… commander of the armies of the north, general of the Felix legions, 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.” This just goes so hard, has to be one of the greatest lines in movie history. I just randomly think about this scene, these words. The look on Commodus face is priceless. ----------------------------------------------- What's the sense in working hard if you never get to play? | ||

On my command unleash Hell! “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back." Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Sidebar, but LaLaLand Records just released the complete Gladiator score and alternates at the beginning of the month. https://lalalandrecords.com/gl...ed-edition-3-cd-set/ La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Geffen Records proudly present GLADIATOR: 25th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION (3-CD SET), a deluxe remastered and expanded re-issue of renowned composer Hans Zimmer (THELMA & LOUISE, BLACK HAWK DOWN) and acclaimed vocalist/composer Lisa Gerrard’s original motion picture score to the 2000 Best Picture GLADIATOR, starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix and Connie Nielsen, and directed by Ridley Scott. This definitive limited edition release marks the 25th Anniversary of the landmark film and its iconic, Oscar-Nominated score. Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard’s original score is the beating heart of GLADIATOR. Strikingly modern, yet organically evocative of the film’s Ancient Rome setting, the score expertly weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of thundering action and intimate character drama, resulting in an exhilarating and thematic musical odyssey. This special, 3-disc presentation fully illustrates the masterwork’s brilliance, sounding better than ever and expanded with never-before-released music. Produced by Stéphane Humez and edited and mastered by Maxime Marion from studio vault materials and composer archives, under supervision of Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, this deluxe re-issue showcases the Score Presentation, as written for the film by the composers, across Disc One and Disc Two. Disc Three features The GLADIATOR Sketchbook, showcasing exclusive, never before released sketches from Hans Zimmer’s archives, as well as Additional Music tracks, including alternate cues and more! There is no spoken dialogue in this presentation. Limited to 3500 units, the packaging features rousing art design by Dan Goldwasser and includes a 32 page booklet that contains exclusive liner notes by writer Kaya Savas, featuring new in-depth interviews with composers Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard. “Are we not entertained!!!” | |||

And Russell Crowe HATED this whole part of the script and thought it wasn't good and lobbied to have it changed or removed!
When you think of Gladiator, one of the very best movies of the 2000s, there’s a good chance one scene comes to mind first—Maximus Decimus Meridius, standing battered but defiant in the Colosseum, declaring his now-legendary speech: “I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.” It’s one of the most powerful moments in Ridley Scott’s historical epic. But believe it or not, Russell Crowe nearly torpedoed the line because he thought it was, in his words, “shit.” | |||

If you haven't already, check out the extended Director's Cut of Gladiator. Unlike a number of other Ridley Scott Director's Cuts it doesn't necessarily "fix" any problems, mainly because there wasn't much to fix from the theatrical cut. It just adds a little bit more to the story, especially in further exploring the Emperor's brutality/depravity and his messy relationship with his sister. | |||

I like the scene that follows where he was won over all the other gladiators. | |||
