GLADIATOR (2000) MOVIE REACTION! - FIRST TIME WATCH

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

The actor who played Proximus (the Gladiator trainer) was Oliver Reed. He was an extraordinary british actor, with a very interesting, fascinating and atypical life. He also was known for his alcoholism, having some scandals on TV and cinema as a consequence of this. During the filming of Gladiator in 1999, he sadly passed away. He had been sober for months, but one night (during a break from filming the movie) in an Irish pub in Malta (after a bet), he drank three bottles of Jamaican rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous double whiskeys and challenged five young English sailors of the Royal Navy to arm-wrestling at The Pub bar (which after this incident was called Ollie's Last Pub). His bill, which was never paid, is preserved in a decorative frame in the bar.

He was great in Musical Oliver.

Marcus Ulpius Traianus and Publius Aelius Hadrianus (both from Hispania, actual Spain), were the best and greatest emperors of the Roman Empire. Marcus Aurelius was a great one, probably the most cultured and profound, having his written testimonies as reliable proof.

they are italians but born in Spain. They are not hispanic….their parents were italians. Only Roman Italy has full citizenship before 212 ad with Caracalla Edict.

32:39 The whole thing with the handful of dirt is because he’s a farmer by trade and the soil reminds him of home.

Marcus Aurelius was played by the first Dumbledore, yes (Richard Harris). Harris appeared in the first two HP films, but later on died. Therefore, Michael Gambon continued playing Dumbledore in the rest of HP saga. Also, Richard Harris, had many stories of carousing and escapades with Peter O´Toole (and also an incident with the aforementioned Oliver Reed)

[@waterbeauty85]

I remember Peter O'Toole telling a story about when he and Richard Harris were in a play together. There was a pub across the street from the theater, so during a long part in the play when their characters weren't of stage, they would pop across the street to down a few pints then run back to the theater in time for their cue to go back on stage. One time, they lingered a little too long at the pub and missed their cue. After an awkward delay that brought the play grinding to a halt, Richard Harris came frantically running out onto the stage, tripped and slid across to the edge of the stage bringing him face to face with the audience. A woman in the front row saw his inebriated state and exclaimed "My God! Richard Harris is drunk!" and Harris replied "You think I'm drunk? Wait till you see O'Toole!" They were great actors, but their stories of carousing were my favorite part of seeing them on talk shows.

It's so cute that neither of you considered cutting off the dead man's hand.

[@tomaskennedy]

6:26 Correct. He’s an Irish actor named Richard Harris and he was Dumbledore in Harry Potter.

[@anthonyguadagnino2681]

The part about win the crowd isn’t about him not dying it’s about him not killing everyone so quickly. The crowd wants a show. Not for the fight to be over in 30 seconds

[@bradbutcher8762]

Awesome reaction. I only watch these movies in reactions anymore 😊 Try Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. You'll get many hits.

[@Wae2Reel]

[@Aranwulf]

Hey guys. First of all, I want to say that you guys seem like really lovely awesome people. I was glad to stumble on your reaction today. This is a special movie to me. I saw it with my dad in theaters. One of the all time greats.

[@Wae2Reel]

Thank you for the kind words! And what a wonderful core memory you have

[@lovidodd21]

The sniffing of dirt reminds him of home and why he’s fighting, he is a farmer after all…at least that’s what I heard lol

[@Wae2Reel]

I can see this being right

[@bradbutcher8762]

"Dirt washes away easier than blood"...i believe it is a gesture toward his principles as well.

[@anthonyguadagnino2681]

The dirt is for grip and because he’s a farmer and knows the soil

[@oDv-22]

What a great reaction, simple and honest. !!!

[@Wae2Reel]

Thank you! Its a great movie!

[@soundbreak7]

Joaquin is one of the best actors of this generation , incredible performance

[@Wae2Reel]

He was great in this!

[@anthonyguadagnino2681]

The army was loyal to Maximus. The emperor’s guards were loyal to the emperor. The praetorians were the ones who killed Maximus’s family

[@Wae2Reel]

Ohh thanks for clarifying for us!

[@vman927]

Hello, if you don’t mind, can you do a movie reaction on a movie called, 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Adventure/Drama (1992). It stars Gérard Depardieu, Siqourney Weaver, Armand Assante. It portrays a version of the travels to the New World by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and the effect this had on indigenous peoples. Directed by Ridley Scott. Thank you, Chris.
