Dear YouTube friends: One more Kubrick's masterpiece. Mr Kirk Douglas and Ms Jean Simmons must have won the OSCAR. A great work and and a great movie, wonderful and touching soundtrack. Unforgettable scenes. Unmatcheable! Great cast most of all the British actors. Thank you for uploading!
Anthony Hopkins did the voice over for deceased Laurence Olivier in the truncated bath tub scene with Tony Curtis. Cut footage was later found without the sound track. Curtis did Curtis and Hopkins did Olivier.
@MrMCGardner Wow thank you for the response interesting bit of info never knew that. Kind of eery how almost everyone from this film is gone, just a few actors remain in my lifetime
The amount of terrific acting Kirk did with eyes in this film is incredible. I echo bigtoeeric's thought--one of the best emotional endings in the history of film.
Spartacus was indeed captured. Ancient Roman records that have survived recorded this.
He was capture in this battle, however, Hollywood did change the ending (his death).
They killed him but did not crucify him. The Romans had his body dismembered, sent his body parts out to the different roads leading into Rome as an example to warn others attempting insurrection.
Looks interesting I have never seen it ,But they never captured spartacus If I recall correctly?They don't even know how he died I believe.But movies are never 100% accurate I know.Looks like a good film though.
@o14elise it's all relative... "Spartacus" is still above ground.... his son too, thankfully... Awesome movie, with Beh Hur at the same time, todays mostly lame cinema can't compare.... love the voice of the Roman centurion.
Jean Simmons was to die for anyway. The music in this last scene is superb. The finale as they drive off with the background soundtrack - triumphant even in defeat,
Jean you are one of the most beautiful actress, I always love all your movies I always watch spartacus every week I really love this movie. God bless your beautiful and great soul, you will never and ever be forget , please Rest In Peace.
@smartalek1 The last shot is from Spartacus' point of view--he's watching the retreating wagon. The guy you see slumped forward is one of Spartacus' warriors.
Every time I watch this scene, I get so depressed. Not all films had a happy ending back then. Once in a while, you'll see an episode of Law and Order where the "good guys" lose, but nothing today compares to this. They didn't care if you left the theater laughing or crying...as long as the movie affected you. DAMN, this scene sucks!
She wanted him to die because it is so painful to be crucified so she wanted the pain to be over because she loves him...just why Spartacus tries to kill antintes so he won't go thru the pain of crucifixtion
This is one of the most touching but depressing scenes I've ever seen in any movie. For Varinia to have to say goodbye to the man she so deeply loves in such tragic circumstances! And he, being nailed to a cross, can't embrace his new son. The only thing that triumphs is an idea he spawned.
My favorite movie of all time. What a cast..Tony Curtis, Sir Lawrence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, Kirk Douglas..Charles Laughton..I know almost every line, and the soundtrack is amazing...
Do you rekon that they should build sets like they did for the fall of the roman empire and cleopatra rather than cgi , it would cost shit loads of money but it would look amazing lol
Do you rekon that they should build sets like they did for the fall of the roman empire and cleopatra rather than cgi , it would cost shit loads of money but it would look amazing lol
The brilliance of this scene lies in the physical studies of the players: Douglas, Simmons, Ustinov. Sadly, actors like Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox are nowhere by comparison.
@rgani1 they originally cut the scene where she says " die, my love die.." because it was too negative, later it was put back in as Stanley Kubrick intended
I was cutting through a specialty food store to get to the supermarket where I shop and they began to play the Love Theme from Spartacus. I couldn't leave. I ended up shopping there and spending much more money.
@misterpotatoheaduk There is just one problem pothead,there are NO filmakers today,filmaking gave way to video games,driven by one thing Profit,there is NO profit in filmaking.there is profit in video games,that they call films.
Spartacus: "YES, YES WOMAN, STOP RUBBING IT IN MY FACE!"
Woman: "Oh my love, my life, please die, die."
Spartacus: "Why thanks, I wasn't suffering enough already, your tender words of love are like a balm to my aching heart. And body. And arms. Just fuck off, will you?"
i saw this first in ancient history class and watched it every year after in latin class during all four years of high school and haven't seen it since. as someone who enjoys films and screenplay writing, i need to add watch it again and have as an addition to my dvd collection, i always thought it held up really well for an older movie.

