    How utterly fitting and beautiful that a man’s vision of the afterlife and “ paradise” is simply to be in his own home again, with his family waiting for him.

      It is most certainly true that. But there is another thing that coincides perfectly: in Ancient Rome, Elysium was believed to be an immense, beautiful, sun-kissed place with green fields where only the Gods’ favorite souls could go and live the afterlife in peace and harmony. The Tuscan countryside (where it was filmed) is easily one of the best resemblances to it. And if you add to that Maximus’ wife and child were among the Gods’ favorite souls... that’s a bingo. I think it is a bit of a combination of this idea and Maximus’s home.

When he heard “Juba” say :”I will see you again, but not yet, not yet...”. My dad immediately said out loud “That’s right!” My dad passed in March of 2017. After the funeral, I replayed this scene and said the same thing to my dad. Much love to you all.

He casted out and reeled in his line, he muttered something and had a little chuckle. He never said a name or gave a hint to who he was with but it was nice to see him think he was in a good place and not scared before he left us. RIP Dad ❤️

    The most moving thing about this heroic epic is not his inevitable death, which underlines the tragedy of the main character again, but that at the moment of his triumph, his complete vengeance, he manifests a complete disinterest in this world and his desire to be with his family in the hereafter unite, revealed. No fame, no honor, no wealth, no power, just his loved ones.

      he had no reason left to be in this world, his life was dedicated to have justice for his murdered family and once that was achieved he passed away, in a way this reminds me of the crow movie, where eric draven (brandon lee) is unjustly murdered alongside his girlfriend by a brutal crime boss and the crow brings him back from the realm of the dead to right the wrong that has befallen him and once his task was completed his soul finally found peace

    • @marinkovcomedy
      @marinkovcomedy 3 года назад +19

      I'd say that is incorrect. When his thoughts of the afterlife are interupted he thinks about Rome. About his honor, about the legacy that was Rome and the word he gave. Even in death he was dutiful. So your comment about his disinterest in the real world is completely wrong. He still possessed a presence in life, which he dutifully attended to, even when dying. Upon death, his duty was finished. He could now rest.

He was so tired and ready when he passed. He was ready to go home being happy knowing he fought the good fight and be one again with his family in the afterlife. That is what being a man is all about.

    To me, this movie is about the value of ethical, charismatic leadership. Maximus could have betrayed Senator Graccus, he could have just stayed a gladiator and gotten rich, he could have gone in a million selfish directions.
    Yet, he knew he was going to have to die. And he went ahead and did what he did anyway. And that's leadership. It isn't about having the big office and the fancy car. it's about standing in the door for the people who rely on you, it's about taking the hit when you could have just as easily blamed it on a subordinate, it's about having to endure pain and suffering and humiliation for the greater good.

Here I am 13 years later and recently watched the movie in its entirety for the first time. There’s so much to say… ‘Now we are free’ is such a beautiful song and sometimes I’ll just listen to it and imagine the last scene of the movie. It brings a heaviness to my throat and tears up my eyes every time. Truly a masterpiece. Braveheart is the only other movie that has gotten the best of my emotions.

Everyone carrying his body while they leave the defieted empirer lying there like voltures prey. The respect they had for Maximas, without him demanding it, he demanded respect just by his presence. That last line, "I will see you again, but not yet, not yet." Pulls at my heart strings. Just how the movie leaves one to see the future to your imagination. How everyone was so quiet at the end. Watching a great mans life come to an end. Yes I cry every time. This movie is the best I've ever watched. In terms of script writing, acting, sound. Ect. 😭 Can't help but watch it again and again.

Upon looking I saw my dad was also crying & he just leaned in and gave me a hug. To this day I cannot watch this scene without tearing up.

      Frodo: Hold my emotional scares that mean even when I win and make it back home I can never truly be happy as things can never go back to how they used to be and the only release I'll ever have is a metaphorical death.

      The movie in general is fine, but i found the ending spoiled a bit ridiculous, u mean about the Emperor fighting in the Arena vs a "mere" gladiator is ridiculous if you know about Rome. I feel sometimes the plot get's too complicated to solve it so they go for a deux ex machina ending like this case, the guy was a soldier that ended as gladiator and his nemesis is the emperor in real Rome sorry kid the emperor is virtually unreachable for you.

      @@FermiToll the film is loosely based 9n actual historical events. The fight did indeed happen and Rome was turned over to the people and then Rome fell within 100 years due to corruption. Maximus was a slave after a coup and the emperor died at the hands of a slave, a person wrestler in the arena.

    Just rewatched this film last night. I seriously don't get the backlash toward it. This is a really strong movie. Great acting, terrific Hans Zimmer score, amazing production values, and just tells a great story. That said, I'd totally forgotten how deeply unsettling Joaquin Phoenix is in it. He's such a vile, unpleasant, sickening character, its hard to even look at him. A really great villain.
    And what on Earth is with the hate for the action scenes, too? It may help that I've only ever seen the movie on DVD, but still...the action seems decently filmed. There's some genuinely awesome duels and stunts in here.
    This movie kicks my ass and then some. Crowe is King.

      "He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him." Indeed, Maximus was to fulfill the vision of Marcus Aurelius to expand, defeat and conquer for then, almighty Rome. I could watch this ten years later and still love it.
