👏

This is forever in my mind ever since 2000. I always listen to the score while working out. Awesome

What wonderful dialogue. What wonderful everything about that movie. Thanks to all involved in making such a great movie for everyone to live by.

These types of movies are a glimpse into the past. This one seemed particularly accurate

“Who will help me carry him?”

There are few movies with scenes like this. The scenes envelope and overwhelms you. Completely immersing you in its moment.

Death smiles at us, all we can do is smile back.

The greatest movie of all time. So great on so many levels!

'At my signal, unleash hell'

The Joker fights Jor-El while Queen Hippolyta watches.

We mortals are but shadows and dust. SHADOWS AND DUST! MAXIMUS!

The time for honouring yourself will soon be at an end..."Highness"

one of the BEST MOVIES!!! If Richard Crowe never does another movie he will be known to me for this one. I can watch this movie for 5 days a week & weekends. It was beautifully made everything about it with only one exception but that's for another discussion. Great movie

This movie is the best movie I have ever seen and I've said that since it came out. Masterpiece. The king of sandal and sword films.

*TIMELESS CLASSIC*

"I wonder how your friend died..." „You have to know. I'm talking about your father."

So much manliness...

Dumbledore before he picked up a wand.

INCREDIBLE ACTORS. Incredible !

what we do in life, echoes in eternity

"People should know when they're conquered."

im one of the kids at 3:06

AHHHHH THE HORDE "STRENGTH AND HONOR"

Husband. Of. A. Murdered. Wife. All the. Quotes are. Good. The. Whole. Film.

yeah I´m missing three scencs: the first apprearence of Maximus in his legion, the last speech of Lucilla after Maximus died and the very last one when Juba burried Maximus´ little holy figure in the sand of the area.

Yep. Time to watch this again👍🏽

I preferred the gladiator becomes an emperor; it’s so fantastic

Even though rome has fallen long ago, its culture survived through the ages: honor, faith, strenght, even death.

Strenght and Honor

Ridley Scott, genius

"people should know when they are conquered." would you quintus? would i? classic

An unique film which can never be remade

I love these pickups!!

The cinematography ,,those editing software at those year 2000 truly makes one live life from the Colosseum and witness live,,no matter this new camera can't bring the originality feeling and yet newer stories and writing are rubbish and fast moving rather than feeling the fim,,

"I will give them something they've never seen before".

A movie for the ages

7:22 “are we so different you and I” ummm wasn’t it you that got his family murdered and tried to get him killed too! This movie is making me feel more emotion that I’ve ever felt watching a movie/tv show!

Missed one of the best quotes: “OOooooOOOooOOOhhh” * twirls fingers in air *

Gladiators, I salute you

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions. Please leave a message after the tone, and I will get back to you in this life or the next.

All time great!

Best movie ever

This has be the greatest movie of all time ,

Greatest movie ever made 🎉🎉🎉 . What you do in life goes an eternity 😎😎😎

Me and my homies favorite line “would you quintus would I, strength and honor “

Perfect movie

Games 150 days of games, he more clever than I thought “

I was 11 when this movie came out in cinema. My generation (89') was raised under the idea that one day all boys will one day become men and for that we need guidance, conviction and other valuable traits from an early age. Such traits are beautifully displayed by Maximus. However, the reality we find ourselves today (2024) in, is unexpectedly different. The media has unfairly made us the enemy, the ones responsible for the decay of society through a so called "patriarchy" that is simply a social system established by the world since ancient history and because of that, we have been marginalized, outcasted and we are loosing our purpose in the process. The establishment has turned the women and other minorities against us, the very providers of the social fabric of civilization. Even some men today agree with the fact that we are supposed to be more "submissive" which is completely backwards to what we've been taught throughout our youth. If all of this is true, this could mean that we are the last batch of a dying breed of men. Am I the only one that thinks this way? Drop a like if I'm wrong...

Shadows & Dust Maximus!

This is a great movie .

Love 💕 this movie!
