This chick, MJ, thinks that her dialogue is more important than the entertainment of her viewing audience. Chill out, and give the movie a chance for heaven's sake!
my dialogue is more important ... the entire point of my channel is MY REACTION. i aint gotta chill sh*t out, you can gtf off my channel if it bothers you that much, for heavens sake!
PS. Even if I did stop talking (which I’m not 🖕) that would mean less of the movie would show due to copyright and you guys would complain about the video being too short 😃 can’t please everyone!
I’m LMAO……. Love you from Scotland ❤
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN Sometimes I think the Earth is off its axis a little because all of these a-holes keep coming out of nowhere! Lol
I'm for you, my sweet angel! Keep smiling and laughing! 😄🤗
Looks like you might be the one who needs to “chill out”. It’s her channel so you go make your own then sit quietly throughout your movie review and see how many blokes will tune in. Not many I assure you. It’s called a movie review/reaction so the dialogue is more than appropriate for that platform, and as one of her viewing audience I want her smart and sometimes sarcastic dialogue to enjoy myself while I watch her reviews/reactions so stop speaking for everybody and feel free to not watch if it’s that important to you.
Your the worst kind of reactor. Try to watch some reaction channels that understand that own voice is not the most important thing.
The Roman Empire left so much written history, culture, law, tradition, entertainment, lifestyle, they left records of it all
Or rather stole a lot of history from other countries that they colonized and then incorporated it as their own.
So much so that our founding fathers decided to model the US Republic after Rome's despite it being historically proven to catastrophically fail.
yeah I couldn't after that.. like how can you start with "I'm ignorant haha but so is everybody all we have is a few scriptures" .. also China India Hittites so many more
Maximus was born in Hispania (Spain today), one of the main Roman provinces, so yes he was a Spaniard
So he was a mexican. Noted
He puts the dirt on his hands for grip obviously but the reason he smells it is to remind him of his farm life at home and what he’s fighting for.
Gladiator, it was the last movie I watched with my dad, so it's very special for me.
In the Roman Empire it was actually common for Emperors to pass down the crown to a non family member, when Marcus Aurelius passed down the crown to Commodus it was taboo, but Marcus only did it so he didn't have to sentence Commodus to death for his aspirations.
One of my favorite movies ever. Seen it so much. Another fav of mine also starring Russell Crowe is Master and Commander
My dad likes that one.
I am so glad you’re watching the longer movies now, they are usually so much better.
In my top 3 favorite of all time for sure. Tombstone, Gladiator, Brave Heart.
Hispania/Iberia (Spain and Portugal) became part of the Roman Empire a couple hundred years earlier. The Caesars Hadrian and Trajan were from Hispania. That's why Maximus was being called Spaniard...because he was.
Hadrian and Trajan born in Hispania but from Italic people. Only italic people have full citizenship, only with Caracalla (the evil Emperor of Gladiator 2 😏😈) will citizenship be extended to the entire Empire people.
You are wrong. Before Roman citizenship was generalized to the inhabitants of the entire Empire, there were already Roman citizens without Italic ancestry. As for Trajan, his family was of Turdetan origin, a town in pre-Roman Hispania. As for Hadrian's family, although they came from Italy, they had been settled in Itálica, present-day Andalusia, for about 300 years when he was born.
Something else to add regarding the citizenship of the inhabitants of the Empire: the character of Maximus comments that he lives near Trujillo. That city in the province of Cáceres did not yet exist. But in the same area there was Emerita Augusta, today Mérida, hence Maximus's third name is Meridius. In the Spanish dubbing, Trujillo was changed to Emerita Augusta, since the name Trujillo in a Roman film seems strange and anachronistic to Spaniards. Emerita Augusta was founded in the year 25 BC by veterans of the Roman army, among whom were numerous Hispanics. All of them were already Roman citizens. By the time in which Maximus is supposed to have lived, both the descendants of these veterans and many Romanized indigenous people were full Roman citizens
Historically the movie is fairly accurate on the broad strokes, but they take liberties to make the story. No evidence Commodus killed his dad Marcus Aurelius. But Marcus Aurelius was a real emperor who is considered a good, wise, and very capable emperor and his son Commodus was a nut. But...Maximus didn't exist.
