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

There were also some differences between the two scenes that help in shaping the different kinds of plot summaries. In Gladiator, the scenes are very bright and red colored. This is symbolic because Maximus' family has just died which symbolizes blood shed. The red also symbolizes passion, which Maximus is going to have to have if he wants to seek revenge for whoever has committed these crimes against his family. In Hannibal, the background is very dark and mysterious. This is good because Clarise who has just been shot really has no idea where they are going.

In Gladiator, it was a mere flashback of his past and memories but still accomplished the same idea of a passage of time.

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. Meanwhile, the new and improved Agent Starling is hot on his trail. In the end, Sterling finally tracks down Lecter and eventually brings his character to justice. Although this movie did not win any awards for picture, in my opinion the film was one of great quality and I thoroughly en
