Gladiator vs Hannibal

Scott is considered one the best directors around and one who expresses his ideas through not only the plot but also in the way the plot takes place. He enjoys using many different kind of camera angles especially cross cutting and quick cutting. Crosscutting is when in a scene the camera moves back and forth over the shoulder of tow people who are engaging in a conversation or some sort of action. Scott uses this in his films because he likes to use different ideas or themes that involve close action. Quick cutting, which is mostly noticeable in Gladiator, is when there is a lot of action in one scene and the camera moves back and forth really quickly in order to catch all of th

The battle sequences, special effects, and set decoration is absolutely breathtaking. His identity is discovered by a police officer that turns over his whereabouts to, and is rewarded by, Mason Verger who is a previous patient and victim of Lecter. In Gladiator, there is also the idea of cross cutting used when the picture goes back and forth between the flashback and showing a shot of Maximus. It's about a Roman general who was to be the successor to the Caesar. The clip is very short but yet encompasses some of Scott’s best work as a director. So in a sense he was like a shadow like figure in her life. In the other movie, I examined a scene almost completely similar except for in plot. I am not sure if Scott did this by accident or maybe that this is one of his trademarks in his movies. In Hannibal, the same thing takes place when the picture goes back and forth between Hannibal and Clarise. The Caesar's son kills his father and attempts the same fate for the general. This is good because Clarise who has just been shot really has no idea where they are going. Another difference was that there was no real flashback in Hannibal but rather it was Clairse fading in and out of consciousness, which was symbolic because she had just been shot, and she was wondering where she was and or going. In Gladiator, it was a mere flashback of his past and memories but still accomplished the same idea of a passage of time.
