Spartacus

Spartacus 1960

B.C. This film, which tells the story of the legendary Spartacus, who led a major slave revolt in the Roman Empire in the 70s, was not actually Kubrick's own project. Kubrick, who was appointed to replace Anthony Mann by producer Kirk Douglas shortly after the shooting started, sailed into very different waters in the movie he adapted from the novel of the same name: The sword and sandal on the market were foreign to the movie genre. rise In that case. The result isn't exactly Kubrick-esque, but it's a great piece of epic cinematicism, from outdoor shots with lots of extras to sets, a cast full of brilliant names, and some memorable scenes as dramatic as the genre demands ("Spartacus is me!").
