4:40 its actually true, no cap. "barbarian, word derived from the Greek bárbaros, used among the early Greeks to describe all foreigners, including the Romans. The word is probably onomatopoeic in origin, the “bar bar” sound representing the perception by Greeks of languages other than their own."

What ever happened to Marcus Aurelius? The strong, silent type. That was a Roman! He wasn't in touch with his feelings. He just did what he had to do. See, what they didn't know was once they got Marcus Aurelius in touch with his feelings that they wouldn't be able to shut him up! And then it's meditations this, and meditations that, and meditations va fungool!

Hans Zimmer is the music composer. He's a genius and I don't think people understand that he's our modern Mozart. He's actually done a ton of movies we've seen as kids and growing up. Rain Man, Lion King (animated), Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, the batman trilogy, Inception, and interstellar. That's all I remember but the dude is a genius. Def recommend looking his work up on your our time. Great reaction fellas!

[@Muck006]

Comparing anyone with Mozart is ludicrous ... because Mozart started at age 6 ... died at 35 ... and he (allegedly) holds the record of "length of travel in a carriage without suspension" (I doubt this one is true, but someone calculated it and came up with hundreds of thousands of kilometers).

Now that you’ve seen this you have to watch the 1960 Spartacus. See if Chrissie was right or not. Kidding aside it’s actually still entertaining even today and perfectly captures a unique moment in Hollywood, when they were obsessed with grand scale historical epics.

[@peterengelen2794]

Talkin' 'bout watching a mini-series, y'all gotta watch the Australian cult series ''Mr. Inbetween''! It's right up your alley, an extremely violent and very funny crime show. One of the best series ever made (only 3 seasons and the episodes are around 25 minutes each, some longer).

Russell Crowe was in The Insider. Inside Man is a Spike Lee joint with Denzel Washington, Chiwetel Edjiofor, and Clive Owen. It's a *great* movie 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I am impressed by the one who's watching for the first time. You're VERY perceptive n pick up on things most don't on their first viewing! It is very refreshing!

[@markmccollough1017]

This was the best Russell Crowe movie but a close second in my opinion is Cinderella Man. Great true story about a depression era boxer. Basically depression Rocky but true. Crowe was also great in American Gangster though definitely second fiddle to Denzel Washington.

[@xdguy2569]

[@tim12970]

Another RC movie that in my opinion doesn't receive the love it should is Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. One of my personal RC movies. Check it out!

[@sert87]

That IS the origin of the word "barbarian". It's a very common thing. For example Slavs called the Germanic people (and still call the Germans) "nemtsi", which means "mutes", cause they spoke a different language.

[@nickelmouse451]

Joaquin Phoenix is great in You Were Never Really There - really worth a watch

[@mistakenot...4012]

If this was your introduction to Russel Crowe I have to suggest mine; Romper Stomper. Dark and gritty but a great film.

[@gptd7178]

I don't know if that intro foreshadowing was meant to hint towards Spartacus or Rome but either way I'm here for it

[@unc54]

Marcus Aurelius passing over Commodus for Maximus would actually have been the norm in Ancient Rome. It was customary for the Emperor to "adopt" a very competent politician/general and groom them to be emperor. In fact in actual history, Commodus was the first biological son to succeed his father as emperor which created a lot of controversy and is seen as the end of the Roman Golden Age. Also in real life Commodus did fight as a gladiator and to the surprise of no one was undefeated.

[@antondzajajurca7797]

Heavy metal is music. Metal is way of life. 1970-Infinity Practically same as Hip-Hop :D

[@jarekb8622]

25:13 Y’all cut out one of my favorite lines from the movie, makes me laugh every time 😂 “I did not say I knew him! I said he touched me on the shoulder once!” After Maximus laughs when Proximo tells him that Marcus Aurelius was the emperor that freed him from being a slave in the fighting arenas Hope Brallic got a good laugh out of that one!

[@angelahelper600]

[@oldmanbacala5571]

Ralph Cifaretto aproves.

[@technofilejr3401]

27:23 It’s already been stated that in Gladiator II, an adult Lucius finds out that Maximus is actually his father. If you remember in that earlier conversation with Lucilla (Commodus sister) that her son and Maximus’s son were both the same age. So Maximus and her had a tryst on the down low.

The barbarian thing is actually true. The Roman joke was it sounded like "barbarbar", hence they called them "barbarus".

@22:50 "That's wild. How you can take that whole segment right there, and apply it to today." Indeed. Let's all hope Commodus doesn't get elected in four days....

[@Muck006]

8:10 "These fools are completely outclassed" ... and yet it is "these fools" (germans) who will END THE ROMAN EMPIRE. Look up Arminius / Hermannsschlacht / battle of the Teutoburg forest ... Rome could NOT RECOVER after losing 3 entire legions and a bunch of support troops, which made them weak against attacks from the outside or inside.

[@agedp8386]

The likelihood of Juba returning home would not have been zero at all--although slavery was widespread in Rome then, it simply was not seen through the same racial lens as here. New slaves were drawn from conquered peoples on the edge of the empire, criminals allowed to live, and the down and out. Juba was now under legal protection as free, and could have argued his case to any official empire, and what trader would dare take him mano a mano anyway? As far as knowing how to get home, come on, Rome to Carthage was like NYC to Philly, one boat ride away. The ancient world lacked travel speed we're used to, but people knew how to get around.
