AVoiceOfOpinion93 That’s actually a really, really scary quote when taken out of context. Nice to get you pumped up for a battle but otherwise it’s just terrifying.
Really? It ows too much to Gustav Holst's "Mars", from the suite The Planets, and a little bit to Bernard Herrman's North by Norwest. And it is too repetitive.
@@Claudg2008 The score is super derivative, I agree....but effective it is also, therefore functions well in the context of the film... and honestly I think that goes for most Zimmer scores in general, with exceptions for his early 90s material
I remember when they played this at Madison Square Garden when Patrick Ewings number was retired. The crowd exploded. It was an epic moment. Hans Zimmer is a musical genius.
08:30 The sentimental part of the song They say a picture is worth a thousand words This ending segment of the song is worth a million Strength and Honor
For years I have listened, and it always get me how the music captures the aspects of ancient battle so well. The initial pumped up and then realisation of what is to come, tenseness of the unknown leading to organised assaults; and then the full chaos of the battlefield, finally the calmness after the storm of battle. This will have to be one of Hans Zimmer's best works of art.

I still remember when I first saw this in ‘99 at Cinema Patria in Bucharest, I was 12 years old and I went to see it alone because I was bored on a sunday afternoon. It was an experience that marked not only my childhood but my life. I had never seen a movie so damn powerful, although I had seen already lots of the “historical” blockbusters, like The last of the Mohicans, Braveheart, etc. but this was on another level. It gave me serious goose bumps exactly from the start with text on a dark screen and haunting music “at the height of it’s power the Roman Empire was vast bla bla, a quarter of the world’s population lived and died under the rule of the Caesars” at that point I was already in shock to find out there used to be another world before our world and that world was Rome. and then everything was spectacular, music, the scenery, the costumes, the .. the ..... the ......it’s just a movie that changed my view of the world and of life.
It explains a lot of romanian education when you are 12 years old and still don't know Rome. The irony is off the charts, because romanians go great lengths trying to convince the world they're descendants of romans, hence their name.
@@andrasziegenham6766 i knew about Rome, i just wasn't versed in ancient history. But yeah the education in Romania sucks ass. Most of the kids have no idea what happened in 1918 but luckily you Hungarians know all about it
Actually "Roma victor" in the movie, despite the correct latin expression for "Rome victorious" being actually "Roma victrix" . "Roma victa" actually means "Rome conquered"
From 7:00 it's like a mix of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' and Holt's 'Mars' from the Planets Suite. Great Classical pieces from early 20th Century. So good to see so many people these days liking classical music, which is what there epic movie soundtracks are. :-)
The Holst Foundation actually sued over the similarity. www.playbill.com/article/holst-foundation-sues-film-composer-for-copyright-infringement Might be classical, but seemingly not classical enough to evade the forever-and-ever copyright regime that currently holds (or at least not enough for the lawyers to think think a lawsuit had no chance of success). I don't know what happened to the lawsuit and am too lazy to check right now.
@@SuuSinator You are absolutely right. No idea why I put time in. The most blatant is around 5:25 before Jack Sparrow briefly appears, then back to Mars. :-D
@@Claudg2008well if Claudg2008 says it’s mediocre then it must be mediocre. I mean who else would know more about music than a dude in the RUclips comments? Nobody except Claudg2008 should score movies from now on.
Christian charles I agree. I watched Exodus: Gods and kings the other day and it seemed pretty damn close but Ridley needs to get back to making movies like this again.
N7 AllianceEarth , Yeah. You know that film kinda sparked a question in me. What if the story of Moses freeing the jews was not as easy as the story says it to be? I mean fighting your way through sounds a bit more realistic right?
Christian charles That's my thoughts exactly. I'm not a big believer in the bible, however I love the stories that come out of it. Moses was a tyrant and so was Jesus - they both defied an empire. Blood would have had to have been spilled at some point and I believe either of them wouldn't have been far from the blood shed, if not wielding the weapon. What I loved about Exodus was the portrayal of "god". He was portyed as a vengeful little child that refused to comprehend the suffering the Hewbrews were going through when caused by his own actions (the plagues). I agree that it sped the process of the release of slaves by a generation, but if God could wait 400 years then surely he could wait a few more for Moses to do his thing. I don't know if more lives would have been saved, but god was made out to be incredibly hasty and vengeful. A lot of people would give Ridley a lot of hate for that but personaly he hit the nail on the head. God is not all loving and he can become an ugly force of nature, sometimes even cruel. Ridley visioned the movie almost perfectly and interpreted the events like a true optimistic and open minded director.
