A great tale. Kubrick's best movie! Kirk Douglas and Laurence Olivier were quite brilliant. The gold metal goes to Douglas. Jean Simmons is very nice. This great movie is not philosophically confused. It shows the revolt of slaves to gain their freedom in ancient Rome. It shows the politicians thirst for power, and their outbursts of tradition as their reasons for slavery. The movie is quite long, but for once a Kubrick movie is full of exciting scenes. There are still some boring nothing happens scenes, but that is OK when exhausted from some tense scenes. The action scenes were well crafted for '60's cinema. Besides a few slow parts, there really are no faults in this movie. It is too good for modern cinema.
9.7/10.0
