Gladiator Film Analysis

Violence has been part of human nature for a very long time. Even though ferocity in our reality has been greatly reduced; violence in T.V has greatly increased. We see a lot more blood, murders, and in greater detail. From 1960’s to the Early 2000’s, Movies have greatly changed in terms of violence. The first movie I choose to do was, “Gladiator”. It was released in the year 2000, and also won the Oscar for best picture. The director was Ridley Scott. The motion picture shows a lot of blood and people get slaughtered. In addition, the film has a lot of hand to hand combat with multiple types of arms included; swords, axes, and maces. Most of these scenes were shorter. The encounters that included more than just hand to hand combat tended to last longer. Some more of these missiles were; spears, bows, and catapults. Nearly every violent scene in the film someone dies or multiple people are getting slain. They show a lot of the gore and witness the stabbing being placed.
It was released in 1964 and directed by Nick Nostro. The violent scenes are all very short. Most, have no weapons involved in the scene. The movie does show some murders, but you could almost count them all on two hands. There’s a decent amount of encounters that just involve men slapping one another with open fists. I found a video on the movie, but the video needs to be started four mins in. I apologies for that. Video shows one of the fight scenes against the prince (Start at four mins for fight scene). Blood is never displayed in the movie. The violent scenes in this movie are very non graphic with less intensity. When people do actually get stabbed with any kind of weapon the scene is very quick. In one scene, they show a man strangling another man. It was the longest death scene in the movie and lasted roughly around ten to fifteen seconds. Overall for this movie, was not as extreme and the violence was a lot lower
