Work Together and Survive | Gladiator (2000) | All Action 

I always thought he was being sort of sarcastic, that the huge German guy was on the losing end against Maximus at Vendabona and that's why he was made into a slave and gladiator.

@@nuraby_9228 think it would have been worded “I fought against you” instead of “I served with you” if that were the case.

@@TViper2369 At some cases, slaves were allowed to fight with the Roman Army. This could have been the case.

@@nuraby_9228 I'm pretty sure at this time in the roman empire they enlisted Germania legionararie

@@nuraby_9228 Being sold into slavery was done to deserters in the Roman Army, specially non-Roman auxilia. Is widely thought that's how Spartacus became a gladiator

He was a leader before they got him as a slave.

@@dxarief shikhar was being sarcastic

Watch the movie. Dumbass comment... sarcasm or not.

@@wingman31k I agree

And he saves the lives of his men. That would create loyalty.

He prepared them well.

True, the small attention to detail like that is one reason that makes this movie a masterpiece for ever

You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Also notice Ralph Muller's character didn't join the rest, was fighting on his own, but joined in when he got saved by Maximus.

Agreed, I also like how his followers began to take on his characteristics (fighting valiantly against all odds, working together, etc).

@@natesit7169 The best way to lead is by example.

Respect is not given, it is earned. Also, never ask someone you command, to do something you would not do yourself. I was taught those two lessons very early on in life, and they are very true.

It's really iconic, in fact in Robin Hood Russel Crowe do a similar scene

And at the end, when Maximus upgrades his weapon, simple but elegant.

No. It is a friendship forged in war.

He knew that Maximus was a demon with the short sword

Can you imagine he fumbled it

Seemed a convenient line

because it wouldnt matter to be honnest they might acually put him against more experienced fighters because of that and that is not what you want

That probably was some Masonic Easter egg that Ridley added to the movie

A born leader comes forth even incognito, in a prison or anywhere. People start to trust him, support him, admire him, follow him. The emperors adviser was right: he should have been killed right after this one, else he would take over.

@@mushroomhead5914 how do you mean?

I still hope someone to create a videogame about gladiators fights and stuff.

my favorite part is when we see the gas tank of the chariot, true roman engineering they discovered gastanks at that time

@@Templar_Albrecht Where is the gas tank?

@@Veritech 2:36

It's like when there's an accident on the freeway and everyone rubbernecks. Some things never change

Well said my friend

Beautifully put!

Que?

Great analysis.

Well said. But to play devil's advocate a bit: Hannibal's core Phoenician infantry also fought in the traditional hoplite style, though of course the style of their armor and shields was rather different. And at Zama Scipio also had a large contingent of Numidian cavalry. Of course there's little relation between them and this fantasy chariot force but I believe that's what they're supposed to be as they did play a large role in the battle. For one thing Numidians being north Africans have much lighter skin tone than the Nubians used here and they fought as nimble unarmored light cavalry chucking javelins and had nothing to do with chariots as far as I know. By that period barely anyone was using chariots. Frankly the most unbelievable part of this whole battle is that the gladiators managed to pull off the diamond formation with perfect timing and precision with zero prior drills and organization.

i just noticed that myself. i was like " wait a minute, why am i suddenly swinging from the sails of a ship?"

I thought it sounded similar…. 😳

exactly what I was thinking of. The notes are very similar to Pirate of Carribbean. If Klaus Badelt had done a half decent job then Hans Zimmer wouldn't have had to put this masterpiece in their.

Didn't know both of them were Hans work. I thought they copied it from gladiator.

I know this came first... I even saw it first, but now I always think of that riff as very Pirates.

Respect

Nekem is! ❤

Respect!

​@@harrismazari5484huh

Chaotic evil

great comment. The guy knew that if he said that, that would help sway the rest into co-operating.

A lot of deserters ended up as slaves, and of those many ended up Gladiators. He may have known him from a campaign prior.

I think of what might have happened for that slave who said “I served with you” to be in that spot, maybe he was in a battle where the legion got its ass kicked and various legionnaires escaped with their lives, hiding by day, moving by night, trying to live off the land and avoid capture by enemy forces or slave traders. Or maybe he was just a straight up deserter, got grabbed by who knows and sold into slavery. And the fact he recognized Maximus, knew him, but knew Maximus had no clue who he was, he kept quiet, until then, until death was expected. If Maximus hadn’t spoke up about the Army and strategy, that guy would have most likely taken it to the grave that they served together. Leads me to believe that he didn’t want to have a conversation with Maximus about how he wound up in his situation. Wonder what that guy was thinking when he first saw Maximus? The General of the Armies of the North. I’m sure he thought…….”How the hell did he wind up in here with me?”

Honor means everything to us men who have nothing.

