I love how the camera pans to the spectators. From the injured man with the sling to the well-dressed guy in the white suit, everyone has a reaction that adds to the atmosphere.

The man in the white hat wears his elegance like armor. His movements are graceful, almost dance-like, but do not be fooled. When he strikes, it is with the force of a hammer.