N7 AllianceEarth , What I don't get why Religious movies always get hit with debate innacuracies with the bible. I don't put that much faith in highschool history text books or the bible because you gotta admit it's been changed over time, it's been written by many accounts of people. Plus it's a movie afterall. What's wrong with a little fiction. I heard Aronofsky added some monsters in Noah. What does it matter if this and that didn't happen? It was thousands of years ago, theirs no scientific evidence it happened, plus monsters or no monsters, they're gonna DIE.
8:40 I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. The sad scenes are the ones I remember the most for some reason. This scene hits me and the slow-mo just does it for me. I also love that at the end of the movie, they play the same song but with a hint of happiness, because (SPOILER ALERT) Maximus gets to see his family again. Hanz Zimmer is a Pure Genius and a legendary composer.
This is the part that gets me most. When time slows down and you see all the uselessness, all those people needlessly butchering each other for the Roman empire to swallow every last bit of land coming in its way, waging war on all fronts...such a powerful piece of music...
I was listening to this song on my headphones in an empty building, leaning against a metal rail. As the temp began to pick up, I began tapping my empty metal coffee cup against the rail. At first gently, then more quickly and forcefully as the song picked up even more. By the crescendo of the song, you could hear the sound of metal on metal banging reverberate throughout the whole building, like the banging of an epic war drum in the midst of a great battle. In that moment, nothing separated me from the elapsing of over 1500 years of history, the battle in the German forests became as real and present as if I were standing before you.
4 years later and is still need a long version of the music at 8:40 mark. How the Fuck is there not a longer version of this intensely emotional piece....fuck I can listen to this for hours and feel every note hit.
my feelings exactly... this part of the tracks reminds me of war in general and all the fallen men and women who fought for our freedom but saw and felt all the fear, pain and agony :( so sad
The love how subtly the music reflects the mood of the battle. It reflects the pre-battle tension before the battle especially around 1:55 , getting a release and then going back into tension again. At 6:00 we think we have got the cathartic release but as the struggle of battle is ongoing, the tension is back in the music; the key difference being that there is a greater flourish. Simply magnificent.
Wie ich den Soundtrack liebe! Über den Film wollen wir erst garnicht drüber reden, einfach nur unglaublich und episch. Für mich einer der Besten epischen Film überhaupt, gefolgt von King Arthur, Troja, Breavheart und 300. ♥♥
Always enjoyed this soundtrack, truly epic. Every time I hear this track, I feel like a ten year old witnessing the 'double sword decapitation' scene for the first time, back when I could boast about seeing an R rated film hahaha.
I heard this song on Spotify and thought my app was glitching or something. I thought “Surly this can’t be from Gladiator. The title must be incorrect. This is has to be from POTC.” I couldn’t let this go. I just had to go on RUclips and set my mind at ease. Shocked to find that it actually is from Gladiator😯Amazing! Haven’t seen this movie for a long time. Forgot this amazing piece was part of the movie. Real Glad to see where Hans got his idea for the POTC soundtrack. His own creation. Respect.
Absolutely. Such simple statements, yet "stay with me" is my favorite line of the film. The music, setting, Crowe, even capturing the knowledge in his dog's eyes - pure brilliance to me.
How can you Not be moved by this soundtrack, taken in with the Epic scenes, especially the ‘Battle’ was one of my first DVD’s Cannot understand the ‘people’ that pick holes in such a fantastic film, one of the best since Hollywood’s Ben Her, think some people need To get out more.😀
De arrepiar! Como gostaria de ouvir essa peça sendo tocada por uma orquestra numa grande sala de concertos musicais. Amo a música de Hans Zimmer e a voz marcante da Lisa Gerrard abrilhantou ainda mais essa trilha sonora de Gladiador.
