Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor's son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father's favourite general. He kills his father and arranges the murder of the general's family, and the general is sold into slavery to be trained as a gladiator - but his subsequent popularity in the arena threatens the throne.

One of the best pre-battle speeches. He mentions family as a great motivator to carry out their duties, not hollow concepts. That "riding alone, with the sun in your face" joke not only serves to relieve some of the pre-battle nerves, it's also a comforting reminder about afterlife. And, finally..."what we do in life, echoes in eternity"...all that delivered with the strong voice & charisma of a general, who despite his rank, is a "primus inter pares", addresses his troops as "fratres" and leads them from the front... This particular speech scene will always send shivers down my spine and make me stand straighter

I like the opening of this scene. You can tell Maximus is beloved by the men, Commodus was not just jealous of the respect he commanded, but he also knew he would never be able to become emperor without full control of the military - Maximus, while an honorable man, was a threat to Commodus's ascension to power simply because Maximus owned their hearts and minds.

@Finn_MacCool 4 месяца назад

One subtle point I think people miss because it goes by so quick is the dynamic between Maximus and Quintus. You can tell there is some tension and maybe even hostility between them. And that pours over into the scene where Quintus betrays Maximus.

@gregthepeglegpregdreg Месяц назад

this plays a lot into real Roman history, an Emperor always wanted to ensure the Legions were more loyal to him than to their general, the simple fact was who ever controls the armies, controls Rome. Augustus recognizes this and begins the practice of the Legions being directly payed by the emperor with "donatives" and introducing pensions for them. There was case where a Roman General recognized this fact too, I don't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure it was when Augustus was emperor a General saw his men held him with more respect than they did the emperor, this general having too much respect for Augustus himself decided the honourable thing to do, and what was in the best interest of Rome was to resign and become a farmer, relinquishing his power, and ensuring he did not threaten the emperor's rule.

U don't light arrows and shoot them, u put smth on them and light it up. And u certainly cannot kill smth with such arrow. This is not how it works. U don't put fire line ahead of u as well.

@nerva- 11 месяцев назад

@@koreancowboy42 yeah, the depiction of the infantry was the real disappointment in this otherwise cool sequence -- they just kind of walk along until they get rushed by the German mob and then it's just a scrum. The real foundation of the Roman army was its infantry and their extremely disciplined tactics, which were not on display here at all. The Rome TV show (for all its flaws in the second season) did an infinitely better job of depicting the infantry. Another MAJOR problem with this scene is if you actually look closely at the shots it is obvious that many people aren't even going through the motions of fighting -- at 6:34 in particular, some German holding a spear walks into the back of a Roman soldier who falls down and the German is just laughing like the camera isn't even rolling.

@@koreancowboy42 no, the Phalanx had the advantage on good terrain. The Roman legions were better overall because they were effective even in bad terrain with their disciplined use of Roman tactics, which were flexible, unlike the Phalanx. Also, the movie DOES show off them using the "tortoise" vs. arrows, but then it didn't follow through with them using proper discipline and tactics once the enemy charged them -- it was just every man for himself.

At it’s height the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan ran as far East as the modern Arabian Gulf, where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers flow into the sea. Trajan himself stood on “a gigantic stone” and looked eastward. He could not know that he was exactly nine days march (on foot) from the furthest westward outpost of the Han Dynasty of China. As mind boggling as it is a Chinese Explorer from the Han Dynasty, the monk Zhang Qian, may have stood on that same rock and looked westward precisely 150 years before Trajan. Both men , Emperor and Monk, thought they had traveled far enough, turned around and went back home. EDIT: Never again would a Western Civilization at it’s Apogee be so close to Chinese Civilization at one of it’s Highest Peaks.

Not to be overlooked is the great music that accompanied and gave superb color to this movie!

It is nice how the enemy just stoof their shouting and let the Romans get ready.

The epic level of destruction that the Roman Army could dispatch was truly awe inspiring. It predated WW1 by obviously thousands of years but in some ways was just as simple and terrifying in scale. Before this film came out you just wouldn't have appreciated it.

I read some place that one of the reasons Ridley Scott was able to get such a look of realism to the forest burning was because they literally burned it down. The forest that they shot the scene in was slated to be destroyed, so they were given permission to go all out with the fire.

"Hold the line! Stay with me!" That leadership. This movie still sends shivers down my spine, never got tired watching it, since 2000, I don't think I'll ever get tired watching it.

One of my top 3 movies, which I will always watch, whenever it's on tv (with Pulp Fiction & Sicario).

Late 90's/ early 2000's had the most epic historical battle scenes. Now it would just mostly be CG

One of the coolest (if not "THE" coolest) battle scenes ever.

The best and most accurate portrayal of a Roman battle scean in the history of cinema..

@elplow8486 Месяц назад

Dont think they would use the legionaries in a battlefield like this. They were succesful because of them fighting together not in a caotic fight like this

@iatsd Месяц назад

Best in that it gets across the idea of the Roman military as a well organised machine, but it is not accurate in many ways. Most of the heavy equipment was only used during sieges, and Roman cavalry was never just "legionaires on horses" as depicted in the film. The Legionaires *were* depicted correctly AFAWK in terms of how the units were deployed and moved across the battlefield. That matches written records and artistic depictions from throughout the empire. But we simply don't have any firm record on how they actually fought because despite having the training manuals from various periods which say how the Romans *wanted* them to fight, the only accounts we have of them *in the field* ALL describe different things happening in practice.

Legionaries should throw their pilums to The Enemy lines before melee starts.

Absolute great opening scene and the landscape really looks like in the the teutoburg forest (northrhine westphalia and lower saxony), where the romans lost three legions (17., 18. und 19.) including auxiliaries under Publius Quinctilius Varus in 9 AD.

When this movie came out we exited the cinema like we always did and quoted some of the best lines. Not knowing that we had it so good back then

Ironic. Considering that the Ancient Germans had spent much of their time resisting Roman conquest; only to play cultural 'catch up' from The Middle Ages onwards, against the rest of Romanized Europe and, given a strange twist of fate by the time that the 20th Century had dawned: Those Ancient barbarians, evolved and unified under the German High Command had evoled into a mighty 'Roman' army, far surpassing in both tactical and technical prowess the Italian army of the time. Direct descendants of The Romans. Which goes to show that one society or culture, picks up the torch from another, to carry on with the marathon: The French invented ballet, but it was The Russians who further developed it and made themselves the masters of it. Again, so ironic.

It always cracks me up when movies show northern europeans running at a shield wall bristling with spears like a horde of zombies.😆 Also, they would have to finish fighting the northmen as quickly as possible so that they could fight the forest fire they just started!
