In 209 BC, when the tyrant Qin II, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, opening the door to the demise of the Qin Empire. Before that, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were both peasants who could no longer suffer from poverty. Chen Sheng was a long-term worker, and Wu Guang was a poor man. They were recruited by tyranny to build the lofty and long Great Wall. The heavy rain blocked the Daze, delaying the deadline, and being punished by death. , so they decided to rise up.

After 136 years, in the ancient Roman Republic in the west, a life like a cricket and a cockfight, a slave gladiator Spartacus who was used by dignitaries for entertainment, shouted and raised his arms, calling for unity. All the slave gladiators picked up kitchen knives, hoes, hammers, broke the cage, scared the slave owners away, and started the mighty road to pursue freedom - not be free, or die, or die vigorously, so everywhere The slaves responded one after another and joined the team, which was as large as 70,000 people when it was grand.

Although Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Spartacus failed in the end, their spirit inspired generations of people who were oppressed and exploited, until two thousand years later, people all over the world overthrew the feudal slave society one after another.

The great mentor of the proletariat, Marx, once praised Spartacus as his idol.

    8 points. An epic blockbuster 50 years ago, but it is different from the real history. Of course, the battle screen, special effects, etc. are not comparable to the current ones, but it is so long ago.

Spartacus quotes

  • [Spartacus is reluctant to make love to Varinia due to her pregnancy]

    Varinia: I won't break.

  • Tigranes Levantus: If you looked into a magic crystal, you saw your army destroyed and yourself dead. If you saw that in the future, as I'm sure you're seeing it now, would you continue to fight?

    Spartacus: Yes.

    Tigranes Levantus: Knowing that you must lose?

    Spartacus: Knowing we can. All men lose when they die and all men die. But a slave and a free man lose different things.

    Tigranes Levantus: They both lose life.

    Spartacus: When a free man dies, he loses the pleasure of life. A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win.
