    Facts have proved that American production in the 1950s + epic theme + top actress = an invincible feature film with religious elements. But Nero started to be very...

    FOX's The Robe is even more scumbag than this. The script is very careful, and Nero has a very full line. This film will look better if it is his biography alone. The Ustinov version of Nero should be a classic. The Christian relationship is almost as bad as The...

    The male protagonist looks like a dick who doesn't believe it for thousands of years, and the female protagonist lacks love so much that she only wants to believe in men. Only Nero played really well, bad to his bones but childishly bad, too close to the original...

    Nero played so well, he can definitely enter the best performance in film history, and explain Nero's cruelty, fragility, nervousness, ruthlessness, and ignorance. Another surprise is that the handsome guy Robert Taylor actually played a role and enlightened hero image that was initially frivolous and gradually became reliable! There is also the love between the uncle and the maid, once it was the affectionate confession of the maid to the master, and the other time it was the confession of the...

    Hollywood blockbusters of 1950 always remind me of "Sparkling Red Star"? A group of heroes with a neat composition, a plot setting where good and evil are not balanced, sonorous and powerful lines, and a lot of preaching. Whether the purpose of the movie is to praise God, or Chairman Mao. Movies that render ideology always look...

    At first glance, it was amazing. The scene was gorgeous and the group play was spectacular. It was relatively rare in 1951. The movie clearly explained the general characters and events one by one without procrastination. Robert Taylor played the "knight" as always, and Deborah Kerr was too "ice beauty". Slightly mediocre, Nero also portrayed in place, but the shaping of "Fair and Elegant Magistrate" is weak. Pietronius is my favorite character in the original book, 3.5 stars...

    Although it is a 1951 movie, the pictures are very clear and beautiful, and the actor Robert Taylor is handsome, very good! In the first half, I especially like the dialogue between Petronius and Emperor Nero, which is very humorous, and Nero's composition and singing are hilarious. The second half turned to the persecution of religions, and I learned a little bit about Christianity from this...

Quo Vadis quotes

  • Petronius: It is not enough to live well. One must die well.

  • Petronius: [in his dying letter to Nero] To Nero, Emperor of Rome, Master of the World, Divine Pontiff. I know that my death will be a disappointment to you, since you wished to render me this service yourself. To be born in your reign is a miscalculation; but to die in it is a joy. I can forgive you for murdering your wife and your mother, for burning our beloved Rome, for befouling our fair country with the stench of your crimes. But one thing I cannot forgive - the boredom of having to listen to your verses, your second-rate songs, your mediocre performances. Adhere to your special gifts, Nero - murder and arson, betrayal and terror. Mutilate your subjects if you must; but with my last breath I beg you - do not mutilate the arts. Fare well, but compose no more music. Brutalize the people, but do not bore them, as you have bored to death your friend, the late Gaius Petronius.