Yep. He sets the strategy, let’s the men execute tactically, let’s them get the credit, and gives them good feedback with ‘’well done!’’

@@steverogers7601 seems to me like the kind of strategy that sets them up to become leaders themselves

Maximus is just a man. I'm glad they didn't make a demi-god/ninja/invincible fighter that gets all the credit :3

200% FACTS NON-FICTION

This is a high IQ comment 🤭

Damn, he died exactly 1 years ago. RIP

Ditto

2023 now

It's 4/14/2023😂 Classic movie, never gets old.

11/08/2023 best movie

The soundtrack is phenomenal - it just layers on the emotion. If you get a chance, listen to it on it's own. I know zippo about classical music, but this should be right up there with the greats IMHO (just wasn't written by a guy that died 300 years ago :^)

Period. It just makes you feel how terrible modern day cinema is. Even the way Joaquin sticks his tongue out in pleasure at the bloodshed is just insane!!

Definitely, this one and the one from the movie "Troy" at the gates of the city when that old guy tries to rescue back his young wife.

One of them! Out of thousands!

Really? I love this movie but the action in this scene seemed subpar to me.

This film and Ben Hur - PERFECTION

Commodus fell victim to one of the oldest villain mistakes in the book: NEVER ask the hero who they are. They will always respond with a badass one-liner or monologue

For me its the one second at 4:28 when the man screams in victory... for me he was saying !you expected us to die, but here we are, you sent your best and we beat them!

This movie copies a LOT of Ben-Hur beat-for-beat. But yeah, it's a good movie.

@@Mark_Bickerton the Nubian is awesome

Sorry deleted my first comment because i felt like an idiot after rereading your comment. Yeah i hear it too

He does that all the time.

He uses that theme in TON of scores.

Normally the directors are the ones that ask the compositor to write something similar to some of their previous works

This movie came out before the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie lol

Weird I didn't think twice about it until your comment. True its a great little detail.

It isn’t mentioned again, kinda wished they’d explored it more, nonetheless a great little point!!

I agree. It was said so casually and the guy who said it was off-screen. It comes off as very trivial, but like you said- the implications are huge. It means that dude recognized Maximus from the very beginning and never told a soul about it, even to Maximus himself. Was he a deserter? or got betrayed like Maximus? We might never know the story of this former roman soldier turned gladiator.

@@JBrander pretty sure that was the big guy who Maximus saved from the oncoming chariot...he remains one of Maximus' top guys but sadly their history is indeed never explored further.

Probably a deserter that was caught and sent to the arenas

Got uncovered when it flipped

wow man what an eye you have!. To be more precise pause at 2:37 and you'll see full blown Roman technology with gas tanks!

@@nevertheless123 It's almost as if that's exactly what I was pointing out... funny that?

To be fair, romans discovered the power of steam

Thanks. I was wondering what the tanks were for since there were actual horses dragging the chariot.

That scene appear three times in Robin hood.

I get goosebumps every time I see it

@@vincentchang0093 haters gonna hate

It (and the name drop) is and I wish I knew why!!

Goosebumps EVERY single time i see that.

I would give so much to see this movie in cinema...

@@N0_1. luckily most theatres are allowing the rental to play your own movies or games so there's that!

@@N0_1. Than search for its screening in cinemas near you.There are several cinemas who also devote room for older films and classics.

Hans Zimmer is a legend.

Saw this is theatre. Mom took me and my brother. Brilliant experience

Right? I noticed it too!

Facts. Perfection

Ehhh no.... MF Doom is wearing a Gladiator mask... actual facts.

@@MickayG ehhhh no. Actually DOOM is the greatest super villain of all time and Russell is on record saying he wanted to pay homage to him. It's on the internet. Look it up.

@@idontevenlikemoney yeah he loved the rapper so much he wanted to play the song all caps during the end credits

@@idontevenlikemoney ehhh yeah no he didn't

@@Ace2Trill ehhh its clearly a fucking joke

Basically anytime Hanz Zimmer is the composer it’s probably a fantastic movie

the shaky camerawork definitely doesn’t do it any justice though

Today it would be toxic masculinity

Well everything except historical veracity... but it IS a great movie!

Check 2:37 there's an air-tank visable. Gladiator had its flaws.

Were they not entertained??

Violence against women is never cool

Good eye

Nah that's the nitrous for the chariots /s

omg lol

Well I don't see too much difference between a todays ambulance car and an old charriot, except maybe the side blades,.

lol good caught.

Just makes you love the actor all the more if you hate the character. Also playing the villain is the brave thing because people will send you death threats to you if you play the villain well.

Sounds like a love/love relationship

Then you don't hate him at all, his character isn't him. As far as i know none of the actors in Downfall have been tried at Nuremberg yet.