@gol67 Actually funny you should bring up Gandhi, because there are allegations to something very close to what you are saying. See my reference below. Now as to my previous points, I was only saying that Spartacus may not have been the great hero that we see him as. HE could have been, then again he may not have. Many history sources are questionable at best. (look up Ghandi Naked ambition by Jad adams
An all time classic movie shows standing up for a common goal and unconditional love which many of us will never know and the struggle between the selfish and unselfish in the world and society.
@xmorg i saw the restored version in 1991 when i was going to college in connecticut. i was overwhelmed because i was not used to seeing this type of film in a theatre (only on tv which does not do it justice). years laters i see some of the flaws (tony curtis accent) but it remains a powerful statement and achievement (i remember that i did not recognize laurice olivier initially as i had never seen his movies from when he was young, d'oh)
Agree...and the music makes it more so. North's manipulation of emotions here is obvious, yet hauntingly beautiful. It's a pity that we will never see the like of this kind of movie making ever again.
Mr. Douglas...I know you still look at Youtube from time to time. This was your master work...true art and a credit to you and the glory that was Hollywood.
This is actual history you moron. It was the biggest stand that slaves made until today. That's why it was written in history and not forgotten like all others. Spartacus was like a hero spoken for generations, and to me is more hero than all the others that are mentioned in history
@RenosG I don't know why I am the subject of such cruel personal attacks but the author who wrote about sparticus, was Appian and assuming he did it in the waning years of his life he would have written about something 236 years earlier. That's pretty much like me writing about the "first Thanksgiving in America" with no sources. I can pretty much say whatever I like and 2000 years from now everyone will think I was there. How do you know your hero, wasn't just some bloodthirsty raider?
@RenosG Now you call me an idiot!? Ok lets take a good hard look at what you said. Even though you are not wasting your breath on my maybe you should instead study history and see how much of the Illiad, the oddessy, is fact. Or how about all of the pharaoh's who wrote who they "won" great battles when their enemies wrote the opposite. But whatever is written in history regardless of motive, is true. Ahh, I get it now. I'm about to write a scify, call it history and therefore it is true.
@xmorg Im not talking about history written thousand of years ago, but about modern history books that are reffering to the Third Servile War lead by Spartacus, Crixus and Oenomaus (known as Dottore in the series). Modern books that from what it seems you never laid an eye on one. And yes you are stupid trying to convince me that I don't know history
@RenosG Are you for real? This has got to be flame bait! To suggest that "modern" history books, are more accurate than original historian? if Appian the original "source" may or may not be correct when writing about something that happened 200 years earlier, then what does modern history(thousands of years later) have to offer? The only way you could be right is if a modern historian found a very well preserved battle site. And even then he wouldn't have a first hand knowledge of theculture
@xmorg lol so all this leads to you saying that the spartacus guy wasnt who we all expect he was? you sincerelly dont believe such a revolt happened in the ancient times for the rights of human beings? i believe so cuz in those times they werent all stupid they all had "Human minds" you know. they thought like us and fought for what they believed. if spartacus was a raider prove it. this is such a shit comment its like saying gandhi raped kids in his lonely nights.
What if they found other sources of information that gave other points of view towards the issue.
For example, you find 1 source, written 10 years after the event that says "X killed Y". Then, you find, 12 years after the event, a number of documents that say "X ordered Y to be killed" and "X told Z to kill Y".
More information, despite being later, gives a greater understanding to what happened. Now, whether or not this is the case here, the point is history can improve in accuracy.
@bersaba You do have a point. However, we are talking the difference between hundreds of years ago vs thousands of years ago. IF I found a dinosaur bone, and proclaim that have finally found godzilla, great! but later someone finds the rest of the skeleton and realizes that its just a raptor - then I see your point. However, my point is that knowledge degrades over time unless carefully preserved. History becomes myth/legend every time its retold. And we have no surviving evidence about Spt.
@bersaba something else to think about. Will the archeologists a thousand years from now find this dvd, watch it and think its actual history instead of historical fiction?
Probably. Didn't Futurama do something about that with WW2 looking back 1000years or something. To be honest, I'm not to concerned what people 1000 years look back to now and think, I'm more concerned about what people NOW look at current history and think.
I think there should be a far greater emphasis on critical analysis of information taught in high schools (ie, weighing up where information comes from, seeking sources, etc). Generation wikipedia make take it as gospel. ..groan
Hey for what it's worth I understand your point and tend to agree with it (on the whole). To be honest I'm not sure what the initial arguement was that you were debating with Renos, but that's the way I work. I see an opening in a discussion I know nothing about and pick apart one slight flaw.
Years of internet have taught me a valid skill set. How to be a complete and utter bastard. :D
"Spartacus" was an iconic movie for me. It taught me about love, standing up for a common cause despite overwhelming odds. "I'm Spartacus" has become part of popular culture Also, Jean Simmons' response to Kirk Douglas' "I am not an animal," ... "Neither am I." A surprisingly feminist statement for the time. When she addressed the defeated Spartacus in the last scene, I lost it. Major credit to Alex North's score,
This scene breaks my heart every time! I was shocked when I first saw the restoration, for Varinia's line begging Spartacus to die was left out for many years. To hear her say it made it even harder, yet more poignant to watch.
"There is only one way to deal with Rome, Antoninus. You must abase yourself before her. You must grovel at her feet. You must love her. Isn't that so, Antoninus?"(Marcus Licinius Crassus)
When Marcus Licinius Crassus has been draped with a bathrobe and was about to leave the bath pool, he remarked to his slave boy Antoninus, "My taste includes...both oysters...and snails." It means he can go either way sexually. His sexual orientation includes both women and men...in other words he is a bisexual! When he is talking about Rome, he is actually referring to himself. Just as Rome has dominion over slaves and weaklings, so does he has over Antonius.
Earlier movie versions including the original theatrical one cut out the "snails and oysters" bit. It was subtle but apparently not enough for US censors to leave it in back in 1960. It was only around the 1990s that the scene was restored but with missing soundtrack. Tony Curtis was still alive to rerecord Antoninus but the part of Crassus had to be done by Anthony Hopkins as Lawrence Olivier had already died by then
Thats really fasinating about the missing soundtrack......ive always wondered about when spartacus drowns the trainer in the soup,he bashes his mouth really hard on the side of the bucket it looked like it was done for real. do u know if you can get the making of it anywhere?

