Hmm? There is one way to deal with Rome, Antoninus. There is the power that bestrides the known world like a colossus. The might, the majesty, the terror of Rome. My taste includes both snails and oysters. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?Īnd taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals, hmm? Tell them you and that broken stick is all that's left of the garrison of Rome! Tell them we want nothing from Rome, nothing, except our freedom!ĭo you refrain from these vices out of respect for moral virtues?ĭo you consider the eating of oysters to be moral, and the eating of snails to be immoral? The symbol of the Senate! All the power of Rome! Haven't you seen enough gladiators in the arena to see how easy it is to die? You disappoint me, Marcus Glabrus, playing dead. He was commanding it on his belly when we found him, playing dead! Every pass is defended by its own legion. Once we're on the march, we'll free every slave in every town and village. We can beat anything they send against us if we really want to. We beat the Romans guards here, but a Roman army is different. One gladiator is worth any two Roman soldiers that ever lived. You can't just be a gang of drunken raiders. Get up! What are we, Crixus? What are we becoming, Romans? What's happening to us? Have we learned nothing? We hunt wine when we should be looking for bread. I swore that if I ever get out of this place, I'd die before I saw two men fight to the death again. I want to see their blood, right here where Draba died! When I fight matched pairs, they fight to the death! Your new masters, betting to see who'll die first. Noble Romans, fight each other like animals. Breaking tradition with sophisticated themes and a downbeat (yet eminently noble) conclusion, Spartacus is a thinking person's epic, rising above mere spectacle with a story as impressive as its widescreen action and Oscar-winning sets. Despite some forgivable lulls, this is a rousing and substantial drama that grabs and holds your attention. These and other restored scenes expand the film to just over three hours in length. The restored version also includes a formerly deleted bathhouse scene in which Laurence Olivier plays a bisexual Roman senator (with restored dialogue dubbed by Anthony Hopkins) who gets hot and bothered over a slave servant played by Tony Curtis. Jean Simmons plays the slave woman who becomes Spartacus's wife, and Peter Ustinov steals the show with his frequently hilarious, Oscar-winning performance as a slave trader who shamelessly curries favor with his Roman superiors. Fully restored in 1991 to include scenes deleted from the original 1960 release, the full-length Spartacus is a grand-scale cinematic marvel, offering some of the most awesome battles ever filmed and a central performance by Douglas that's as sensitively emotional as it is intensely heroic. With an intelligent screenplay by then-blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo (from a novel by Howard Fast), its message of moral integrity and courageous conviction is still quite powerful, and the all-star cast (including Charles Laughton in full toga) is full of entertaining surprises. Kubrick would later disown the film because it was not a personal project-he was merely a director-for-hire-but Spartacus remains one of the best of Hollywood's grand historical epics. Stanley Kubrick was only 31 years old when Kirk Douglas (star of Kubrick's classic Paths of Glory) recruited the young director to pilot this epic saga, in which the rebellious slave Spartacus (played by Douglas) leads a freedom revolt against the decadent Roman Empire.
