The film has a grand scene, rigorous structure and excellent actors. It describes the earth-shattering and tragic slave uprising in history, and it also shapes the glorious image of Spartacus, the "representative of the ancient proletariat". The greatness of Spartacus is that he does not only think about his own survival and freedom, but he has all the slaves in his heart, whether they are swordsmen, women, children, old and weak. He wants to lead them out of Italy, where there is no possibility of survival, to Sicily, to his ancient homeland of Greece, to create and build a commune-like society without slave owners and slaves. When he saw that this ideal could not be realized, he still heroically led the uprising team to Rome, to fight to the death with the Roman slave system represented by Cossus (Crasus). Knowing that it is almost impossible to win the decisive battle, he still fights desperately without hesitation. Because he would rather die for a free man than live as a slave. Therefore, the film did not write that he died in battle, but was captured, which is really a failure. The leader of a slave uprising like Spartacus had only one possibility of being captured, and that was that he had been bruised and battered in the desperate battle, and was almost in a coma. Now, the film depicts him being captured, thus bringing out the following plot: he and his men shout "I am Spartacus" in unison; he and Antonius are forced to fight swords; Ya hugged their newborn and said goodbye to the crucified Spartacus. These episodes may seem a bit interesting, but they are really "superfluous". In doing so, the film may want to say that although Cossas suppressed the uprising, he lost psychologically; perhaps he wanted to make the image of Spartacus taller and more perfect. But no matter how you look at it, the effect is counterproductive. For example, Spartacus wanted to stab Antonis to death to get himself on the cross, which is to express that Spartacus loves his subordinates more than himself, but the sword fight itself is obviously that Coxas won this. plate. These last episodes of the film are really "Hollywood", but a Hollywood "gimmick".
