Joaquin Phoenix should have won an Oscar for supporting cast, and Russell Crowe was phenomenal in his roll on playing Maximus winning his first Oscar!

Phoenix is SCARY good in this role. A real psycho genius!

This movie and titanic are the best films made in the last 30 years. Gladiator was beautiful, triumphant, deeply saddening, and made a permanent impression on me. Russell Crowe himself saw this movie many years later and said he didn’t realize how great it was. He was moved by the finished product and praised all the actors.

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)

One of my favorite things about this movie is how it perfectly displays Marcus Aurelius’ philosophy, like the 4 chief virtues that Maximus incarnates (wisdom, justice, fortitude, temperance) or the quotes which come from Marcus Aurelius’ book “Nothing happens to anyone that he’s not fitted by nature to bear” and “Death smiles to us all, all a man can do is smile back”

You guys have no idea how much this breaks my heart. I saw it when it first came out in 2000 my dad took me and my mom. And when Maximus death came on I couldn't hold my tears . Till this date and seeing this tears again.

This era was peak Hollywood. Weve forgotten how to make a movie of this quality and class

@vihtoripuurola3775 8 months ago

It's very cool how the one gladiator mentions that he served with Maximus at Vindobona (modern day Vienna) as that is where Marcus Aurelius died on 17 March 180.

@benjaminroe311ify 1 year ago

Probably the greatest movie of all time. One of them anyway.

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. 💯

@paulmartin2348 1 year ago

To have a great movie of this type you need a great villain. Joaquin made this move as much as Crow did. IMHO this is a top 10 best movie ever.

@stevetanner3019 1 year ago (edited)

The brilliant score was Hans Zimmer

@maggieshevelew1693 1 year ago

For just a bit of trivia, Russell Crowe is an expert horseman, and he did all the riding stunt work in the battle scenes.

07:40 One thing we often forget about the Romans is that they were very averse to female power. Even noble women couldn’t technically own property unless it was through their husband or a male relative.

@p.j.berman9060 1 year ago

17:45 Well observed! He is Persian. His name is Omid Djalili and he is an Iranian-British comedian and actor.

@p.j.berman9060 1 year ago

In the battle scene at the beginning of the movie, it should be remembered that the Germanic tribesmen are fighting to defend their homes against the Roman invaders.

To see the Germanic tribes’ perspective on an earlier part of this war, I recommend the Netflix show ‘Barbarians’.

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.
