Trivia:
Maximus' tattoo "SPQR" stands for "Senatus Populusque Romanus," which translates to "the Roman people and senate." This was one of the main slogans of Rome throughout its history (as well as today, e.g. manhole covers etc.). moreGoofs:
Continuity: The soldier who fires the first flaming arrow at the start of the battle changes the orientation of his bow between shots. In the first shot he is holding it horizontally, like a cross-bow; in the next shot (which comes immediately after) he is holding it vertically. moreQuotes:
[during the fight with Maximus, Commodus loses his sword]Commodus: Quintus, sword!
[Quintus does nothing]
Commodus: Give me your sword!
[Quintus does nothing]
Commodus: [to his guards] Sword, give me a sword!
[the guards unsheathe their swords]
Quintus: Sheathe your swords! Sheathe your swords!
[the guards sheathe their swords]

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.
