The actor who played Proximo (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.
@@chumpzilla000 True. So? They were still the Emperor's personal guard and obeyed to him for the majority of those four centuries. They wouldn't go sparing a random general's life against the Emperor's orders just out of the blue. 😂
@@chumpzilla000 Same as Janissaries in Ottoman empire,same purpose,they also turned against Sultans,and they also suffered fate similar to praetorians.
@@chumpzilla000 Je suis depuis plusieurs années un prétorien dans une association de reconstitution romaine (empereur Hadrien) l'association s'appelle " AUGUSTUS CAESAR PRAETORIA" si ça vous intéresse sur les réseaux. Bref, la garde prétorienne a été créée par Auguste pour se prémunir des menaces internes à Rome (les sénateurs ambitieux) qui ont par exemple assassinés Jules Caesar son oncle et père adoptif, ça lui a servi de leçon pour ne pas reproduire le même schéma de confiance ... Le problème étant que cette garde répondait très bien à Auguste car c'était lui qui l'a créée ... Mais certains empereurs ensuite n'ont pas eu l'étoffe, la grandeur, la légitimité et la justesse d'Auguste, ce qui a attiré l'animosité des prétoriens à certaines époques. D'autre part, cette garde s'est développée et a grandit au fil du temps, ce qui a créé un vrai danger pour le pouvoir à Rome, mais c'est bien parce que certains empereurs n'étaient pas à la hauteur du rôle dont ils étaient investis, et se sont donc laissé avoir par la garde, parfois à raison, parfois à tort.
Russell tells a story of the first day of shooting. Ridley was sizing him up, and said “You’ve got the impending battle in the clearing ahead, but for a moment a bird appears. You watch it for a moment, then follow it with your eyes as it takes flight. You smile a little as you watch it move across the landscape, which takes you back to the reality of what’s about to happen.” Russell said the cameras started rolling and he did exactly what was said, adding his own little details to the moment. Then he said Ridley called cut, came up to him and said “You’ve and me are gonna be fucking great together.”
Another Masterpiece from Ridley Scott . Russell Crowe gives a powerhouse performance as Maximus winning a well deserved Oscar for Best actor and Joaquin Phoenix brings hiss worthy villainy as Commodus . Great reaction from Leia as usual Have an awesome weekend 😊
I've read that Proximo was originally supposed to be alive at the end and freed when Maximus defeated Commodus, but Oliver Reed died before that could be filmed, so the footage of Proximo being arrested was turned into the lead up to him being stabbed to death (shown from behind with another actor standing in for Oliver Reed as Proximo).
@@LaoWatsonSmith Remember Peter O'Toole telling David Letterman about a time he and Oliver Reed went out for an evening of drinking, and next morning, they couldn't remember what happened, but they had ended up being banned from an absolutely seedy dive bar.
The Soldiers in Purple weren't Maximus's soldiers. They were the Praetorian guards. They were loyal to the emperor. Sort of like a secret service detail
Love this movie! "What we do in life echoes in eternity" This quote gets truer and truer the older I get! At the very start of the movie Maximus overrides an order from Quintus to move their artillery back. He says the danger to their cavalry is "acceptable." This might give you the idea that Maximus is a callous commander who uses his men as pawns. He immediately turns this on its head by going off to his secret side army to lead the cavalry charge himself. He wouldn't order his men to take a risk he wouldn't take himself. That is a beautifully subtle bit of character writing to clue the audience in to what kind of man and leader the main character is. "Sometimes the frost makes the blade stick." This is my favorite historical line in cinema. Praetorian guards (The soldiers guarding the emperor, like the secret servic, were elite soldiers, but with limited field and combat experience). That word of advice he gives the soldier before killing him is advice even the lowest soldier in the ranks in that campaign wouldn't need. They would know... the frost on the blade would make it stick to the sheath, so best to at least prep it for utilization beforehand (like drawing it before intended use). He is challenging the soldier with a direct call to his lack of skill and expertise in true combat. And there are some others fun-facts, the scene in which Commodus yells "Am I not merciful?" right in his sister's face was improv at that point. Joaquin Phoenix was just scripted to say it the one time. He ad-libbed the repeat of the line as a menacing yell right in her face and that is real shock on Connie Nielsen's face. The actor playing Proximo (Oliver Reed) died during production, if you rewatch the movie with that in mind you can tell that some scenes were altered to use the remaining footage they had of him, that probably explains this scene. Also, look when they actually stab Proximo, they filmed it so you just see his outline, concealing their use of a stand-in. I´m was curious if you'd pick up on one of the melodies and structure of that battle music in Gladiator was also used in a piece for Pirates since I guess Zimmer just really liked that melody and figured it fit both epic battle and epic daredevil stuns and escapes pretty well. Good memory on the ears! Keep up the good work.
Maggots eat away decaying flesh and have anti inflammatory properties. Disgusting,yes,but using them worked.Most,if not all,ancient civilisations used them for medical purposes.They obv knew these critters worked.
yes, maggot treatment is one of the "secrets" modern medicine has rediscovered after fall of Roman Empire, other things looking sign of illness from poop, tying veins before amputation instead cauterization and usage of leeches.
Maximus' wife is married to Ridley Scott in real life. Maximus does not have a crush on Lucilla. You had it backwards. They were once lovers but there is some unresolved tension from that, also you can see Maximus holds a distrust towards her for reasons not fully explained. Possibly because she does not openly oppose Commodus.
There is no way for her to even think about openly opposing Commodus. She'd be dead by sunset. She was much too smart, she had a knack of survival to live long enough so she could see her son one day rule.
I'm enjoying Leia's pleasant reaction style. Gentle soft-spoken voice, warm smile, and doesn't wear a ton of make-up. A welcome change from the screeching harpies and their Tik Tok rants.
18:11 "These are like his men!" No, they're not. They're members of the Praetorian Guard - the emperor's personal bodyguards. I've only seen one RUclips reactor who got that. I don't know where I learned about the Praetorians, but somehow, they were pretty much common knowledge when I was young. Maybe it was all the old sword and sandal movies they used to show on TV back in the day. history and classic literature used to be incorporated (in distorted and dumbed down form) into pop culture entertainment a lot.
The personal bodyguards were the Numerus Batavorum (Germanic Guards) at the time due to the Praetorians having a bad habit of killing Emperors. "I, Claudius" does a good job portraying the differences. Most Emperors kept the Praetorians happy with bonus payments because they were useful but also kept them at an arms length away.
Jack Gleeson said he used much of this performance to model Joffrey after in Game of Thrones. Joaquin Phoenix is a phenomenal actor and played a great villain in Commodus.
Gladiator sweat sold for a lot of money as an aphrodisiac as well as gladiator urine. Ancient Romans used urine as mouthwash because they thought the ammonia in it disinfected the mouth.
It goes against the romantic legend, but gladiators usually didn't fight to the death. Sometimes prisoners were sent in to face experienced gladiators, which was tantamount to a death sentence, but actual gladiatorial contests pitted experienced vs. experienced.
I wonder if Leia's going to follow the standard reactor playbook, which starts with "This is so brutal!" and finishes with "Tear his freakin' guts out!"
40:41 That actor is from Scotland. The scars are real. His face was slashed with a broken glass in a bar fight back home in Scotland when he was younger.
Just so you know, the soldiers called "Pretorians" would not have been Maximus' men. The Pretorian guards were the Emperor's personal guards. You had to be the best of the best to be a part of the Praetorian guards.
The fact that Commodus was horny for his own sister seems astonishing and crazy to us, but the noble families of Europe were incredibly inbred. Partly that was because of the need to continue a noble lineage and also because peace treaties were often bolstered by the intermarriage of royal children from different kingdoms. When WWI broke out, the British King, the Germán Kaisar and the Czar of Russia were first cousins.
Originally, the gladiatorial contests were a religious issue but gradually became a contest of bravery and to let the people know that Rome was in control of its own destiny. This degraded to the games as shown in the film. It was said that in order to keep order you just needed to give them bread and games. Chariot racing was also part of the games and Rome took part in the Olympic Games in Greece.
Is she purposely dressed like that? I like. Its as if she's matching the aesthetic of the movie. Anyway as for Gladiator. Everything has already been said. Best of all time and will still be years from now.
Before the current Gladiator 2, Nick Cave came up with a way to bring Russel Crowe back. After dying in the first film he wakes up in Elysium only to find it in ruins. It seems that the old gods are being overtaken by Christianity. So they send Maximus out to kill Jesus. Somehow Jesus sends him back to earth in the body of a Christian and makes him immortal. At the end we see a montage of him fighting in every major war throughout history before closing on him as a general in the Pentagon.
It was even worse than that, never mind the fighting pits, the people at the time didn't bother to educate themselves, didn't have HR departments or even mental wellness and mindfulness counselors.
What i find fascinating is when maximus is asked is that the sign of your god. Will it not anger him. When removing the tattoo of the roman legion. It's bc he wouldn't know what ink or a tattoo would be from his part of the world. So to him a god would have had to put it on him. To him he's probably only familiar with what would be a brand

