The American film "Spartacus" is directed by the famous director Stanley Kubrick, starring Kirk Douglas, Lawrence Olivier, Joan Simmons, Charles Laughton and other world famous movie stars. A large-scale Roman full-scope epic film, the film was released in the United States in 1960 and is three hours long. The film is based on the novel "Spartacus" by American writer Howard Fast. The novel narrates a real historical event that happened in 73 BC, the story of a gladiator who led slaves to revolt against the Roman Republic. Several of the main characters in the film are real, although many later critics called the plot incompatible with history, Spartacus, Caius Sempronius Gracchus and Marcus Licinius Crassus, among others. Of course, Howard Fast's novel "Spartacus" is very different in content from the Italian Giovannioli's novel of the same name. The lover that Giovannioli arranged for Spartacus is The Roman dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla's wife, Van Leelia, and Fast arranged for the Gallic female slave Varinia. Giovannioli wrote that Spartacus was killed on the battlefield near Brindisi, which is in line with historical records, while Fast wrote the ending of Spartacus as being crucified after being defeated. The film vividly shows the struggle of Roman slave fighters for freedom and emancipation by narrating the fact that the slaves in ancient Rome rose up and resisted because of the tyranny of the slave owners, but were eventually suppressed, and showed us that mankind pursued freedom and equality. huge sacrifice made. And director Kubrick used his unique film language to let Spartacus perform extremely moving and thought-provoking love and commitment in the magnificent historical promenade. In addition to the majestic appearance, the film also has a delicate and vivid description of the inner world and life drama of the main characters, thus showing a tragic atmosphere and deep connotation far better than similar works. The film won 4 Oscars including Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematography, and also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Movie.
