In this scene of Gladiator we see Commodus murdering his father Marcus Aurelius. We see that Commodus is standing higher than Marcus with a close up shot, this symbolizes his ascension to power. Commudus is wearing all black, and there is not a lot of light shining on him. This portrays how evil he is. The bust of Marcus Aurelius in the back symbolizes that one era has come to an end, and his legacy is left behind.
