Kubrick's war movies are, without exception, excellent, even if this one is limited by Hollywood. At this time, I can still think of the shock, emotion and thinking that "Road to Glory" and "Full Metal Jacket" brought me. The layout of the scene and the details are very powerful. When I watched it, I was thinking about how it was shot. It is beautiful and realistic at the same time. Naturally, the most impressive thing is the chaos of the uprising and the tragic decisive battle, especially the burning fire stick. Secondly, the characters are also very vivid, the gradually awakened Spartacus, his wife, comrade, the principal and businessman, the two grandmothers who fought, the two young men who assisted the fight, and even Zhuoba who only had one fight scene. and two ladies watching. I especially like Zoba's smile before the duel and the design of the duel afterwards. It can be said that he brought new life to Spartacus and made him go from resistance to revolution. The photography and editing of this duel are also very exciting. Tradition-loving dictators and slick democrats are great, too, with their sophistication, and the latter still has a distinct charisma that's reminiscent of his Witness for the Prosecution performance. Another impressive place is that when the messenger told Spartacus to let them escape by boat, Spartacus decisively went away, and the speech he gave in comparison with the dictator afterwards, which especially touched me. . This may be the hero, knowing that he can't do it, he leads the people to resist, not for fame and fortune like most uprisings, but just to live and be free, because he was a slave. I thought about the Chinese history in my memory, and I can only think of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Zhu Yuanzhang for this kind of uprising, but they also cheated at the beginning, and later became kings and emperors themselves. As for our proud Han and Tang Dynasties, their He started not to resist the so-called brutal Qin Sui, but to take advantage of the chaos in the world to compete in the Central Plains. This kind of success is not as good as the failure of Spartacus. In the end, Spartacus was nailed to the cross. A carpenter who made a cross later realized painfully that he was Jesus in "The Last Temptation of Christ". It was one Li Gongpu who fell, and thousands of Li Gongpu stood up. Thousands of people will call me Spartacus. In addition, I remembered a part of "Roma" and "Spartacus (American TV Series)" that I watched before. In addition, this film is still mixed with some of Kubrick's own things and some thoughts. Although it is true that Hollywood and Douglas's performances have made the film's feelings more direct and strong, there is still something to think about. After all, the Roman Republic has become a Roman Empire The transitional era is very interesting and complicated.
