great film dealing with the spirit of freedom

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 1999)

Kirk Douglas was inspirational in this epic film depicting the struggle between the desire for freedom and the desire for slavery. Graphic violence pointed out the payment made by the slaves to attain their freedom. The ending scene with all the revolting slaves hanging on crosses was brutally, vividly descriptive. A well filmed, well acted picture. 5 stars.
