Gladiator!

I really like this scene from the end of the movie. It has a lot of power and the costumes, angles and camera focus play into the strength that it beholds.

Firstly, you may notice that Commodus is dressed in white, a color that represents innocence and tranquility. This is the complete opposite of his character and I find that choice to be interesting. On the other hand Maximus is robed in black. There is a subconscious negative connotation to this color because in most cases it represents evilness and cruelty. I thought it was very interesting that the directors chose to dress these characters this way because I believe they should switched. Maximus in white and Commodus in black.

As you can see, Maximus is thrusting a dagger into Commodus with a pained look in his eyes. He is looking down at him establishing that he has the power in this situation. The camera angle that shows Maximus higher is relaying to the audience that Commodus is about to be murdered and that Maximus is very powerful.

These two characters are the main focus in the shot and shown in full focus. They are dead center and the figures shown in the back are blurred, showing that the audience should focus on what is happening between Maximus and Commodus.
