The main aspect that influenced our production from the film Gladiator was the famous scene where the audience follows Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius as he walks through a field of Barley as he puts his hand out through the field.
The field upholds the idea of tranquility in the Film Gladiator and is even seen as the protagonist's heaven through his eyes during his dying moments. In our piece however it signifies something far darker and astray from this idea, being Isolation and how life goes on in the world and it does not care for our protagonists strife and own struggle in life. This location can clearly be a reference to the film due to the location's similarities, the difference is the other side of the coin. With Gladiator using it as a means to show Family and our piece using the location as a symbol of isolation and sorrow.
