Movie Reviews of Spartacus
Movie Review: a story that tells many stories
Summary: 5 Stars
The power of this film arises from the way that it taps the resources of so many other, well-known stories. Based on Howard Fast's novel, which makes of the Spartacus story a parable of the struggle between capitalism and communism, the film Spartacus also replays the American Revolution (most of the Romans are beastly Brits), the story of Exodus (the Romans are Pharoah and Kirk Douglas' Spartacus is Moses), the civil rights movement, the death of Christ, and many other stories as well. In an ingenious turnabout, the city of Rome is portrayed as an armed camp, while the camp of Spartacus is portrayed as a city in the true sense. Stanley Kubrick, the director, was wrong to disown this film. Spartacus is a classics of the genre.