One thing I like to think in this song, is how the victory theme for the movie starts playing at the beginning of the battle reflects a lot of the Roman tactics of winning the battle before it starts. Ik this probably isn't the intended purpose of the music being like this but I like to imagine it is
6:08 the exact moment that gives me chills all over my body every time I listen to it. this kind of passage that makes you want to start charging, no matter what is in front!
Amazing track! Full of excitement, just like the scene it was written for. I would've loved to have played this one with the band I was in from age 12-20 (we often played orchestral selections like classics and movie soundtracks). Now that band no longer exists. This track would've been great to play!
I love the build-up in this, you can hear the hints of the best part before the best part comes. Just like the battle, it builds up and it's worth the wait.
I’m definitely gonna be playing this song during Skyrim’s Civil War Questline specifically during the battle of Windhelm and maybe during the battle of Whiterun too before Windhelm! 😃😀
+Memestreamer Inc. hm, Pirates of Caribbean was after Gladiator; also, the original ost was composed by Klaus Badelt, under the supervision and direct influence of Zimmer.
+Memestreamer Inc. It's true, Hans Zimmer wasn't allowed to work on any other movies while doing Gladiator so he made all the themes in Pirates of the Caribbean in one night and had Klaus Badelt compose them. :D
Best part 8:50....when battle is over.....you realise what was lost...and the men that have died....for what ...even Marcus Aurelius knew it wasn't worth it.
'My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the North. Loyal servant to THE TRUE EMPEROR, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE, in this life or the next.'
For twenty-years, this is the opening theme song for Dennis Prager's talk national talk radio program... and it's not a joke. What a CHAMPION, to introduce his show with such a triumphant theme! Just like Rush introduced his radio show for over thirty years with Chrissy Hynde's great song "Ohio" ... absolutely iconic and more than remarkable. MUSIC & SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRAS & COMPOSERS are phenomenal!
Epic, yet some years and don’t think ‘Hollywood ‘ will ever be able to come up a better script. The sound scores are sublime to go with film, Hans Zimmer ha well, ‘The Battle’ say no more.
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music easily matches the fight that is going on, you can see Zimmer put his whole heart into this, he is still one of the best composers of the music, and what reflects a great movie is a song in it, you can only determine what the best movie is by the music in it, so this is easily the best there is, the music is perfection, it makes you envision the whole battle scene before you, the good and the bad, Bellissimo Hans Zimmer, brava
Both Pirates of the Caribbean AND Gladiator were scored by Hans Zimmer. However, the well-known Pirates theme was composed by Klaus Badelt. The two themes are similar both in style and instrumentation, but upon closer inspection share very little.
This and inception OST rank as two of the best soundtracks in movie history, I've seen the film about 4 times, listened to the soundtrack a good couple of hundred....
Someone complains about it, but few know that Hanz Zimmer made part from 05:50 to 06:20 such short because if he would make it longer, many people would die from pure bliss.
Hans Zimmer stands alongside Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Miklos Rozsa, and Dmitri Tiomkin, and Bernard Herrmann, and Bill Conti, and John Williams, and Howard Shore, and James Horner, and Danny Elfman, and Junkie XL, and James Newton Howard, and Sir Patrick Doyle as a legendary composer.
I know right! I get goosebumps every time I hear that ending part. It is just so sad. The sound, the music, and thae acting mesh perfectly which just makes a sad sequence. Also, the use of slow-mo added a fine touch.
5:50 to 6:20 How? How does a 30 second piece of music manage to be the single most epic thing I've ever heard? And where can I find a longer version? :D
It was composed by the same guy, even the first PotC movie score was signed by Klaus Badelt, the theme he's a pirate was composed by Hans Zimmer, composer of Gladiator's score
Minor correction: "If you find yourself alone...riding in green fields with the sun on your face...do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"

I put as much effort into life as my mans Hans did with this track. He didn't have to go so savage, but he did.
You have to go through the battle to understand how sweet the end of the song is. Such is life I guess. Great piece of music.
A great soundtrack from a great movie. A movie that takes place in Roman times and doesn’t portray the Romans as terrible people.
