Gladiator (film)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** You think you've seen it all with the patricide, but Commodus only goes down from there.

** The audience is never 100% sure what the Praetorians did to Maximus' wife and son. When they come, they ride down the little boy with their horses. When Maximus finds his burned house, both wife and son have been crucified. Commodus later gloats: "Your son squealed like a girl when they nailed him to the cross, and your wife moaned like a whore when they ravaged her again and again".

** Not to mention Commodus' final crossing of the [[Moral Event Horizon]] - when he {{spoiler|gives Maximus a fatal wound before turning him loose}}.

* [[Narm Charm]]: The first fight in the Colosseum - the reenactment of the Battle of Carthage - is intercut with shots of Commodus giggling and making silly faces. It's kind of hilarious.
