He did not win Oscar for this specifically but for another movie. However, it is widely believed that the academy voted for his body of work including Gladiator which he missed getting.
@@sariel8406 little advice.....sorry for my bad english....girl change your haircut, change your makeup, change your eyebrows....for your bf sakes. u r welcome
The northern Germanic tribes were anything but savage. Like the Romans, they also had a rich culture, just like the Celts/Gallic tribes in France and Britain.
The dirt was two fold, as I have heard. One for keeping his palms from getting sweaty during battle (Preventing the sword from flying out of your grip). Two for the symbolism of the ground that he fights on. (In Saving Private Ryan, one of the soldiers used to collect some dirt in small containers, for every time they conquered some territory in WWII)
Despite what you expect, medical was quite good back then. They were using many treatments for injuries. The maggots were used to clean the wound, which they still use today
I went and saw this movie six times when it was in the movie theaters. The giant screen when they walk into the Colosseum was glorious!!!!! Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Jack Gleeson starred as Joffrey Baratheon in the HBO series Game of Thrones. He cited Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of Commodus in Gladiator (2000) as an influence on his performance. 💯
Oliver Reed (slave trader) was a very popular actor) unfortunately he died on the set just before the ending of filming. That story Comodus was told about the sea snake.. that poison was what Maximus was stabbed with.
Never occurred to me, based on what's shown in the movie, that sea snake venom was involved in Maximus' death. What I did see was a square implement, which does not allow the stab wound hole to close up on its own, forced into a vulnerable area of Maximus' body (the small of his back) near kidney, liver, major blood vessels. This wound led to Maximus' bleeding-out after the exertion involved during the fight with Commodus.
The actor who played Proximus (the Gladiator trainer) was Oliver Reed. He was an extraordinary british actor, with a very interesting, fascinating and atypical life. He also was known for his alcoholism, having some scandals on TV and cinema as a consequence of this. During the filming of Gladiator in 1999, he sadly passed away. He had been sober for months, but one night (during a break from filming the movie) in an Irish pub in Malta (after a bet), he drank three bottles of Jamaican rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous double whiskeys and challenged five young English sailors of the Royal Navy to arm-wrestling at The Pub bar (which after this incident was called Ollie's Last Pub). His bill, which was never paid, is preserved in a decorative frame in the bar.
Hello there! Watched your reaction on this on the other channel previously and now rewatching it here again 😂😂 i love it. I’ll also post the same comment on the older video; would love to see your reaction on the below movies: - saving private ryan - the green mile - beautiful mind - inglorious basterds - warrior (starring tom hardy)
In the beginning you said „you should have put more time educating your son“ actually he did, Commodus was schooled and trained to an amount that he had the best education possible and Marcus Aurelius did his best, Commodus also in real history was just an awful son and person and an entitled brat… Marcus Aurelius is not to be blamed, everyone in history that wrote about his contact to Commodus says that Commodus was just an idiot/ a coward and someone who did not want to do his duties and only profit and do what he wants - not serving Rome or the people or something like that… he was one of the most horrible leaders the Roman Empire ever had… Marcus Aurelius was one of the best by the way and all his wars during his reign were only defending wars - he did not attack once or fight because he wanted to make the Roman Empire even greater in area / he just defended the Roman Empire and his borders… he is known as the Philosopher and still today you can buy many of his books that he wrote (or his daily journal that has been revealed to the public nowadays…) he was a noble man and he wanted only the best for the people and for his son - but for his son it didn’t quite workout, Commodus was just cruel, lazy, entitled and a shitty person overall
Great reaction! But my man can you turn down your mic volume by 20%? Your normal way of talking is to shout so your delivery is much louder than her and the movie.
