This is an important scene which explains more about the motivation behind the Emperor's sisters betrayal of him and should definitely have been in the film. It vexes me, I'm terribly vexed.

Great scene, they had to put it in the film..it would in rich the movie and give him more depth

Such an important scene to the film but even more to real life. How Caesar uses resources they don't have to please the rabid mob ...the people. How the people in this room feel it will play out. 20 years of dumbing down people with TV, social media, over sexualising us..until people forget what matters really

The people have always been greater united than one individual or small group...for good or bad, we all have a responsibility

While the scene brings more character and motives to the senators and the emperor’s sister it doesn’t really add more to the movie. By this point into it, we already understand the destructive nature of commudus’s gladiator fights and the spiral of democracy. The scene repeats something that the audience already comprehends.

Interesting scene. It gives a little more nuance to Gracchus, who in the theatrical is a bit more black n white “good guy” whereas here, while he’s still good he comes off as pragmatic. Gaius also gets more characterization which is - unless I’m misremembering - has almost no character in the theatrical. There he is more just this third senator always seem around Faldo and Gracchus and sort of comes off as “in the middle”. Here he comes off as very much against Commodus and concern d not just about the future of the Senate, but also the future of Rome itself. Guess this scene makes it more clear why he’s seen frequently in the theatrical despite having little to do.

i could see why they deleted the scene, we already know there's a scene in the theatrical release where she says the same lines that she lives in a prison of fear because her son is heir to the throne. And all the weird sexual advances that her brother kept doing.

There's a longer version of "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius scene." But I can't find it online. 😕
