Go Home

Does it get any better than Russell Crowe in Gladiator? This final scene always touches my heart. Maximus fights his last battle and goes “home” to his family. So touching when his men honor him and carry him off the battlefield.

Russell Crowe said that when he was first approached to play Maximus, the script was very poor. It was so bad the producers wouldn’t send it to him in case it put him off. Instead, they just asked him to meet Ridley Scott. Crowe did get his hands on the script though, and didn’t like it. He was going to say no but he was working on The Insider (1999) at the time and its director, Michael Mann, told Crowe he should meet with Scott anyway. Crowe did and said: “Ridley’s pitch was basically – ‘we’ve got a $100m budget. It’s ancient Rome. You’re playing a General. And you’re being directed by me.’” Crowe was suitably impressed, and took the part. Gladiator (2000)

Mel Gibson was the top choice to play Maximus in Gladiator (2000). He turned it down because, at 43, he believed he was too old to convincingly fight in armor. His rejection paved the way for Russell Crowe to take the role. And the rest is cinematic history—Russell Crowe went on to define the character and turn Gladiator into an unforgettable epic.

I remember this exact moment when Charlie said this. I remember the chills. I still have the chills. This man was far wiser beyond his years and people treat Erika terribly. A man who took on the world and the narrative changing it for the better. Speaking truth got him m*rdered. Remember him. Honor him. Honor his life. Honor his family. Honor his word. Honor his faith. Honor his legacy. We miss you Charlie.

The emotional ending of Gladiator (2000) was not the original plan. In the first script, Maximus was supposed to survive after defeating Commodus. However, during filming, Ridley Scott approached Russell Crowe on set and told him: “With the way the story is unfolding, you cannot survive.” Both realized that Maximus only existed for one purpose: to avenge his family and reunite with them in the afterlife. If he lived, the character would lose all meaning. (Crowe even joked: “So what would Maximus do next? Open a pizza shop outside the Colosseum?”) The death scene and the final reunion in Elysium were late changes — and they became the greatest ones, turning the film into a true emotional masterpiece.

This news is really heartbreaking. I keep thinking about when he shared that in his family, no one has ever passed the age of 45 and it’s such a painful reality to carry. Hearing now that his brother has also passed just a few days ago makes it even heavier. My heart goes out to him and his entire family during this difficult time. I pray God gives them strength, comfort, and peace, and may his brother’s soul rest in perfect peace.

Napoleon loved his soldiers and by extension his soldiers loved him. They would fight for him to any end. Napoleon had accepted his fate when he realized Waterloo was lost and wished to die alongside his Old Guard. He had to be dragged off the battlefield by his Marshals.

Even though they’re obviously trying to paint him as the bad guy, doesn’t it seem like Goliath embodies the traditional European notions of Courage and Honor better than David does in this scene? Goliath does not want to fight a child, an opponent far weaker than him, he even offers him a weapon and converses with him. Upon hearing david’s appeals to his god, Goliath even accepts the challenge to fight a God. And what does David do? He sneaks him while he’s not looking. This video encapsulates much of our history.
