why is youtube full of videos of him scenes of commodus with no audio but there is a song in the background. how is that appealing. i wanna be able to watch the whole scene and appreciate the acting. anyone with me. even this scene for example you can only watch 9 seconds of it. i cant think of another move that was this popular that you cant watch the scenes in it
@FernandoShafie Well hello, have you ever even watched the movie? Yes he was depressed because none loved him, those he thought did lied and betrayed. So in other words, he is a rather unstable human being who inflicted pain on others because he believed that such pains were fair and just. So yes, according to him, he was very merciful.
@MrAvidLearner What on earth is so comical about this scene?? My God! This was one of the best acting throughout this whole film, I do not understand your mentality.
And it wasn't in the script to yell it like that - he just made it up on the spot without telling anybody in advance. Her flinch is completely real. :)
my 2nd favorite joaquin scene in this movie (clearly the best actor in it) but what i really want to see is the scene where commodus (pheonix) kill marcus (?) just after the line " i would butcher the whole world if youd only love me!" so powerful, great delivery this and "im still here" are the reasons this man is one of the best.
Phoenix should have been cast as Anakin Skywalker in Episodes II and III. Hell, he should have been in Ep. I and Lucas could have CGIed him into an 8 year old. Christiensen is laughable to the point I can't watch the movies except to watch the Natalie Portman scenes. Am I right? I say, am I right?!!!
He is absolutely out of this wolrd in this movie. His character is so true. It was the first part I had ever seen him play, and Christ, he's astonishing. Amazing movie, soundtrack, actors :) I think it is my favorite, I must have watched it at least a dozen times. And Phoenix is always as powerful. You never get bored.
Jaoquin Phoenix's character is my favorite in this movie. He totally turned this roll inside out. He disgusts you, he makes you hate him, he makes you wish he were dead, hes outstanding. Not to take anything away from anyone else in the film... but he played a damn good part
@juno0890 I know this is 8 months since you commented, but I so agree with you! I re-watched this today (watched it in 6th grade a couple years ago) and I absolutely hated him again. This is the only movie I've seen Joaquin in but if all of his films are like Gladiator, he is one AMAZING actor.
@juno0890 Totally agree with all you said about his 'character'--genius....While he was 'evil, he was also insecure, needy, and afraid'...Only Phoenix could performance in such a role and be 'believed' as this very complexed figure...HUGE FAN!
He'll win an Oscar soon. It's all politics, not who was truly the best that particular year. He's working on something huge right now, he'll surely win the Oscar for it. That appearance on David Letterman was actually just a publicity stunt/research for a movie. It's actually going to be really cool.
He does an excellent job in portraying a man whose anger and hatred arises from the fear of not being loved.

I'm still not myself, after 2 days, all I can think about is this scene and the one right after this, when he stabs Maximus.
Joaquin's acting in these 2 scenes is phenomenal, Oscar worthy, complete transformation.
I can't believe I didn't even know who Joaquin Phoenix was 2 days ago...he's a genius.