However we do actually know a lot about what happened. They were a very literate society and kept plenty of records that we still have.
35:27 - The guy you say look good (I'm assuming you were talking about Proximo) was played by Oliver Reed, who died during filming, so they had to complete some scenes with special effects. The one with the eyebrows died 3 years after the movie came out... so there's that
This is by far the best Soundtrack of all times
Love how you dipped into other genres, it’s fun any way you go
And the princess does have a great survival instinct. She can keep him in check, for the most part, but if u didnt catch it, she actually drugs him, which is why he always falls asleep when things get super wierd etc.
My favorite movie of all time since it came in 2000. Great reaction! ❤
The busy little bee line is one of the scariest lines I've ever heard. Joaquin Phoenix played the perfect role. This is the first movie I can remember seeing in theaters that not only left me speechless but left me crying my eyes out. I've seen it so many times and I still cry my eyes out.
if anything, please know that the romans wrote about and documented EVERYTHING, there's not a ton that they left us guessing about. as for the movie it's all in good fun and i'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yea, the Romans left lots of structures, buildings, statues and written history. The Roman Colosseum in the film is still standing today and a big tourist spot.
partially standing ...
Americans dont have the education to "recognise history" if it stares them in the face, which was demonstrated when US troops turned a few mounds of shards at BABYLON ... into a parking lot for their tanks after the invasion of Iraq.
MJ, you seem to have a General yourself. You know strategy and people.
The dirt rubbing in hand give you good grip on a weapon.
This is one of my favorite movies.
Gladiator is my favorite movie of all time
yes, he's the emperor so he can name whoever he wants as heir .
Fun fact/facts:
The crowd actually didn't speak much english so it took some direction to get them to cheer, and also the actor Oliver Reed (Proximo, Maximus' Patron) was deceased so most of his scenes were done with CGI.
Horses can't run forever like in the movies they will die after a few miles that's why he took two. Even though that's not enough to gallop from Germany to Spain 😊
Not to overwhelm, but for a single little kingdom, we normally count surviving materials in the thousands; for the roman empire, we have countless documentations of all kinds - historians do a lot of work, and we do know a lot about the past!
That said, the director made himself some dramatic choices here, that most historians by now have pointed out. It's normally fine to veer off a little bit, so long as it's made clear the movie does not intend to lecture, but show a good story.
I could listen to MJ talk all day 😍
As a nurse in the mental health field, being jealous of someone for being loved is truly a legitimate and valid feeling. It does, unfortunately, happen.
as someone who suffers from mental illnesses, I 100% believe that.
Caesar Marcus was played by Richard Harris was Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies. Proximo played by Oliver Reed, unfortunately he died before the end production.
"a few scruptions" about the Romans lol. There is a crazy amount of Latin literature, from philosophy to gastronomy to engendering and science to a lot more
Putting maggots on the wound is actually smart. They only eat dead/infected flesh.
That Commodus guy; he's a real Joker!
I see what you did there
@@oloatis2182 🤣
one of your very best, MJ.. i'm subscribed now.. thanks for this great reaction vid.. the editing was so good
Before " Gladiator " there was " Conan The Barbarion " . And before that there was " Ben Hur ".
The horse died when it fell like that because it ran till it's heart stopped
one of my favorite movies of all time
34:53 You’re funny. The ancient equivalent of NBA All-Star Weekend groupies 💀
The grind is realllllll rolling outta bed to react to movies, keep goin queen ❤
@2:09 Ouch. NO! There are so many writings from these times and archeological evidence to help validate many claims from the Roman era. Just depends which centuries you are referring to.
"I didn't say I knew him I said he touched me on the shoulder once!" 😆
Hey we all got our little brushes with stardom
the enemy germans took position in the trees trying to bait the romans into pursuing, the romans had numerical superiority, this was the last of the german army until they had won germany. the praetorian guard commander was concerned about his men getting into battle, but maximus kindly told him to shut up that it would be acceptable. praetorians had real control at times in history, thats why they supported the treacherous son. plus the soil is too wet in the environment for sustained forest fires.