Are we supposed to take it that when his head slumps back in the last 4 seconds of his last closeup (2:37-2:31), he's died?
Esp since, in the long shot that follows, he's completely slumped forward, & definitely looks like he's passed?
And if so, why would they show it 4 so short a time & make it seem ambiguous (if it's not just me missing the obvious, as I often do)?

This is such a powerful scene. I watched this movie last night, and at this ending, I won't hesitate to admit it, I cried, and cried, and cried.

Agree...and the music makes it more so. North's manipulation of emotions here is obvious, yet hauntingly beautiful. It's a pity that we will never see the like of this kind of movie making ever again.
Mr. Douglas...I know you still look at Youtube from time to time. This was your master work...true art and a credit to you and the glory that was Hollywood.

I like how the Romans put a cushion behind his head on the cross and they tied him to it they didn't nail him to it

Well most of the time the Romans didn't nail people to the crosses since it just wouldn't hold them up. It was easier to just tie them to it.

Crucification typically meant only tying the convicted to the cross. They nailed only special "offenders".

This is actual history you moron. It was the biggest stand that slaves made until today. That's why it was written in history and not forgotten like all others. Spartacus was like a hero spoken for generations, and to me is more hero than all the others that are mentioned in history
RenosG 1 year ago
@RenosG I don't know why I am the subject of such cruel personal attacks but the author who wrote about sparticus, was Appian and assuming he did it in the waning years of his life he would have written about something 236 years earlier. That's pretty much like me writing about the "first Thanksgiving in America" with no sources. I can pretty much say whatever I like and 2000 years from now everyone will think I was there. How do you know your hero, wasn't just some bloodthirsty raider?

@xmorg Because whatever is written in history books is historically proven you idiot. I'm not wasting my breath for you anymore
RenosG 1 year ago 4
@RenosG Now you call me an idiot!? Ok lets take a good hard look at what you said. Even though you are not wasting your breath on my maybe you should instead study history and see how much of the Illiad, the oddessy, is fact. Or how about all of the pharaoh's who wrote who they "won" great battles when their enemies wrote the opposite. But whatever is written in history regardless of motive, is true. Ahh, I get it now. I'm about to write a scify, call it history and therefore it is true.

