Never-ending debate in my head: Does Commodus have good eyeshadow game or is he just really sleep-deprived?

[oneandonlyizabelle]

The man that started it all. The beginning of my taste in questionable men. Y’all thought Kai Anderson was number one? Or Rafe Cameron? Nah. It’s mf Commodus played by Joaquin Phoenix.

This man has shifted something inside of little me’s brain the first time I saw him.

[earthtoamaal]

“am i not merciful?” no.

he’s a freak but i wouldn’t mind having his tongue in my mouth — WHAT who said that

[suppleorganictissues]

genuinely at a loss for words about the level of face this man serves. it makes me physically ill. sick to my stomach.

[dykklangelo]

Commodus. Your pathetic wet dog demeanor and daddy issues have charmed me. I will be chewing on you now.

I just noticed how Commodus always has half of his face in the shadows and the other lit, it really gives a mask impression as if it was a deliberate choice to show the internal conflict of the character , how he is on the edge of both opposites

[hauntedhowlett]

rip commodus, you would have loved gentle parenting and secure attachment style

[latinateobsession]

Honestly, tho, this is a mood. 🐦

Am I rereading Mary Beard’s SPQR in honour of my newfound hyperfixation? Maybe. Did I also order The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire? Hey, at least it’s not drugs!

[latinateobsession]

So. Uh. I found the original Gladiator script and .... the vibes around Commodus are VASTLY different.

[latinateobsession]

Like. VASTLY. An ARTIST - are you kidding me?

[latinateobsession]

HOLY SHIT. I can see why they changed it - character dynamics and all - but still ...

[latinateobsession]

Apparently the culmination has Commodus wearing nothing but a lion's skin and gold body paint. Again, I can see why they changed it, but I would sell my soul for some test footage of that...