Telling on my age here but this was the first movie I went to see in movie theatres. Year 2000 this was one of the best movies out when I was in HS. Great reaction!
I know these are reaction videos but my biggest issue is when all the person or people reacting to the movie or show just talk through the whole thing and MJ WITHOUT SPIDERMAN in my opinion your reaction was very enjoyable. Awesome reaction you definitely have a new subscriber. I look forward to watching more reactions from you.
Wassup MJ always enjoy your reactions and can't wait for this one 😊
1:59 Try starting at Google, when it comes to what happened in Rome we aren’t guessing. As other people said the Romans kept records of what was happening to them.
A lot of what we think of as structured society comes from the Romans and the Greeks. If you truly wish to learn something about how our society got here its not hard.
I've been trying not to, but you are just way too amazing to not fall in love with! Every time you smile and laugh I get all warm and squishy inside, wishing I could give you a big squeeze!! Lol
Love you, sweet girl! You have been a nurturing blessing for my soul and I am truly grateful for you! ❤🤗😇
So back in those times it wasn't uncommon for brothers & sisters to sleep w/ one another, especially those of higher decent because they believed in keeping the Blood Lines "Royal"!!!! I took a Greek Mythology Course a long time ago when i was in school & learned that....
One of the best movies all time.
It’s based on historical events but it’s fictionalized. Meaning it’s loosely based on real events in history but it’s a fictional story. But still a great movie.
@MJ Continue to seek out greatness and films that move you emotionally. Fun watch, this is one of my 25 favorite films. Ridley Scott is an amazing director
loved your reaction. Good commentary! 19:05 He was leading a horse while riding a horse so he can swap when the first gets tired. In ancient history the Chinese did that to travel long distances.
Also, they're making a Gladiator 2, with Djimon Honsou (his Black friend from the end part). I'm so happy. 😊
Maximus was a farmer b4 he was a general. He picks up the dirt....rubs his hands and smells it bc it reminds him of the life that was stolen from him.
Now you are ready to watch Gladiator 2 that should be released this Fall. Some of the original cast from this movie will be back. G2 will focus on Lucius, the boy who will be grown who took over Rome after the death of Maximus
He's likely taking two horses because he plans on riding one to death
Well upon rewatching I guess he rode both horses to death
Another banger!!!🔥🔥
this movie tears me up every time I even went to see Hans zimmer and Lisa Gerrard three weeks ago ... too powerful and has been a huge impact on my life.
Really raising the bar on movie quality as of late.
I remember watching this movie in highschool. And when Commodus smothered his father I was traumatized.
I love what you said: "You stabbed me in the back to have an advantage." That's what a coward would do.
Then Commodus goes and gets stabbed in the front, like a WARRIOR, because Maximus is no coward. That's a take I've never heard before. Girl, you on point!!!! ❤❤
Loving this reaction. Great reaction to this classic movie
MJ Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Great reactions....❤
By the looks of it, the opps in the beginning were not prepared.
One of my all time fave movies, must've seen it atleast a couple dozen times 🙏 You should definitely watch Troy and Kingdom Of Heaven since you seem to enjoy historical epics.
He was a farmer before he was a soldier.
Sweetheart we're still in AD
🤣🤣🤣 honestly, i thought that was cute!
I know what she meant
Incredible ❤
Gotta watch Troy 👌👌
Definitely! Amazing movie. Kingdom Of Heaven is an underrated movie as well.
Troy is severely overrated and not remotely historically accurate. It’s just an average movie about a fictional time in history
@@tonysoto8949
The first scene of "Troy" is pretty much the highlight of the movie.
@@richardrobbins387 yea and the low point is how clumsy and inept Hector was in the severely anticlimactic fight scene between him and Achilles. Anybody with training in any of the martial arts and man to man combat in a war type setting knows you don’t leave your feet to strike your opponent and in Troy they had Achilles dancing around and jumping like a ballerina in the air to land sword and spear strikes. But the fact that Hector trips over a rock during the fight is vaudeville comedy shit.
