C'est une erreur à mon avis, Gladiator est un grand film et ce suffit à lui même. This is a medium two shot it  emphasises that two people are in the shot, it shows that these two people are important for this scene it therefore makes the scene more tense whilst they battle out,  this shot also captures the energy in which the characters portray whilst fighting.

The desire to take revenge on Commodus has completely taken over Maximus' psyche…much as those wriggling lil' maggots (ew, ew, ew) have taken over his wound.In a larger sense, however, the wound's also a symbol of Rome's betrayal of Maximus. But that's not the only symbolic duty being done by these giraffes. In the film's opening battle sequence, the dog that follows Maximus around, and ends up helping in battle when he's about to get stabbed, suggests that Maximus has a strong connection to the natural world (a connection emphasized also in the fact that he always rubs his hand in the dirt before a fight).The giraffes in Africa, in contrast, are there to give us an idea of the scope or breath of the Roman Empire—it stretched from England and parts of modern-day Austria to the sands of northern Africa. Y'a rien à dire, ils vont juste gâcher l'univers de Gladiator ! It's hard not to be moved by the bittersweet end of Maximus' life, and yet when the camera pans up, and see a glorious, sun-lit image of Rome, it's hard not to feel that all is right in the world.Sure, there are only a handful of fight scenes, but they're The fight scenes in the arena show us pretty much the same kind of gorefest we got used to in Germania.

Commodus himself has an uneasy relationship with the citizenry.Sure, Rome's a big, well-managed, and stunning testament to human achievement (check out the good digital recreations of the Colosseum and the Senate), but it's also a very dangerous—and very conflicted—place. The other important suggestions implied in Maximus' dirt-rubbing ritual is this: he's close to the natural world. Villeneuve a encore fait un boulot magnifique, je trouve ! Usually we'd be making a bigger deal out of the fact that it won biggies like Best Picture and Best Actor, but the costume thing is pretty major…because the costumes pack a symbolic wallop in this epic.In fact, you can chart the difference between Commodus (boo) and Maximus (yay) through what they have on their backs.The fashion disparity between Commodus and Maximus is especially pronounced once the scene shifts to Africa, where Maximus's stripped of just about everything: his family, his career, his freedom, and his clothes. 12:56.
