@hargohargo2 totally agree! Joaquin SHOULD HAVE WON THE OSCAR--his performance is one of the best if not the best in cinematic history---loved 'busy little bees' dialogue as well as others----HE MADE THE MOVIE!
He was only 24 years old when he acted in this role. It was a very mature performance for someone his age. A very deep character, he portrayed the neurotic, megalomanic, inadequate nature of Commodus with great precision and natural flair.
This is what makes Joaquin a talent above most other actors.
Russell Crowe was perfect though as General Maximus.
I will NEVER understand why he didn't win an Oscar in 2001: between Gladiator and Quills he deserved both lead and supporting role award. i LOOOOOVE Joaquin Phoenix and his portrayal of Commodus: so realistic and real....amazing...
I agree, I thought JP was gorgeous in this film, the makeup and costume departments did a superb job on him. And I loved his character, I would have given him the love he craved.

there definitely is something about him. i can't quite put my finger on it but joaquin kind of fascinates me...no one i know understands it, they're all like: 'he's not even handsome!!' but i dont care. (besides i think he IS handsome - he looks SO good in gladiator!!!)
Yes, I agree with you. It should have been Joaquin Phoenix by far. There was no comparison. His acting ability alone was by far the hardest. His character was so full of hate. Joaquin did such a magnificent acting role with that character it was unbelievable. What hurts the most, is that he never received any gratitude for the demanding and hated character. THE REAL JOAQUIN PHOENIX IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.
he was the best thing in the whole movie I would have been bored sitting in the theater if it had not been for the character of commoduw and Joaquin Pheonix I was sad when he died at the end
Not to discount the gushing here, but Commodus as written was an incestuous patricide; ambitious as hell but a spoiled brat with neither his father's wisdom or the
valor of Maximus. Threatened by both, and tried to do away with both; an absolute snake.
But honestly his eyes and his lips just drive me crazy......but then again his body is gorgeous through n through so its not like I can choose if u kno wat I mean ;) lol =)xo
ive seen nearly all of them, he is so talented, the fact he is hot is a bonus, i was watching Walk the Line for about the 50th time(literally, i work in a cinema)last night and it still blows me away. i strongly recommend it, and The Yards and We Own The Night are musts!!! :)
I agree 100% hes talented and gorgeous and just simply stunning he was made to marvel at his beauty is just tooo great to put into words lol <3333 =) xo
totally I know its a cliche to say but his lips imperfection just makes him all the more gorgeous.....also check out the documetary he made on a tribe in the Rainforest....Yawa i think. Theres a feature in this months Marie Claire, also there showing Walk te line and Buffalo Soldiers, one after teh otehr, i ha ethm both on DVD but its just better onTelly!!!.....thats british channel 4 and british Marie Claire duno of you get them in Canada??
Exactly...omg yea Ive seen parts of the documentary hes done in the rainforest with the Yawanatribe tribe....looks like Im going to hav to buy an issue of Marie Claire lol ;) oooo and It looks like Im gonna hav to check my local listings for those movies but for sure I kno wat u mean its always a treat to watch one of Joaquins movies on the telly lol but I actually do hav Walk the Line but I dont hav Buffalo Soldiers on DVD but Ill check for them both lol ;) its worth it to watch Joaquin =) xo
This was very well put together, much better than the movie. I like how you've captured the quiet uncertainty of this young monarch. Great job! Namaste'
JP is brilliant. In this movie his performance was the best (imho)
