oral presenrtation; gladiator

the film i have chsen to d for my oral presenation is Glagiator. this film is an action, adventure, and drama focusing on the disasters and contraversies that are handled by the protagonist known as "the spaniard", "the gladiator", or more formally known, Maximus Decimus Meridius. this film was directected by Ridley Scott, who focused on some aspcts that made this film what it is. some things that helped determine its genre is the development of the early primary conflict and the quick exposure of Maximus' character. To drag in the audience rapidly, Ridley decided to put much action in the beginning; a war scene. in this opening, Marcus Aurelias is the emporer which Maximus serves under as he top general. This scene is shown with some greusome images and sword-fighting, but in turn shows the impressive skills of Maximus.After establishing this action portion of it, a drama is enabled due tovthe early main conflict of the death of the emporer, by his son, a young man who strives to pleasehis father but can never do so. the son, Commodus, strangles his father to death in order tovplace the crown on himself befrore it was relinquished to Maximus.Along with that, Commodus sends him to exile and kills his family, ths beginning the dramatic development of the film. Maximus' goal is to free his men and to be reunited with his family, which can only be achieved through his death. The image of his death is recurred throughout the move as he passes through the fields, and is carressing the plants as he approaches his family further on the path. this film's ability to intertwie these different genres proveswhy it won 5 awards, including Best Picture.
   thi film was immensely influenced by "the sword and sandal" genre such as The Fall of the Roman Empire and Sparticus. in these movies, each protagonist has a position in relation to the thrown. both dealing with a father of another and have devious plans to sabotage the loyal persom that deserves it. Overall, in these films, they all contain a protagonist that main goal is to better Rome and servethe wants of the people.`
  what we can infer about its creator, Ridley Scott, is that he is big on action and adventure movies. Some of his other films include Alien and Black Hawk Down which are very filled with action. This idea very well suits his life as he was raised  in an army family nd joined as a navy merchant when he was young. Also, he was boen to a royal family in England which is why he may be so fimiliar with the high staus in places such as Rome where Gladiator had taken place. this film shares a lot of similarites to his other films bacause i have oticed that he always manages to find a very very good antagonist. they come in different forms but they all dominate the films and are the main cause of problems to the protagonist and challenges their character the most. Many similar approaches that Ridley Scot has in all of his films is that he usually gets close up in all of the action. ll of hisfighting scenes are emotional and intense because they are pulled in so tight. Another approach that Ridley Scott uses for his films that is widely known in his pieces is his comfortability with his actors. He allows them a lot of freedom and takes theirnsuggestions into consideration. he is also vry focused on atmospheric lighting, which is closely demonstrated in Gladiator when commodus looks through his window and sees the beautiful verizon. Ridley Scott is an amazing director who has made some brilliant films.
