In the secene, the Gladiator was there to get his revenge on the emperor because they murdered his wife and child. The cinemaography was a long shot because you couldn't even see the crowd faces. As they were talkin' though, there were a few close-ups. Ridley Scott did a great job on picking the costumes for this movie. It really brought out the spark and showed us how Romans wore their clothing in their day.
Ridley Scott really uses mise-en-scene to show the development of the characters and give us the Roman lifestyle. In the scene, the sand blew giving a great affects to the scene & Maximus. It also showed how demanding and powerful Caesar was by him making Maximus take off his mask and letting himself be known.
The setting was taking place in a coliseum where all of the Roman fights were held at. Romans were known for the rough, bloody fights. After Caesar and his troops threw in the towel, Maximus and his troops left through the coliseum showing how packed the stadium really was in there. That's how all Roman fights were because they had nothing else better to do wit their lives. This scene brought out the Roman culture to show how they lived and did things around the empire.
