During one of his first fights as a gladiator, Maximus makes his famous 'Are you not entertained?' speech, mocking the crowd for taking delight in his combat prowess and the bloodshed he caused.

It's a powerful moment that helps establish Maximus' character...but it's not quite perfect.

While Maximus is speaking, several members of the camera crew and a reporter can be seen in the far left upper corner of the frame.
