Eternity - Gladiator

► How can I reward Rome's greatest General? Let Me Go Home.
Gladiator, a truly powerful movie that will be remembered for eternity. This movie hits very personally to me, and It ventures into a lot of philosophy which I study a lot. I wanted to make this video, to tell the story of Maximus while he fights through hardship in the era of Ancient Rome.
"Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Moderation." - The Four Stoic Virtues.
All are embodied in Maximus throughout this film.
Thank you all for watching, stay strong out there, and don't give up on the fight.

“What we do in life echoes in eternity” - Maximus Decimus Meridius

[@Tridentus]

I remember being 10 years old, we'd just seen Gladiator in cinema (I'd told my parents it was the best film I'd seen up til that point), and my step-sister and I were on a car ride back from our weekly McDonalds kinda comatose/asleep from junk food. My parents were talking about Russell Crowe saying on TV how cheesy that line was and only he could have pulled it off, and how arrogant he was for saying that, but then also saying "well... it's true tbf- only he could pull that off that well". Randomly vivid memory for me. It's true, at that time Russell Crowe was like a new breed of charismatic actor.

Maximus commanded respect through his principles and actions. Commodus commanded obedience through fear to fuel his ego even though he got what he wanted briefly he was still a wanker. MASTERPIECE. Great edit BTW.

[@andrewwaldock]

Well said. Many leaders and in fact whole societies command through fear these days. And it is usually not fear of physical violence, but a palpable fearsome energy that tells people to stay in line, don't upset the apple cart, and being an outcast is worse than death. As someone that has been (and probably still is) an outcast, no it is not. As a Stoic, I see every hardship I have endured as an opportunity to learn. And what I have learned is that people may be kept in line by fear, but they yearn for people & ideas that are unmovable and unbreakable in the face of whatever storm comes. Make sure your deeds align with your principles, and if they do: nothing made by man can stop you.

Un comandante que se convirtio en esclavo, un esclavo que se convirtio en gladiador y un gladiador que reto a un emperador. Que gran historia.

[@joblakelisbon]

Easily the best film I've ever seen. There isn't even a close second.

[@TubeDude420]

Loved this movie so much I named my son after the Protagonist. Amazing the effect good cinema has on our psyche.

[@josephpena6181]

What home

[@peterkleiber]

Gladiator a excellent movie the struggles of life in Roman Empire and yet we all live in the Greco-Romano era to this day. The Greek and Roman Empires gave so much right to this day.

Your summery comment is great! Thank you, glad you liked it.

The transformation of something so gruesome into something of gentle beauty is a true masterpiece

[@nidalabu-bakr577]

When the perfect dialogue meets the perfect soundtrack! Absolute masterpiece 👏

[@brandonbentley5453]

This movie is based lovely on Cincinatus. A modest farmer called upon to become emporer to protect Rome. After he reorganized and saved Rome he simply gave up the emporership and returned to his farm.

This film captures so much of the mindset and sociological makeup of how it was during Emperor Marcus' time. I miss the old days in so many ways...

[@howardbabcom]

All that was - Rome and such - becomes dust, but we know eternity in our hearts, and it pulls each of us to something that forever remains truly beautiful.

[@floridapillay7739]

Tears of the sun , and Gladiator is one of my favourite movies of all

[@georgemetze826]

One of the best films of all time. Without a doubt. Strength and honor.

[@chasehedges6775]

A masterpiece

[@brachoradialis]

Strength and Honor.

[@caleb7799]

Why can't at least 10% of the movies that are made today be 90% as good as this one?

[@EscathonEdits]

Because then we wouldn't have the very few movies that stand out, like this one.

[@OdiGee33]

@@EscathonEdits I think that value of movie shouldnt be judged by its rarity, but by its effect on observer. Imagine a world where such a profound effect that is felt by gladiator would be cinema standart... Yes gladiator would then just be one of many, not so rare or special anymore, and would get less praise. But the world would be better place, and i believe Ridley Scotts would be happy with that, knowing that the legacy he wanted to create, is shared by many others. And Im sure, knowing human ambition and ingenuity, there would still be movies that stand out, that push the bar, little higher. Thats the spirit of movie production I would like to see.

[@Pouffly]

This movie means so much for me. It helped so much in my life and gave me a different perspective of life. I used to be angry and react almost at the ones who wronged me and time after time watching this movie knowing all the lines by heart, I learned so much. How to become a more relaxed person and endure the outcome of whatever happens to calculate my thoughts and always react while relaxed, but not only that. This movie taught so many things. Besides the great acting, the great shots and the dialogue, and OMG, the soundtrack.

[@ottiey1346]

Truly the best movie ever made. No matter how many times I watch it, I always get chills.
