[@AlpenSkyWatcher]

I thought generals, if they step into Rome, symbolically loses his military authority and is instead treated as a private citizen. If he goes outside the boundaries of Rome again, he is treated as a general again.

[@raygan1221]

Well, actually, there's another explanation here. According to the rules of the gladiator battle: gladiator is a battle only for the lowest kind of people: slaves, POW's, criminals. If a royal blood, high ranking soldier, soldier, and even the emperor himself decided to take participation, he will be considered stripped of his position until the fight is over. So, in this case, Commodus, maybe forgetting the rule or expecting special treatment like always happens when a royal blood fights in a gladiator battle, was technically not an emperor and no more than a slave or criminal.

This scene doesn’t do much more for explaining why Quintus doesn’t help Commodus in the end. It actually hampers flow. Maximus’s gravitas and purity were actively compared to Commodus’s villainy and weakness and examined by Quintus over the course of the story, who, seeing an opportunity to end what would’ve been a lifelong reign of terror, was also able to make amends for betraying Maximus at the beginning of the movie. Commodus’s stabbing of Maximus prior to the final fight was the final straw for Quintus. He knew Maximus had the love of the people and had he survived, would have been able to excuse him of disobeying Emperor Commodus for the sake of the greater good.

At the same time giving him a guilty trip by making sure he knew that those men were dying in his place. Testing fate standing in between the two men he tests his loyalty with an opportunity to kill him by ordering the troops to fire on him as well.Knowing that Maximus was still alive was tatamount to seeking to kill the Emperor.

The drama of this scene is diminished somewhat by the fact that Quintus orders the archers to "fire" when he should have said "loose" or "shoot". It stands out and takes me out of the movie a bit. Even before I looked up the proper term, "fire" just felt wrong. This is especially surprising because they correctly use "loose" for the archers and catapults in the opening battle scene.

[@oliverparikian9536]

thing is that in real life they would have been saying it in latin so technically there is no correct english way to say it. I agree that it stands out a bit though

[@leonardotanca643]

And also probably they didn't execute people like that. It looks like an adaptation to ancient times of a firing squad

[@leonardotanca643]

@@oliverparikian9536 , true, but surely the best way to say in English would be the way the military officers in England commanded to the archers to, well, release the arrows, say for example in medieval times before guns were invented :)

[@CJ-uy3dx]

@@leonardotanca643 under Commodus (especially the movie version), they probably executed people in whichever way Commodus wanted.

[@17MrLeon]

wel they should not speak english to begin with so for the context of translation fire is ok.

[@earthpictures7761]

This scene should have been kept because it gives insight to what happened to a person when he get enrolled in a job where he has to receive orders and execute them regardless if they are just or not.. A strong message against armies and every system that allows bloodshed

[@centurion8446]

Great stuff. Phoenix wouldn't have been liked because of his skill in this role, but he did exactly what he had to do. Showed his skill here too. Should have kept this scene in. Hopefully Phoenix gets an Oscar for Joker

[@Jasonbossman123]

Damn this actor is so good. I wonder if he’s gotten an Oscar yet.

[@thomaszimmerman6375]

Joaquin Phoenix did a great job in this movie. Hands down his best performance.

[@guypierson5754]

I can see why they cut this: that's not how executions worked in Rome, and that isn't how bows work either.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, 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.

Nice to see these scenes. Have seen the movie 2-3 times, but never bothered to check this out Nice!

Commodus is sexiest villain all the time. Love Joaquin Phoenix.

Same as joker ;)

Oh hell no there are far more attractive villains and hero’s

I'm a lesbian but Commodus could like, get it tbh

Commands: "Fire!" No fire anywhere.

Best deleted scene I've seen

[@SLMdirtfan]

I had always wondered why they were so shocked when Maximus revealed himself to still be alive. I thought clearly they must have found the bodies of the soldiers that were to carry out his execution and not Maximus' body. This totally clears that up.

best scene ever

[@joblakelisbon]

Great scene. Explains the final moment when he disobeys Commodus. Juaquin Phoenix was incredible.

[@roybatty-]

They should not have deleted this scene. It explained why certain things happened and gave a reason for later actions as they were related to the plot and the message of the film as a whole in respect to society and human nature where in motives hide only to be revealed later as the primordial animalistic behaviors of humans.

[@JakeDisselt]

Tbh I've never understood how people think of 'Gladiator' as Russell's film. His performance was good and all but Joaquin stole the film imo

[@ignacioblas7702]

And Oliver Reed

[@AGCcachanilla]

John D'Isselt After Joker everyone is going to come out and say thatp

[@kierancallaghan5819]

You must be trolling, or just really slow if you think that

[@marymatthews8403]

Because Russell Crowe is the eponymous "Gladiator"?

[@oshura2506]

John D'Isselt you need to watch the movie then and read the title because it’s obvious why 99% of people think that😂

[@haldir3120]

'Fire' he said

[@tomosborne2926]

That guy would make a great Joker

[@MsUltraBob]

The execution was very epic and dramatic , because of that I always prefer the extended cut of this movie.

[@gaz4840]

if you read the book, so much was cut out.. Commodus was selling the food reserves to pay for the games and Rome would have run out of food, this explains so much more about the film

[@EvanYoungMusic]

Holy... I was so tense seeing this scene for the first time... And this movie is among one of my favorites...

[@ceuser3555]

This deleted scene explains the reason behind the ending. Should not have been deleted.

[@stevenpeeven3169]

When Joaquin Phoenix was cast as the joker, I thought of him as Commodus and thought, great choice. And he did not disappoint
