The movie's famous line


"What happens in life echoes in eternity." I didn't notice this line until the 2nd time I saw the movie. I was paying more attention to things being said. What a brilliant line.

And you still weren't paying attention the second time. The line is "Brothers! What we do in life... echoes in eternity."

It's actually "What we do in life... echoes in eternity"

There's several other quotable lines -

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius....."

"The general who became a slave, the slave who became a gladiator. A gladiator who defied an emperor"

"My name is Gladiator"

"The mob is fickle brother"

"At my signal unleash hell"

"Strength and honor"

According to some sources, Russell Crowe hated this line and attacked writers on set saying something like "Your writing is *beep* but I am the best actor in the world and going to make it work."
