GLADIATOR Clip - "Now We Are Free" (2000)

A film is nothing without the music and Hans Zimmer nailed this one. This is one of the best films ever!

We cry for Maximus not for his character or even for Maximus himself. We cry for those free souls who fought for freedom and taught us not to kneel in front of tyranny. May all of them rest in peace.

As a father who has lost children, this scene gutted me. I sobbed for hours afterward. I long to hear at my deathbed, "Go to them," and "You're home." I will see them again. But not yet. Not yet.

This reminds me of my father who passed away in January 2024. He was a warrior, he survived the polio decease as a child, a war, extreme poverty, physical disability due to the polio, earthquakes, heart attack, diabetes, Covid 19, a stroke and finally neumonía before he passed away. Rest in heaven Dad.

"He was a soldier of Rome, HONOR Him" Goosebumps everytime.

Am 73 now and still regard this movie as the greatest ever-an absolute masterpiece.

"He was a soldier of Rome. Honour him" I like Her commanding voice☺️

Duty, honor, country. That is what this character portrayed. It is not often in life that men live those principles. Amazing movie Mr. Ridley Scott.

Women cry after watching Titanic. Men cry after watching Gladiator

"He was a soldier of Rome....Honor him". She delivered that line perfectly.

Gladiator the perfect movie we never needed a sequel.

Hans Zimmer - one of the very BEST Musicians, of ALL TIMES!

22 years later and still one of the best endings ever

Yesterday, I carried my dad's coffin on my shoulder to the front of the church - the same way he supported me for all my life. This was playing as we entered. I have never, ever been prouder in my life, and I can tell you that I probably never will be again. I honoured my gladiator; my hero. Like Maximus, his fight was over only after he lived long enough to ensure everything was okay for his family. To any of you reading this, you need not a moment exactly like mine to show you what really matters in life, just keep your heart and eyes open for what that may look like for you. Thank you for everything and I love you, Dad xxx

Many times I have watched this movie. And many times I have seen this ending. Only now did I realize Maximus’s final words were “Lucius is safe”. And this brought me to a powerful realization. Maximus lost his wife and son in the most horrible way possible. The anger, the pain, the despair he suffered must have been unfathomable. How he could ever overcome such a loss would be too much for most men to take. But, Maximus did just that. Because he learned to love again. He wasn’t just fighting to avenge his blood family’s death. He was fighting to protect his living family, the family he adopted into his heart, Lucilla and Lucius.

this masterpiece is already 24 years old, in vain they decided to make part 2, what a legendary song it has become, the music touches the soul, amazing

"He was a soldier of Rome, Honor him" the respect that comes with this is unparalleled. Goosebumps everytime!

The part when he is reunited with his wife and little boy always has me crying my eyes out - so poetic

If you don't cry at the end of this movie, you are NOT human!

Hans Zimmer has such a beautiful, distinctive music style.❤️
