I like how the other gladiators pay respects as he is walking out. He is literally saving a number of their lives himself by killing all the arena "enemy" gladiators so they don't have to. Dude would get mad respect for that.
Yes, I love that little aside. To think that Marcus even considered him his one true SON. Maximus was a special person. It shows how much honor and integrity he possessed.
@@ihavegymnastics thats what those whacky inventors wore back then. See him standing beside his odd "camera and tripod". It took nearly 2 millenia for those to become mainstream
It's the little details. Like the way the gladiators are hesitant to attack first when Maximus enters the arena. Like his reputation by this point has got them scared and they know they could die....and do!
He would probably be far more skilled than the randoms he would be fighting against. I could believe a skilled swordsman could defeat poorly skilled opponents.
It wasn't freedom he sought, but an audience with the emperor to exact his revenge. The look of guilt on Maximus knowing the men will die in his path for revenge is unnerving, absolute masterpiece of a movie.

Oliver Reed, after everything, deserved to go out with a stellar, memorable and career defining performance in a global hit and by gosh he did it with the help of Ridley Scott who really pulled a power move casting him in this role. Bravo gentlemen, bravo!
Dude, OMG it toke me 20+ yrs to realize how legendary that spectator who started shouting "Spaniard!" "Spaniard!" Oh I hope his grand children and his great grand children to this day, know the great line they come from 🎉😂
Actually, in a contest like that, it was considered bad form to attack from behind. In truth, at that point, in the late second century, in gladiatorial contests gladiators were rarely killed in the arena, as they had become very expensive commodities and were very popular with the public, much like professional athletes of today. They actually had referees at this point to insure the enforcement of rules and the safety of the combatants
I went to this town in morroco a few years back...the little stadium wasnt rhere bur you knew where you were. I sceeamed are you not entertained at the top of my lungs!
He’s in that mindset of absolutely nothing to lose at this moment , his whole family has been killed and he’s a slave , only later on does he start to have things to care about like his fellow gladiators. He doesn’t care if he dies here , he’s just going 100% In with no fear.
like a true soldier, every strike is intended to kill, and he dispatches his enemies with ruthless efficiency, that is the nature of war, not entertainment
Amazing to see them act so well together on screen but sad to know that in reality, Crowe hated Reed so much because of his non stop drinking and bad behaviour on set...
I don’t think Crowe hated him at all but was annoyed by his unprofessionalism, then Reed died towards the end of the filming due to his ill health and alcoholism.
The torment, pain , torture and anguished death these men were subjected to in the name of entertaonment and power is horrifuc! Where were the tears 😭 of the 50,000 members of the "audience" in the stadium?
Oliver Reed's final theatrical performance. I saw the second film yesterday and the retcon I didn't like at all. That was my only issue with Gladiator II. Had Oliver Reed not died his character Proximo would've survived by the end of the film.
All the other gladiator masters are like "dude wtf?!?!?!" They were supposed to put on a show. Maximus coming and ignoring decorum is like Huey going off about white people
I’ve always felt that there is something missing in the movie. Because the fight before this he was just one among many and now they now his name and have a fan base?

Possibly ruin, unfortunately likely. I can’t see a logical reason to refer to a movie 20+ years after the fact as a sequel and I will never view it as such. A proper sequel might have involved Maximus in the next life seeking out his family. If Crowe is in it he’s gonna be Proximo and we just get a shitty reshoot of the original. There is no sequel that wasn’t shot 20 years ago. It’s just a cash grab.
He beat the first three to quickly and didnt use kill shots. He literally stabbed the fourth or fifth guy under the arm......No kidding!! Not at all realistic

Not only that, the oppoent gladiators stept back when Maximus came out, they were affraid

I love how the gladiator laughs at the slave master when he talks about knowing Marcus Aurelius, knowing how well he knew him personally.
he didn't say he knew him. he said he touched him on the shoulder once.
@@OutlawSoul nice one

Proximity celebrating something Maximus promises they’ll have never seen before with no idea he’s talking about getting revenge for his family.
😂😂😂@@OutlawSoul
1:19 Maximus is so legendary that people from our era came back in time just to witness and film it so we could watch it on RUclips.
Or that jeans and a white-cotton tee were a fashion trend back then that just never took hold..... ;)
They never removed him digitally after all these years lmao

Yes it's an excellent caveat. With his hand on his sword. There's not a bad scene in this film.

Yea i didnt like it either. why cant they make movies like they used to?
@@BrickPB Because they keep remaking old movies and failing at it on principle.
“Turn the music up, turn me down; Guru… let’s go get em again”
RIP Oliver Reed. Passed during filming so he was not able to witness the impact of his performances.
"I did not say I knew him I said he touched me on the shoulder once!"
Laughed out loud at that
The sound of his spit hitting the ground
Now THATS attention to detail!
Props to the sound editor !!!
One of the best heel promos ever filmed
Dude isn't a heel at all in my opinion. He'd have been booed if that was case.

Better than the whole Spartacus world, where exaggeration beats this more realistically legendary masterpiece, well at least in my humble opinion.
1:18 the guy on the left must have been from the tribe of Levi’s
STRENGTH AND HONOR
Oliver Reed stole every scene he was in
Oliver Reed was a grossly underrated actor.
Gladiator 2000 was such a masterpiece. A movie that never get a sequel.
RIP Oliver Reed...you nailed this role.
The first 1:50 is better than every movie that has come out in the last 10 years
They were expecting a 2 hour epic. And Maximus finish them off in a commercial break
The begining walk is just 🤌
I went to this town in morroco a few years back...the little stadium wasnt rhere bur you knew where you were. I sceeamed are you not entertained at the top of my lungs!
So much more depth to this movie than the sequel.
so epic and kino the way he stands up in a second knowing he will most probably die!!!!!!!!! i love this movie so much
Oliver Reed was a great actor.
R.I.P.
Favourite film.
1:16
The iconic scene
I am thankful to god that I am alive to witness such a masterpiece
Proximo is surprised that the crowd doesn’t mind Maximus’s hack jobs.
Yup, so im watching Gladiator again
Still entertained
Gladiator 2 should have been based on Proximo's life
1:46 those dudes haven't seen a thing, they're just chanting because everyone else is
Lmmfao 😂😂😂 nosebleed seats!

Ridley Scott once showed....Are you not entertained ?
gladiator 2 is not even close
I wonder. If you put Maximus, Leonidas the first, and Atilla together in the arena. Who would be the last man Standing?
how do you even compare them to Leonidas... He was training to kill as a toddler...
Anyone know music in the background as he's slaughtering
I’ve always felt that there is something missing in the movie. Because the fight before this he was just one among many and now they now his name and have a fan base?

So much better than this second movie.......

Maximus: Amen 🙏

Honestly embarrassing how much worse Paul Mescal was than Russell Crowe as the leading man
I guess
Proximo : Dana white

R u soppose to answer yes or no? Cause it seems ambiguous either way
The line should have been “I do not entertain “!
“Are you not entertain?” Suggests he finds enjoyment of the stage.

why do they call him Spaniard?
Because he was actually from Spain (at that time Hispania). No one there knew his real name, so he got that nickname.
