VIDEO NOTE: 1. Accidentally said Mathieson filmed Saving Private Ryan. That was actually Janusz Kaminski, just a small error in that part of the script I didn't catch. That small section should corrected in the video here soon. 2. I got tunnel vision with the release dates being the same as the release date for gladiator 2. Except it was the home movie release date. Gladiator was released in May 2000. My bad! As always, thanks for letting us know if we missed on any details so we can correct them!

It's basically the chaotic group project that somehow ended up with the highest grade. Let this be an example of you can create something truly awesome by improvising without a plan. Although it’s usually more misses than hits. Ridley seems to have caught lightning in a bottle with this and Alien 1979, while we know how the rest turned out 😂

[@FrameVoyager]

Yeah, I don't think this is necessarily something anyone should emulate 😅 Honestly amazing they even got it done and then to win all the Oscars for it is crazy 😅

[@FrameVoyager]

Yes... yes I did the 45-degree shutter angle gladiator trick for the title sequences for the scrolls 😅

You the goat! Best informative KZbin channel out there on some of my favorite movies and their production!

[@FrameVoyager]

Appreciate that!

[@cinesheikh]

17:49 my guy Ridley casually smoking a cigar while directing a whole ass battle sequence LOL

[@RaulMéndez-s9n]

I just wanted to tell you that this is one of the best cinema related content that I have ever seen on KZbin. Keep going man!!!👌

[@FrameVoyager]

Appreciate it! 😅😅😅

[@RaymLovesEggs]

This is why I respect (and would work) with The Coen Brothers. Everything is planned out to an F'ing T before filming, right down to the shots. Follow what we agreed on. No discussion on the set. Streamlined 100%.

[@FrameVoyager]

Honestly, I don't think there are a lot of directors that could pull off something like Gladiator. And even the good ones, I doubt, would have a high percentage success rate doing it this way lmao.

[@RaymLovesEggs]

@@FrameVoyager I'm interested. Who could; possibly?

[@tahuaroa]

where has this channel been all my life? this is really well done bro

[@FrameVoyager]

Where the hell have you been? 😅 Appreciate it! Welcome to the channel

[@m.hreels9822]

I’ve heard many stories about the production on this movie being chaos! 😅

[@FrameVoyager]

It's honestly a miracle they finished it haha

[@susanscott917]

No mention anywhere of the Legendary Oliver Reed... Who walked off with every scene he was in and Russell crowe disappeared into the background. '' 'The line You sold me a QUEER giraffe is iconic... A fitting last film for the Amazing Reed..

[@EXTREME_PATATOR]

John Mathieson said they shot it at ASA 200. That's quite an achievement !

[@lukebaxter3252]

Considering how chaotic the production was, the fact that it became beloved when it came out and won Best Picture at the Oscars is something to marvel at.

[@toolizcool]

John Mathieson was the DP on Saving Private Ryan? Not Janusz Kaminski?

[@FrameVoyager]

Hmmm... Yeah looking at that part now. I think we missed a section In our script. It was supposed to mention the Spielberg connection to gladiator and his long time cinematographer Janusz influence on it. Thanks for catching that, I'll cut this section out 😅

[@edvaira6891]

20:00…GLADIATOR was Released in Mid-May, 2000…NOT IN NOVEMBER!…Its HOME VIDEO release was on November 21st

[@FrameVoyager]

You're right haha. I think I may have been fixated on the November release date when writing on this because it's the same as the release date for this one. My bad 😂

[@FrameVoyager]

Are you excited about the new Gladiator film?

[@RedTail1-1]

Eh...

[@mutantsupremacies]

this was my introduction to joaquin phoenix. he was perfectly cast

[@FrameVoyager]

@@mutantsupremacies Ridley Scott if nothing else has a real talent for picking out relatively unknown actors and making them stars

[@eeweka1]

I hated him for years 😅

[@FrameVoyager]

@@eeweka1 He's one of those actors I'm not sure you ever really get a handle on what you think about him haha

[@Jawn..]

Strength and honor. And weird British accents in Rome.

[@FrameVoyager]

Well I mean they did try to make Maximus a time traveler haha

[@noah.w.anderson]

wild stuff

[@chris_jorge]

Does anyone know how the cinematographer would have metered the night battle scene with the fire?

[@roguedoolan]

Matheison shot Private Ryan...huh??

[@FrameVoyager]

😂 yeah fixing that one now. Mistake I didn't catch in the script I'm afraid. Definitely not Mathieson lol

[@joejoe2658]

2.7 6, not seventy six. great channel tho.

[@FrameVoyager]

@@joejoe2658 what was 2.7 6?

[@rogerazzopardi6822]

CHAOTIC?! I no bother watching this. What chaotic???!!!!

[@FrameVoyager]

@@rogerazzopardi6822 the production of it? They didn't even have the script fully made when they started filming 😅 it's probably one of the most chaotic productions that somehow became a best picture winner. Watch the video lmao

[@RedTail1-1]

Only comment on the channel and it's garbage English...
