Today, in film class, we continued watching the action movie Gladiator, which we watched some of the first part last class.
In the movie, the man called Maximus, who led the army, won the war and so the emperor was happy and wanted him to lead the empire after he died. During the scene of the war, the camera sometimes shoot from a higher place and what we could see was the whole forest on fire and soldiers fighting. In addition, when the soldiers killed someone using their sword, the camera usually goes slower on every single killing.
Knowing that Maximus would be the one leading Rome, the emperor's son, Commodus got jealous. The emperor soon got murdered. Every scene of the movie was very dark, grey, sad and gloomy, giving me a depress feeling.
Maximus went home, and his wife and son were being killed. He was very sad and cried, and soon fell asleep. Then, he was brought to somewhere to be a gladiator, having to fight with people while the audience yelled and clapped.
In this movie, the camera shot from different angles and places, sometimes from a higher place, sometimes from a far-away position and sometimes really close to the character's face. I could also see who was the good person and who the bad one was, from what they spoke and what they did. For example, Maximus was a nice person who cared for his family, as he cried very hard when his family died and he tried to save them while Commodus was a evil person who murdered his father.
Again, I am looking forward to the next film class!
