a model

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2013)

after so many years, it is one of impressive models for theme and important mark for its cast members. not for to be heroic or example of remarkable acting, for costumes, details, different ingredients of a blockbuster but for the courage to be different. Kirk Douglas is Spartacus and that is a certitude, Charles Laughton does a splendid role and Laurence Olivier is himself in the skin of Crassus, the fight scenes, the dialogs are admirable but in middle of a wave of super-productions, it propose not exactly a show but a vision about reality. so, it is not Ben Hur or another sparkle movie but instrument for a noble idea who represents triumph of idea and not the lovely end. a film who must see it after a period, like a good book reading. for its fresh air, for its powerful symbols, as homage for Kubrick genius and for remember of ideals value. a model. not only for cinema art.
