Why is this still a great film even by 2015 standards?
>>63065042
nostalgia
Can't stow the Crowe
>>63065042
because 2015 standards are pretty fucking low
>>63065042
Were you not entertained?

Sopranos
I find that it drags on a bit. It could probably have been shortened by 20-30 minutes.
>>63065042
ive actually watched it today
its a really good movie and "even by CURRENT YEAR standards" is just a big meme
some movies are timeless classics and this is one of them
>>63065042
2015 standards are lower than in 2000. It shows why capeshit is so popular nowadays
>>63065042
because truly great films are timeless

It's a timeless story of one man overcoming all odds.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and 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.

His helmet looks fucking stupid.
It's the last movie I can think of that had a straight black ass African character that was based
I don't think it would be made the same way today. Black gladiator would eat up too much screen time because they have to make it up to the audience for casting a black slave

I watched it again the other night, and it's definitely among the best films of all time.
Good cast.
Great cinematography.
Good story.
Timeless, really.

you look fucking stupiod
I like Kingdom of Heaven more. The director's cut. I like to think they coexisted in the same "universe" like I do with the Wire and Homicide.

well yeah, it wasn't specifically made for him. he grabbed it so no one would see his face straight away

You're what's wrong with film.
>>63069592
no you

>>63069613
This. That "what is Jerusalem worth?" scene gets me.
>>63069484
underrated comment
>>63069613
Me too.
In Kingdom of Heaven the historical inaccuracies don't bother me at all, I really like that movie
The Soundtrack is amazing too, the costumes as well
Gladiator just kind of pokes me in the dick with historical shenanigans, I don't know why but it just sort of annoys me in that movie
It's still pretty great though, Joaquin's performance was very good

also that first fight in the forest with Liam Nesson and friends is incredible

AM I NOT MERCIFUL!!!
>>63065042
because it has an unconventional ending since the hero dies
not many movies have that.
>>63065042
Because 2015 standards are really low.
>>63065042
It's not
It's filled with shitty tropes, clunky dialogue and a run of the mill story
The symbolism is heavy handed
To me it will always be a movie made to appeal to testosterone filled teens and dads trying to be overly manly
Fuck this movie

Good film by 2015 standards
Bad film by 1950s standards

wow that's where DOOMS helmet is from. I never knew.
Okay let's discuss this:
Gladiator is a good Action Film with to little character development and story to carry 2.5h
It is not a first grade Scott Film
It is not a first grade Scott Period Piece
It is just a frankenstein monster of all those epics namely "Ben Hur", "Quo Vadis" and "Spartacus" but without the spectatcle those films provided.
It is a good action film but nothing more.

This tbqph familia
one thing that has always bothered me, just where the fuck is his farm/home located?
>escapes execution in a cold ass place full of trees
>rides for a few days (?) to a comfy ass farm
>sees wife and child get rekt
>stringysalivatowifesfoot.jpg
he gets rekt there, then he's carried off by niggers and all of a sudden he's in sand land.

>>63073544
His farm is in north Spain
The battle is on the borders of france and germany, so north part of Europa.
The ride takes a week atleast
His family is burned because the iillers got about a day head start
The sandland is north africa, prolly by boat from spain.
>>63074096
that makes sense, that's exactly how i imagined it to be, the only glaring error though is how there wasnt even a small implication of a boat ride off to north africa / maybe morocco.
if memory serves me right it just shows a timelapse video of a desert all of a sudden.