@xmorg Im not talking about history written thousand of years ago, but about modern history books that are reffering to the Third Servile War lead by Spartacus, Crixus and Oenomaus (known as Dottore in the series). Modern books that from what it seems you never laid an eye on one. And yes you are stupid trying to convince me that I don't know history
RenosG 1 year ago 3
@RenosG Are you for real? This has got to be flame bait! To suggest that "modern" history books, are more accurate than original historian? if Appian the original "source" may or may not be correct when writing about something that happened 200 years earlier, then what does modern history(thousands of years later) have to offer? The only way you could be right is if a modern historian found a very well preserved battle site. And even then he wouldn't have a first hand knowledge of theculture

@xmorg lol so all this leads to you saying that the spartacus guy wasnt who we all expect he was? you sincerelly dont believe such a revolt happened in the ancient times for the rights of human beings? i believe so cuz in those times they werent all stupid they all had "Human minds" you know. they thought like us and fought for what they believed. if spartacus was a raider prove it. this is such a shit comment its like saying gandhi raped kids in his lonely nights.

What if they found other sources of information that gave other points of view towards the issue.
For example, you find 1 source, written 10 years after the event that says "X killed Y". Then, you find, 12 years after the event, a number of documents that say "X ordered Y to be killed" and "X told Z to kill Y".
More information, despite being later, gives a greater understanding to what happened. Now, whether or not this is the case here, the point is history can improve in accuracy.
bersaba 1 year ago
@bersaba You do have a point. However, we are talking the difference between hundreds of years ago vs thousands of years ago. IF I found a dinosaur bone, and proclaim that have finally found godzilla, great! but later someone finds the rest of the skeleton and realizes that its just a raptor - then I see your point. However, my point is that knowledge degrades over time unless carefully preserved. History becomes myth/legend every time its retold. And we have no surviving evidence about Spt.

@bersaba something else to think about. Will the archeologists a thousand years from now find this dvd, watch it and think its actual history instead of historical fiction?
xmorg 1 year ago
@xmorg
Probably. Didn't Futurama do something about that with WW2 looking back 1000years or something. To be honest, I'm not to concerned what people 1000 years look back to now and think, I'm more concerned about what people NOW look at current history and think.
I think there should be a far greater emphasis on critical analysis of information taught in high schools (ie, weighing up where information comes from, seeking sources, etc). Generation wikipedia make take it as gospel. ..groan

Hey for what it's worth I understand your point and tend to agree with it (on the whole). To be honest I'm not sure what the initial arguement was that you were debating with Renos, but that's the way I work. I see an opening in a discussion I know nothing about and pick apart one slight flaw.
Years of internet have taught me a valid skill set. How to be a complete and utter bastard. :D

"Goodbye My Love, My Life".
"Spartacus" was an iconic movie for me. It taught me about love, standing up for a common cause despite overwhelming odds. "I'm Spartacus" has become part of popular culture Also, Jean Simmons' response to Kirk Douglas' "I am not an animal," ... "Neither am I." A surprisingly feminist statement for the time. When she addressed the defeated Spartacus in the last scene, I lost it. Major credit to Alex North's score,
Thank you, Jean. You made a difference.

This scene breaks my heart every time! I was shocked when I first saw the restoration, for Varinia's line begging Spartacus to die was left out for many years. To hear her say it made it even harder, yet more poignant to watch.
Wow.

"There is only one way to deal with Rome, Antoninus. You must abase yourself before her. You must grovel at her feet. You must love her. Isn't that so, Antoninus?"(Marcus Licinius Crassus)

the conversation they had about snails and oysters does that mean he was gay? watched it all these years and only just noticed that bit lol
790766 2 years ago
When Marcus Licinius Crassus has been draped with a bathrobe and was about to leave the bath pool, he remarked to his slave boy Antoninus, "My taste includes...both oysters...and snails." It means he can go either way sexually. His sexual orientation includes both women and men...in other words he is a bisexual! When he is talking about Rome, he is actually referring to himself. Just as Rome has dominion over slaves and weaklings, so does he has over Antonius.
zulby09 2 years ago
Earlier movie versions including the original theatrical one cut out the "snails and oysters" bit. It was subtle but apparently not enough for US censors to leave it in back in 1960. It was only around the 1990s that the scene was restored but with missing soundtrack. Tony Curtis was still alive to rerecord Antoninus but the part of Crassus had to be done by Anthony Hopkins as Lawrence Olivier had already died by then

Thats really fasinating about the missing soundtrack......ive always wondered about when spartacus drowns the trainer in the soup,he bashes his mouth really hard on the side of the bucket it looked like it was done for real. do u know if you can get the making of it anywhere?
