the opening scene is represented in a lot of ways. first, there is things of the costumes. he  wears a cape which looks like its been made out of fur, like from an animal, and unlike the other soldiers, the peice on his chest was metal and differnt to everyone else's. 

there is also how he spoke. he speaks like he is the general of them which suggests he leads them. also the way that they bow when he walks past suggests this.

in the opening of the film, there are no binary opposites that you can see, which means that maybe there will be one soon. 

costume is also important. they are dressed i clothes that ancient romans might wear, or anythign in the ancient period. all costumes are a very important part of mise en sen

the sound in this film is amazing because we dont hear that nowadays. the sword fighting and the horses galloping really made the feeling that the audience was a part of the fights, thrills and spills.

i think that there were some special effects added to the film as it wouldve been hard to film. the speeches in the film were oalso amazing. the way the characters stood told us actually quite a lot about them, even though they didnt even talk. russel crowe's posture also emphasizes his status.
