Spartacus (6/10) Movie CLIP - Death Is the Only Freedom (1960) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) tells Tigranes (Herbert Lom) that the slaves don't fear death and that gives them the advantage.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) is a rebellious slave purchased by Lentulus Batiatus (Peter Ustinov), owner of a school for gladiators. For the entertainment of corrupt Roman senator Marcus Licinius Crassus (Laurence Olivier), Batiatus' gladiators are to stage a fight to the death. On the night before the event, the enslaved trainees are "rewarded" with female companionship. Spartacus' companion for the evening is Varinia (Jean Simmons), a slave from Brittania. When Spartacus later learns that Varinia has been sold to Crassus, he leads 78 fellow gladiators in revolt. Word of the rebellion spreads like wildfire, and soon Spartacus' army numbers in the hundreds. Escaping to join his cause is Varinia, who has fallen in love with Spartacus, and another of Crassus' house slaves, the sensitive Antoninus (Tony Curtis). The revolt becomes the principal cog in the wheel of a political struggle between Crassus and a more temperate senator named Gracchus (Charles Laughton). Anthony Mann was the original director of Spartacus, eventually replaced by Stanley Kubrick, who'd previously guided Douglas through Paths of Glory. The film received 4 Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Ustinov. A crucial scene between Olivier and Curtis, removed from the 1967 reissue because of its subtle homosexual implications, was restored in 1991, with a newly recorded soundtrack featuring Curtis as his younger self and Anthony Hopkins standing in for the deceased Olivier.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire life.

[robertplissken]

The "I'm Spartacus" scene is great, but this is probably my favorite scene in the whole film. "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." Amazing line and amazing delivery by Kirk Douglas.

[KneelBBacon]

1:00 _"I've heard that you are of noble birth yourself."_

Nice touch. Levantus already knew that Spartacus wasn't noble-born but he just wanted to see what kind of a man Spartacus was. If Spartacus was willing to lie about a small thing like that, he might be willing to lie about bigger things (like paying off the remaining giant chests of gold).

fantastic scene.
Herbert lom plays the cynical dealmaker to perfection.
such a masterpiece of a film.

[Rickwmc]

Herbert Lom was such a splendid actor.  He could do any role - adventure (Mysterious Island),  dramatic (Phantom of the Opera) and comedy (Pink Panther).  Peter Ustinov was that way, too.

[eamonnrogan]

this for me  this is problably the best film I have ever watched, , very few special effects, , it didn't need them, , outstanding cast and plot, , we never make these sword and sandal epics now, , Olivier cold as rock, , fantastic show

[fightfairloseeasy]

Herbert Lom ... the very definition of underrated. He was rarely the leading man but he was always their equal

[HrAlias]

Kirk D. he was one of the best actors ever!!

[georgeemil]

Tigranes is such a respectable character. Eventhough he knew Spartacus couldn't read, he complemented him by saying he heard Spartacus was from nobility and then let Spartacus correct him. Then when Spartacus explained how he entertained Crassius once in the arena, Tigranes changed the subject and complemented the wine.

[mariawhite]

Rip kirk the movie and roll only kirk, could play.

[FluffyFooFookins]

"I entertained him one afternoon."
"...you?"
"... in the arena"


Dude thought you liked snails for a minute there.

[pato]

Herbert mom plays the cynical dealmaker to perfection.

[hotadpol]

What a voice Sir Peter possessed ....:)

In Loving Memory Of
Kirk Douglas (1916-2020)

[seancidy]

Kirk Douglas: seething rage personified.

[theironclads]

Kirk Douglas played Ned in Disney's 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Herbert Lom played Captain Nemo in Mysterious Island.

[KellyUK]

Another good man down. Kirk Douglas 1916-2020. To think his family in the ghetto were considered "bottom rung" as his Dad was the local rag and bone man. And he gave us Michael. Never let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough.

[LyndaGreaves]

[Therrc]

This is back when movies were movies, its mostly special effects now with cardboard cutout acting.

[Laurencemardon]