The greatness of this song is in its composition - it basically tells the Roman history in 10 minutes...
8:40 beautiful great theme
Greattings from Chile
I love the part from 0:00 - 1:00
This is so epic!
The first minute is - to me - the most glorious part. It has something absolutely majestic and also a bit melancholic somehow.
How can you Not be moved by this soundtrack, taken in with the Epic scenes, especially the ‘Battle’ was one of my first DVD’s
Cannot understand the ‘people’ that pick holes in such a fantastic film, one of the best since Hollywood’s Ben Her, think some people need
To get out more.😀
This is the greatest epic score I've ever heard. Thank you, Hans Zimmer for your amazing music :)
The whole piece is fantastic! but 8:40 onwards is my favourite part.
"Hold the line!"
"Loose...loose..loose..loose..reload!" lol..Even after 14 years I can still remember some of the dialogue.
Me too! And I get called "crazy" for that lol. They just cannot understand Gladiator.
"People should know when they're conquered"
Billy Red "Would you, Billy? Would I?"
Are you not entertained !?... Are You Not Entertained ...is this not why you are here !!?
*drops sword and spits on the ground* epic scene
Oroku Saki Column;)
5:25 “Hold the line” starts,
Best part!!! Epic battle!!!
I vote for this movie as the best picture and best music of all times.
Start my day with this, everyday!
El primer minuto de esta obra captura El Espíritu perfectamente: honorable, sacrificado, imparcial, sereno...
Eres genial,hermano
De arrepiar! Como gostaria de ouvir essa peça sendo tocada por uma orquestra numa grande sala de concertos musicais. Amo a música de Hans Zimmer e a voz marcante da Lisa Gerrard abrilhantou ainda mais essa trilha sonora de Gladiador.
Concordo com tudo o q vc disse!
Pulling victory from the screaming gullet of defeat, winning an impossible battle.
Totally inspirational scene to this day!
One thing I like to think in this song, is how the victory theme for the movie starts playing at the beginning of the battle reflects a lot of the Roman tactics of winning the battle before it starts. Ik this probably isn't the intended purpose of the music being like this but I like to imagine it is
The best soundtrack, best actors , deserve an oscar ,of course .
6:08 the exact moment that gives me chills all over my body every time I listen to it. this kind of passage that makes you want to start charging, no matter what is in front!
Amazing track! Full of excitement, just like the scene it was written for. I would've loved to have played this one with the band I was in from age 12-20 (we often played orchestral selections like classics and movie soundtracks). Now that band no longer exists. This track would've been great to play!
Like John Williams, they know how to pump people up.
From 8:40 onwards I absolutely love! It sounds like another piece
I love the build-up in this, you can hear the hints of the best part before the best part comes. Just like the battle, it builds up and it's worth the wait.
I’m definitely gonna be playing this song during Skyrim’s Civil War Questline specifically during the battle of Windhelm and maybe during the battle of Whiterun too before Windhelm!
😃😀
i think this movie is why i always play an imperial.
@@jeffreyknickman5559 yeah.
Listening to this whilst playing the Rome mod for Mount & Blade 2 has to be one of the best gaming experiences I've had! 😆
The first time I was in Rome, as soon as I saw the Colosseum, she was in my head ...🎵🎵
5:50 #Pirates of the Colosseum
+Memestreamer Inc. Totally. I made that joke at orchestra practice last night - amusement ensued. :)
+Memestreamer Inc. hm, Pirates of Caribbean was after Gladiator; also, the original ost was composed by Klaus Badelt, under the supervision and direct influence of Zimmer.
+Memestreamer Inc. It's true, Hans Zimmer wasn't allowed to work on any other movies while doing Gladiator so he made all the themes in Pirates of the Caribbean in one night and had Klaus Badelt compose them. :D
+thejorkid That doesnt make sense
compose and make is the same thing?
+Dizzy Blu My bad, I meant Klaus Badelt conducted it.
Best part 8:50....when battle is over.....you realise what was lost...and the men that have died....for what ...even Marcus Aurelius knew it wasn't worth it.
"for the glory of the empire":)...you are right.
It was worth it, because of Pax Romana.
