Joaquin Phoenix gave the best performance in Gladiator (2000). He somehow made Commodus sympathetic, which is remarkable considering the real emperor was nothing more than a vain, brutal egomaniac.

Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar-nominated performance as Commodus in Gladiator was one of the first things I thought of after seeing Robert Pattinson’s performance as Antinous in The Odyssey. Cowards…played to perfection. I would love nothing more than to see Pattinson earn an Oscar nomination for Nolan’s latest. Pattinson- like Phoenix- was so easy to hate.

Joaquin Phoenix is truly on another level. 🔥 He almost gave up on playing Commodus in Gladiator. During the first script readings, he felt so unsure of himself that he approached Richard Harris (Marcus Aurelius in the film) and admitted he couldn’t capture the character’s evil nature. Harris encouraged him, reminding him that real darkness often comes from vulnerability — not power. That support helped Phoenix unlock the fragile cruelty that made Commodus so unforgettable. The performance earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He didn’t win the Oscar, but he won something bigger — his place among the greatest actors of his generation. 🎬

Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out for Gladiator (2000). While the cast pumped iron, he chose to remain soft. He wanted Commodus to look like a pampered royal whose power came entirely from status, not physical strength.

For Gladiator (2000), Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out while the rest of the crew trained hard. When Ridley Scott heard a producer call him “fat,” Phoenix argued saying, Commodus should look like a “little fat hamster” — powerful by status, not strength.

Oliver Reed was born OTD in 1938 Gladiator (2000) Reed was a force of charismatic nature, who buzzed with unhinged energy in Gladiator. It's devastatingly sad that he delivered this raw, powerful and intense performance while unknowingly staring death in the face. He was a giant.

Denzel Washington does not think about the Roman Empire. In fact, he mocks the idea that any man would care about the Roman Empire. This was during his press tour for Gladiator II, in which he was cast as a Roman Emperor.

On the 7th anniversary of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I still think this is Leonardo DiCaprio’s best performance. He lost the Oscar to Joaquin Phoenix for Joker & it’s a decision that’s aged horribly by the Academy. DiCaprio’s comedic range in this film changed my expectations of Leo as an actor. He reached another level with this film, which also happens to be Tarantino’s best.

Joaquin Phoenix is on my list for early Oscar contenders for Best Actor. His performance in Eddington is out of this world. It took me two watches to really appreciate the nuance - and the humor- that Phoenix brings to this film. This is actually one of Phoenix’s best roles ever.

During the period of the Republic of China, the government was only able to effectively control five provinces. China was in a fragmented state. He unified China from a cave, which is why the Chinese people love him so much - he is a greater figure than Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

It's crazy how in a movie full of supernatural beings, monsters, gods and other nonsense, the villain is the most sympathetic character, and he dies to exploits. Really wish he was given more time to shine, Nuada was the best part of the movie

Matt Damon & Edward Norton are at the center of Hollywood right now nearly 30 years after they made Rounders together. With Damon, he just gave a career-best performance in The Odyssey. With Norton, he just gave a (maybe?) career-best performance in The Invite. Two veteran actors, still doing it years after making a classic together. Legends.