@@scorpixel1866 yeah, it’s in the wording. I guess what I meant is when I look at him I see his character from Gladiator and it makes me feel scorn, but then I remember he’s just the actor that plays the asshole in gladiator. 😂 Then I remember him in Signs and I love him again.

Great warrior🔥

Unfortunately not. But for Joker.

@@thedarklordofthetwinmoons9455 Thanks for this information. Could have checked in Google before writing.

@@jacobharris954 Thanks, I must have mixed things up in my mind.

You would almost believe that Joaquin Phoenix IS a psychopath.

Barbarians with roman shields and phalanx tactics.

Those arranged battles are set to force "loser" team to die. Romans had ranged weapons and chariots, so it was a nice surprise for everyone that the barbarians gave that epic comeback :3

@@mikeblackmetal I don't think so. The "barbarians" had heavy infantry equipment and unless they panicked, they were more advantageous. Chariots could not do anything against a shield wall. Even Hannibal elephants could not win against Scipio's heavy infantry at Zama. Of course the crowd didn't know that but i'm pretty sure the Roman generals who watched the fight told each other "wtf is going on, who prepared this fight." :)

errrrr yes sire, Im sorry sire

thats ok i like surprises

Ahaha, I'm guessing they used compressed air to power the destruction effects? Blow parts off, throw dust everywhere? - Edit: Looks like it was used to power the flipping of the chariot, that makes sense.

Thank you! I watched this whole clip looking for that

Not Fact. Fun Fact.

Spartacus is a great gladiator base series

Spartacus is an old movie but still bad ass and wrote the book on every gladiator movie ever.

Yes

I have never watched this movie

Easily.

I saw it in the cinema when it first came out. It definitely belongs on the big screen

Yeah, I think the subtle difference is “I served with you”…which doesn’t give away Maximus’ identity, but at the same time let’s him know “I know who you are, and I’m ready”

have you seen the Dead uruk hai that sits up in the first Lord of the Rings movie just before Boromir dies? we spotted it ourselves when younger.. its funny as

If I remember right, there was also dude from a film set, seeing in the shot when maximus was in that shitty coloseum in the beginning.

Romans were sooo ahead of their time lol

It also has someone in the background wearing jeans (the pre battle scene when Maximus pets his horse)

Can't see it clearly...was it mounted sideways on the back, inside the cab?

That’s what I’m saying

I was waiting for this comment

Gladiator came out in 2000, doomsday dropped in 1999, but he probably bought the gladiator version when he did his shows

@@carlmcgrath484 You know Gladiators were a thing before the movie right?

Same man

Same

Same

ah yes, the wild historical inaccuracies, the cheese!

possibly but fits the madness of the character, his child like enjoyment of the bloodshed.

I read that I in think in an interview or commentary that Ridley was filing that scene all day and Joaquin was stuck in the spectator box and was bored and Ridley happened to catch that reaction over a certain action scene, it was a real bored unscripted reaction caught on film that he added to the scene during editing

That's why he was suited for joker...

Nah that's MF DOOM

The thing is, even with fast paced editing, the action is comprehensible and easy to follow. It's not like a lot of action movies today where it's a blur of motion, and you really have no idea what happened.

You'd be surprised how many older movies "hold up" in that sense. Bad CGI is the norm now, while older movies relied more on practical effects that, when done right, just look better most of the time. Then if you go back even further to movies like Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, and Bullitt, you'll see the most spectacular action scenes ever since much less was faked and both the scale and danger were unparalleled. Modern CGI is a weak substitute, though for safety purposes I'm of course fine with it.

Great acting

I have to admit when he does emotional speech to Richard Harris I thought....who is this guy?

​@@robertwilson214 he was only 25 at the time as well. He'd been active as an actor before then but definitely this is the role where mainstream movie audiences were made aware of this immense talent

@@rickgrewal2232 don't forget his older brother also an actor died early

As amazing as a U tube algorithm

Romans were more advanced then i thought

Right? He was in command and most of the gladiators knew following his orders was the best shot at survival. The few that ignored him quickly perished.

omg what a detailed observation

Great line but that only holds true to a very select few

@@quasar4601 I don't know, but I very much doubt this.I have my own theory about this. I have read that these ancient german tribes sacrificed their enemies, especially high ranking Roman generals, to their gods, more precisely to their god of war. I wondered why. And having thought about this, I came to the conclusion, that they sacrified such high ranking military people to their God of war, because the soul of these sacrified people would from now on belong to this God of war. Which means that in all their future reincarnations they have to serve this god. But this is just my thought and not scientifically confirmed as far as I know.

@@quasar4601 This being said, I think that many people have 'reincarnated' for one purpose or another. And certainly not to serve some germanic gods, but because they 'agreed' before reincarnation to the spiritual world, that they will take care for this or for that, depending of what they have done in their previous life. Just my opinion.
