that guy who edited the trailer (and got viral on youtube for it) did it in an afternoon & did a better job than the paid editors for this film lol. the marketing team cropped the promo posters wrong lol: Gladiator was pretty influential at the time (circa 2000). It helped bring back the sword & sandal films (Troy, 300, Rome tv series, Spartacus series etc). It was also influential in gaming (Assassin's Creed, Ryse son of rome, rome total war etc) The visual style was copied and reused in many productions too. I think the Vikings TV series uses the same filter. I watched Gladiator many times and have never gotten tired of it. It is one of those movies that people watch over and over again. The only flaw in the script is how they wrote Maximus to be motivated chiefly by revenge and patriotism second; this is not really the Roman/Greek stoic way of thinking nor would Marcus Aurelius/Seneca advise it. Stoics believe that to pursue revenge is a waste and illogical; one loses themselves in revenge. They also believed that honor was more dear to one's soul than their life. He should be motivated chiefly by honor and ambition, to save Rome and get justice for his family as a side-effect .

I believe that Gladiator is also partially responsible for the interest in stoic philosophy on youtube/social media during the pandemic. All those stoicism youtubers used Gladiator pictures as thumbnails lol. Stoicism is still at 2 million views per month on youtube. People started to read the great ancient texts again (myself included- read them all). It's really a one-of a kind screenplay, so well written.