The barbaric Germs needed to curbstomped to prevent them from raiding civilized Roman settlements. Pax Romana was absolutely necessary.
@@Sweetness71775 funny, coming from a celt
not to mention it reminds us of war in general being a tragic thing :(
'My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the North. Loyal servant to THE TRUE EMPEROR, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE, in this life or the next.'
After Italy won Euro 2020 ,
"Remember, brothers; what we do in life, echoes in eternity."
For twenty-years, this is the opening theme song for Dennis Prager's talk national talk radio program... and it's not a joke. What a CHAMPION, to introduce his show with such a triumphant theme! Just like Rush introduced his radio show for over thirty years with Chrissy Hynde's great song "Ohio" ...
absolutely iconic and more than remarkable.
MUSIC & SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRAS & COMPOSERS are phenomenal!
Epic, yet some years and don’t think ‘Hollywood ‘ will ever be able to come up a better script. The sound scores are sublime to go with film,
Hans Zimmer ha well, ‘The Battle’ say no more.
THIS SOUNDTRACK IS BEST OF THE BEST,SIMPLY JUST A MASTERPIECE
Anyone listening to this in 2019?
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music easily matches the fight that is going on, you can see Zimmer put his whole heart into this, he is still one of the best composers of the music, and what reflects a great movie is a song in it, you can only determine what the best movie is by the music in it, so this is easily the best there is, the music is perfection, it makes you envision the whole battle scene before you, the good and the bad, Bellissimo Hans Zimmer, brava
Both Pirates of the Caribbean AND Gladiator were scored by Hans Zimmer.
However, the well-known Pirates theme was composed by Klaus Badelt.
The two themes are similar both in style and instrumentation, but upon closer inspection share very little.
Force anthem
Actually they have the same note.And that track was used In the Tunnels in The Rock😂
And Zimmer had issues with rights on music but part of the ost he composed by himself
Yup, the composer of the first pirates movie used Hans score and tweaked it to make it sound like a pirate's theme. Brilliant on his part.
I listen to the first 30 seconds on repeat because it strengthens me and reminds me to be a man even tho I feel like shit currently hahah
"Ce que nous faisons dans la vie résonne pour l'éternité", Général Maximus Decimus.
Still one of my favorite soundtracks to listen to!!
This and inception OST rank as two of the best soundtracks in movie history, I've seen the film about 4 times, listened to the soundtrack a good couple of hundred....
Someone complains about it, but few know that Hanz Zimmer made part from 05:50 to 06:20 such short because if he would make it longer, many people would die from pure bliss.
"Kami arema, salam satu jiwa.. Di Indonesia kan selalu ada. Selalu bersama untuk kemenangan hoii.. Kami arema"
This movie is a masterpiece :)
Exactly.
Hans Zimmer stands alongside Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Miklos Rozsa, and Dmitri Tiomkin, and Bernard Herrmann, and Bill Conti, and John Williams, and Howard Shore, and James Horner, and Danny Elfman, and Junkie XL, and James Newton Howard, and Sir Patrick Doyle as a legendary composer.

The best movie I saw in my life, unsurpassed
The ending part is just majestic
I know right! I get goosebumps every time I hear that ending part. It is just so sad. The sound, the music, and thae acting mesh perfectly which just makes a sad sequence. Also, the use of slow-mo added a fine touch.
war is not noble, its tragic
Such great building energy! Great music to work out to.
5:50 to 6:20
How? How does a 30 second piece of music manage to be the single most epic thing I've ever heard? And where can I find a longer version? :D
listen to the pirates of the caribbean theme for a longer version
You want a longer version? Listen to Mars, bringer of war, Hans got his music ideas from that piece, they're both very similar
KaijuKing42 check out Broken Arrow - Mine Shaft and Hammerhead also by Hans Zimmer.
@@IraBennett926 Exactly. Fantastic piece of music. In fact, the whole Holst-Planets is incredible.
Simple answer : Hans Zimmer.
Anything else ?
It was composed by the same guy, even the first PotC movie score was signed by Klaus Badelt, the theme he's a pirate was composed by Hans Zimmer, composer of Gladiator's score
