Trivialidades:

Writer William Nicholson added the aspects of the film in which Maximus discusses the afterlife, seeking to make the character more accessible to audiences.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The term "Colosseum" was not the original name; it was built as the "Flavian Amphitheater," but gained its name from a colossal statue of Nero outside. Sources vary on whether the name only applied to the statue, or if it was also in use for the amphitheater, in the time period.

[last lines]
Juba: And now we are Free. I will see you again... but not yet... Not yet!

One of the Greatest Movies Ever

I love history, and to me, Gladiator is a masterpiece. It is the most accurate picture of the Roman Empire Hollywood has ever put out. People declare Spartacus a masterpiece, but Gladiator far outdoes Spartacus in quality. The costuming, the acting, the screenplay, the scenery, and the fighting styles made me think that I had traveled back to 180 A.D. Russell Crowe is a true Hollywood tough guy, and he is superb in this movie. Joaquin Phoenix is outstanding as a villain, one of the best in movie history. He played his character as if it were a psychologist's dream case. Connie Nielsen plays one of the strongest female characters that I have ever seen. The choreographer of the action sequences was brilliant. Ridley Scott did an outstanding job in recreating the Empire, including the multitude of ethnic groups within the Empire and accurately depicting everyday life. If you're looking for insight into what the Roman Empire was like, this is a perfect depiction.
