My favourite Rome film by far, the soundtrack was beautiful.

Glorious. I need to watch it again sometime.

>it actually happened
You mean that Marcus Aurelius was a real emperor and that he was one of the better ones?

this is as good as kino gets kids

THEY DIDN'T HAVE FLAT TOPS IN ANCIENT ROOOOOOME

...

The people existed, the events didn't really. For one thing Maximus was a brute whom murdered his own wife. Commodus wasn't some sickly sister-fucker, he was a charismatic chad who would dress up as Hercules and fight in the colloseum for fun.

Same
Can anyone name any sword and board kinos other than gladiator and braveheart?

>people should know when they're conquered
>would you Quintus? Would I?

Well, parts of it were real, Caracalla really did like to fight in the Colosseum

Not really. The opening battle represents a true event, one of the final battles against the Marcomanni and Quadi on the Danube in the 180s AD, and Marcus Aurelius really did to be replaced by the useless, gladiator obsessed Commodus. Everything else in the movie, including the details, is completely wrong and just for Hollywood.

The moment of the final duel, with rose pedals falling, my heart sank.

>t. Ralphie

rob roy is the purest kino

ah, and barry lyndon

Are you telling me Hollywood would lie to me?

The man in the iron mask is bretty good.

He knew what was up

>look up frost on wikipedia
>it actually makes the blade stick

holy fuck

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.

>watch star trek: deep space nine
>look it up on wikipedia
>it's a faaaaaake

Very little of what happened in the opening battle was based on anything historical anyways, so really none of the movie was. Shame Ridley Scott didnt include obscure historical stuff like the gladiator product placement because he felt it would be too corny and wouldnt match the hollywood history.

>gladiator product placement because he felt it would be too corny

He was right. I would have dropped it right there

I thought Maximus was completely fictional. Aurelius had a favored general, but he tried to lead an uprising and was killed by his own men.

As for Commodus, he ruled along side his father for 3 years and, after going nuts much later, he was strangled by his personal trainer and wrestling buddy.

>yfw Jesus actually existed

"True Roman bread, for true Romans."

Rome did it and no one blinked an eye.

Rome did it and no one complained.

upvoted

Damn right it does.

...

Don't you know that a secret society of true latins left Europe to forge a new empire called America? We wuz emperors n sheit

...

Yes, and the Aesir were actually just a bunch of Trojans/Thracians who landed in the Caucuses before spreading up to Scandinavia.

Biggest meme quote in film history

no way gladiators existed? mind = blown dude

There were dozens of individuals named Jesus at the time and they all preached their own shit. The question isn't IF Jesus existed, it's how many of the things said in the Bible about him hold ground.

Troy was actually a city near the finnish coast called Toija. The story is true but it's wrongly assumed to happen on the wrong sea.

All solid movies centered somewhat on dudes in armor with swords killin niggas.

Obligatory: youtube.com/watch?v=5ds054OF7hY

Gladiator is a goofy fucking movie, made by a hack director. Risen (a 2016 movie about Jesus) is more historically accurate than this shit.

nice try snow nigger

last byzantium emperor was serbo-greek

>Jesus at the time and they all preached their own shit

To be more accurate, there were tons of people named jesus and tons of people crucified for various crimes.

King Baldwin was based as fuck.wish the movie would have focused on him more than boring ass legolegs.

And that his son was a psychopath that loved fighting people in the arena (although they were always infirm, crippled, or maimed to give him the advantage) and was eventually murdered by a gladiator in a senatorial plot.

Practically everything else is fiction.

Not to mention that Bible was changed by whom saw it fit.

>watching Amadeus

>mfw ancient germany was a real place

Out the door, one cross each, line on the left

When are we going to get a movie about the battle of alesia and the gallic wars?

>Watch All Quiet On The Western Front

Gay lick wars? Marketing nightmare.

What is it about movies about Rome that feature that sort of light snow, that almost seems to be coming up from the ground. It was even in the King Arthur movie with Clive Owen. Shit is dank as fuck, I'd watch a whole movie/series about the wars at the beginning of Gladiator so long as every scene was snowy and blizzardy.

>Watch Pearl Harbor
>It actually happened and was even called Pearl Harbor

>sword and board kino

is this truly what is best in life?

Prop snow drifting in currents because they're shooting outside... ?

Doesn't Fargo capture at least the snowy?

>Gladiator product placement

Rome never fell

Haha, good joke, but Rome is not a real place user :^)

America is literally Mystery Babylon, the Great Whore

It was pretty retarded though.

>he and Saladin come to understand each other in their later lives

King Baldwin was based. A GoT/Tudors style TV show about the Holy Kingdom of Jerusalem and the cursed line of kings would be beyond dank as fuck.

>Le based

Whatever it is its comfy as fuck and it looks damn near the same in every movie I notice in it, mostly movies about Rome

Fargo does, sure, but its even comfier in a medieval/ancient setting

Barry Lyndon is very underrated for a Kubrick film

Risen was quite good.

id actually like to see a sequel to that

>The last nigga on earth
>starring tom hanks

too bad the woman's speech at the end ruined it.

weird how Rob Roy came out at the same time Braveheart did and got completely overshadowed. it's a pretty good movie.

>there are plebs right now in this thread

Barry Lyndon is fucking shit

You want a good movie for that period watch Duelists

factually incorrect

>watch Sir Lancelot
>visit Wikipedia

>Barry Lyndon is fucking shit

Please never post on Sup Forums again

I see I'm not the only one who didn't like it. She makes it sound so cheesy as fuck, it kills the last part for me.

The clan is the Last Samurai were traditionalists. Its mentioned in the film.

The last niggas on earth*

Nothing like that ever really happened in history though, it would be like if the Japanese make a movie about the Civil War where all the confederates are knights in plate armor.

>mfw people think "I am the senate" is a quote from Star Wars now

>be a faggot
>think the title of a tv series is the character's name in a poster and and not the real title because im a faggot
>continue being a faggot

Keep telling yourself that white boi

>Nothing like that ever really happened in history though
And? Its a fictional story.
Literally no one watches movies for historical accuracies.

Ser nigsalot

My point is if that movie was made any seriousness would fall flat because you would laugh at how wrong it was. Period movies shouldnt rely on the audience being ignorant to tell a compelling story.

Charles V's heir was Philip II of Spain, so its titles are theoretically in hands of the current King of Spain.

HRE was a different crown than King of Spain(s), with different rules of succession.
