    Ridley Scott made a universally great movie here, by sticking to traditional themes, and picked a setting which still echoes through time. This passed the reaction test completely.

    Oliver Reed died three weeks before principal photography ended. Because Proximo was considered a key character, a clause in the movie's insurance contract would have allowed the filmmakers to re-shoot all of Reed's scenes with another actor at the insurer's expense, about $25 million. However, most of the actors and crew were exhausted from the punishing schedule, and Sir Ridley Scott did not want to cut Reed from the movie. The script was rewritten, and a body double and CGI were used to give Reed's character a plausible resolution.

      I don't want to sound cruel but Gladiator is a better movie because Oliver Reed died (more expensive to make, yes) but the whole Maximus's friend saying "I will see you again but not yet" (originally Proximo was supposed to be the last man in front of the camera) and other little pieces regarding Maximus's black friend who is more likeable than Proximo were only put in to make up for the loss of Proximo.

    They might be interested to know that, although the story is fictional, some of the characters were real. Commodus was a real Emperor, and he really did fight in Gladiatorial arenas (although he fixed his fights by giving his opponents wooden weapons). There is no evidence that he murdered his father to become Emperor, though. Indeed, he was already ruling the Empire anyway due to his father's failing health. He was described by contemporary historians as cowardly and stupid, and his rule was noted for many acts of wanton cruelty.
    Maximus himself is a purely fictional character. But is a composite of several real life individuals.
    Joaquin Phoenix is indeed an incredible actor and has a show stealing performance here, while Russel Crowe always has a kind of rugged, everyman charm.

    A digital body double was created for the remaining scenes involving actor Oliver Reed's character Proximo (the old gladiator) due to Reed's death during production. Reed died from a heart attack during a break from filming Gladiator in Valletta, Malta, on the afternoon of 2 May 1999. According to witnesses, he drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac, in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub. His bar bill totaled a little over 270 Maltese lira (almost 450 GBP; about 590 USD). After beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling, Reed suddenly collapsed, dying while en route to hospital in an ambulance. He was 61 years old

    The actor playing Proximo (Oliver Reed) passed away shortly after finishing his scenes. There is an on-screen dedication to him that reads "In loving memory of Oliver Reed", but there's another amazing thing about this movie that many people don't know about.
    In the original version of the film it was Proximo who was supposed to betray Maximus in the end, but it would make his character too unlikeable. Not an image you would like to leave behind of an actor who has just died.
    So some movie scenes were reshot, others were changed. The whole scene where Proximo is freeing Maximus at night while soldiers are fighting against gladiators - that's not Oliver Reed, its a man that looks like him from a distance. The moment when Proximo unlocks the bars and exchange a few words with Maximus, if you pay close attention light on Proximo's face doesn't look exactly right - that's because it was Oliver Reed's face taken from another scene and digitally superimposed on the face of his "double".
    The moment where soldiers are about to stab Proximo to death - he is filmed from behind as they are closing in, but when he says "Shadows and dust" while it cuts to his face, that bit was taken from when they were in the Colosseum and he said those exact words to Maximus.
    Seems like simple enough changes, but you must remember that digital effects were not cheap, or easy in 1999. Reshooting all the other scenes and re-cutting the movie just to give Oliver Reed a better send-off cost millions of dollars, but that's what the director decided that should happen - Thank you Mr Scott.

      I don't care what gender you are, if you don't feel you can allow yourself to cry after some of the most moving movies of all time, such as Schindler's List, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, etc., then I think you are doing yourself a great disservice. It is not un-manly to FEEL and to CARE... don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise. That isn't manly, it's just sad, unhealthy, and more than likely, a lie to yourself by trying to fit into a false narrative. No truly brave man would do that.

The film also teaches us some valuable leadership lessons, the main of which is that leadership is not a position (a leader can never be appointed) but the result of someone's integrity, strength and courage and something that is always earned in the eyes of the people who choose to follow that person.

    There are a lot of historical inaccuracies, Commodus was co-Emperor alongside his father for a number of years before Marcus Aurelius died of an illness during a campaign against the Quadi Germanic tribes. The battle in the beginning of the movie was an early battle in Marcus' reign against the Boii, an Iron Age Germanic tribe that eventually became the Dutch Vikings.
    Commodus was murdered by his personal trainer and bodyguard Narcissus acouple of years later, it's not verified as fact but some historians claim Commodus was bisexual and made unwanted advances on Narcissus who had no interest in him.
    Maximus was a fictional character loosely based on Judah Ben Hur in the Christian bible who was falsely accused of murdering a Governor and forced to fight as a gladiator as a charioteer until he won his freedom. Then went on a bunch of revenge crusades against the Romans like Robin Hood until became a disciple of Jesus, witnessed the crucifixion, married Esther, had a couple brats and allegedly built the Catacomb of Callixtus or Crypt of the Popes in the Appian Way in Italy.

    21:11 "Pisat", " Pisati", "Pisa" in Serbo-Croatian (spoken in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro and sub families in Macedonia, Slovenia) means to urinate lol. I heard something along those lines.

    It's hard to understand Lucilla at the beginning. She slapped her brother because she knew he killed their father. But the world now sees her brother as Emperor. The emperor of Rome holds ultimate power and he could easily have her and/or her son killed. So she slapped her brother, but she kissed the hand of the emperor in hopes of keeping her son and herself safe from him. She was in survival mode at that point. If nothing else than for her son.

    I love these guys. *Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World* (2003) is another amazing Russell Crowe movie. Also, *American Gangster* (2007), with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington, is great.

    Rome was a Republic, their Senate was voted on by male citizens who owned land, ex-military who survived enough campaigns were given land, and businessmen who made contributions to the Roman military and churches. To run for Senate you had to be of certain family bloodlines and be educated in multiple languages Latin, Hebrew, Greek at least as well as diplomacy and politics. A formal education was only for the rich so politics was an exclusive club, still is.