He took 2 horses because he was gonna go a long way really fast and the one he's sitting on will get tired quicker because of his extra weight then you'll switch to the other 1 he's riding gets tired
Btw, one of my best friends has a pretty cool Spiderman tattoo he got in the 90's. It was b day gift from his wife. This was before all the films so it was for his love of the comics as a kid in the 70's and early 80's.
The crowd was chanting live.
"This is based way back in A.D".
Well it's a good thing we're not back in A.D. You're too cute.
@MJw/oToby couple of things you missed:
1. Commodus probably could've been a very good swordsman; but when we see him sparring, it was with the protection of being the emperor's son. those soldiers were very careful not to injure him.
2. the emperor told Maximus, ''Commodus is not a moral man!'' he was well aware of the evil, and malicious things Commodus had done, in his youth. he probably even knew he lusted for his sister's love
Should def watch Troy now. But also yeah, Marcus Aurelius was real, there's even a book called "Meditations" and it's really good. But yeah back in the day like in Egypt they believed in "pure blood heirs" so they'd have children with family members
You're becoming very cine-literate, MJ! You see the clues and interpret them correctly. The factual tid-bits come later, like the emperor (Marcus Aurelius, also called Caesar) is played by the actor (Richard Harris) who starred in the first two Harry Potter films as Dumbledore. Your human sensibilities and intuition also seem to be in synch with reality. Repeated exposure to film techniques, to literary works, and an expanded awareness of history can only increase your comfort and growth in this world. I'll continue to search for your movie reactions! Best wishes!!
I just love MJ Spirit in theses videos I thank god for her every day this world definitely needs you great video Mj ❤🔥🦋🧸❤️🔥
You have 39k subs and more Patreons than PewDiePie! How? That's insane.. you had a whole movie credits list of patrons.
I am so here for this. Great reaction
Horses are not cars you need change when one is tired...
I am SO sorry I’ve never rode a horse or researched them like tf😭
I know you don't take requests but there's a similar film to Gladiator that was made in 1960 called Spartacus which is the GOAT of these type of movies and the inspiration to Gladiator. One day I hope you can check it out. As always nice reaction, miss MJ.
Excellent movie. Good reaction.
he took two horses because he intends to ride them literally to death so that he can make it to northern spain from germany on time to save his family.
“This is back in AD” girl we still in AD 😂
You are in for a treat
36:13 something about him also a farmer not just a soldier
Love your Videos MJ 💯🖤❤️💝
The extra horse is to travel faster and further than you could with one, carrying a rider tires the horse so he can switch back and forth to maintain their stremgth.
The word you were looking for is resentment 👍🏾
i love you
The Spaniard and the African were the closest out of all the gladiators, both thrown into a situation beyond their control and didnt want but both helping eachother out. Centuries before the Black and latino unity and proximity in the USA.
Best historical movie every made and how ridley scott has not been knighted for this is beyond me
Horse is dying MJ you push a horse to hard it can and will die
❤❤
Oh no you've summoned the history nerds who have been waiting to type at you for not knowing more about the Roman Empire. 😂😂😂
Appreciate you.
LMAOOO I SEE
You don’t have to know the history of Rome to watch this movie, only names used in this movie are anything remotely historically accurate. If you want to be a history nerd then Spaniards don’t have Australian accents. It’s a movie made for Hollywood entertainment purposes only
LOL
I am one of those that was summoned lol 🤣😂🤣😂
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN
Great reaction. Keep it up.
I can't wait for Gladiator 2
I'm not too keen on it after seeing Napoleon , Ridley Scott isn't who he used to be. Plus, nowadays sequels in general are so bad...movies in general 😂
@@MFZ0dd long story short you're slightly right but i can hope lol
@violentwaves oh nothing would make me happier than us getting a great sequel! I hope historical epics make a comeback, I'm tired of the superhero movies.
@@MFZ0dd yeah I got to say the last sequel I can think of that was good was The Raid 2
@@violentwavesHell yeah Raid 2 was great 👌 I also think Extraction 2 was pretty decent.
Check out Brave Heart Movie another impactful character and Movie,if you like Gladiator you will love Brave Heart
This really movie pretty good
Was Max supposed to just let the tiger kill him if that thing attack me while I'm fighting I'd kill it too lol they not having me for no meal I'm tryna survive