The Emperor could have any woman he wanted. Caligula for example tried to conceive children with all of his sisters. In those times while it was very frowned upon the imperial family would always try and keep power within their family and Dynasty. Take Cleopatra in Egypt for example the Ptolemy family were always intermarried to maintain the family lineage and concentration of power. It was of course frowned upon by the general population and by patrician families who are leaders of the Senate.
Great reaction Leia to a russel crowe classic. This is one of Ridley Scotts best movies. Terrific story and performances all round, Plus best musical score ever. Big thumbs up
nothing has changed from the roman times. People are as violent as they were before. We just love to pretend that we are more civilized. It is better for our conscience. Romans also had a special breed of war dogs. not as cute as the one in a movie. These soldiers that were about to execute Maximus were personal bodyguards of the Commodus. There is an old Roman saying: give them bread and circuses and they never revolt. and these words are very much true to this day also. give people good distraction and throw a few "bones" and they will become "blind" even when the world starts to burn around. i'm a man and yes i do think about roman empire frequently. ;p

Gladiator 2 is nothing but a rip off remake. They are just race swapping the main characters as usual. Not worth watching. On a side note, the guy with the scars on his face that played maximus's friend, actually has those scars in real life. Somebody gave him the Joker treatment in real life

His bill, which was never paid, is preserved in a decorative frame in the bar.
wow kind of sad and at the same time kind of honoring.
Never knew any of that about the pub. That's sad but very cool of the pub.
The first time I heard Proximo speak I thought he was Mark Hamill

The Coleseum was the largest building at the time. It was built using concrete, a Roman invention, but without steel supports.
The man with the scars, Tommy Flanagan. His scars are real. It's called a Glasgow smile. I believe he was attacked outside of a bar in Scotland

And the line about the frost was a dig at them because a real soldier would know that from experience in battle.

Most of the Rome Set scenes were filmed in Malta. The fake Colosseum was 52 feet high, took 7 months to build, and cost a million dollars.
