The task we were given was to find an appropriate opening scene for whatever film we wanted and then to describe the effect and overall reaction created by this scene. This is the opening scene of the classical film gladiator, it's one of my personal favorite films because of the desperate journey the main character experiences to avenge his fallen wife and son. The introduction of this film portrays a fierce battle between the huge roman army and the vicious barbarian troops, it creates an intense ambience and the dramatic orchestra music in the background heightens this. Although the main characters journey is very physical, it almost resembles a pilgrimage where he try's to find god and to forgive him for 'taking' away his beloved family.
