The slave uprising attacked the Roman ruling group and intensified the contradiction between optimates and civilians. Crassus, an aristocratic general, took the opportunity to defeat the leader of the civilian faction, Gragu, usurp the power of the Chief Executive and implement dictatorship. In order to attack crassus, Gracchus planned to let the slave army settle. On the other hand, crassus bought off pirates. At the same time, Rome recalled two troops fighting abroad.

Status in film history: "Spartacus" is a large-scale epic film in ancient Rome, which tells the story that slaves in ancient Rome rose up against the tyranny of slave owners. Petofi's famous poem "Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If you are free, you can throw both ",which has the highest value in this film. The details are classic-the slave owner threatened Spartacus, the slave who dared to resist, with death. He made a face and asked, "What is more terrible than death?" And Spartacus' answer is: "Yes, the humiliation of personality is more terrible than death!" " "In addition to the magnificent appearance, the film also gives a delicate and vivid description of the inner world and dramatic life of the main characters, thus showing a tragic atmosphere and profound connotation far beyond similar works. Production background: Spartacus is based on the novel of Howard Faust 1952. This novel recounts in detail a true historical event that happened in 73 BC-the story of a soldier who led his slave companions against the Roman Empire. Only one week after filming began, stanley kubrick succeeded anthony mann as the director. The film cost1.200 million dollars, and was filmed for 167 days, with more than 10000 people participating in the filming. The war scene in the film was shot in Spain, and thousands of Spanish soldiers were used. The film was nominated for six Oscars, and finally won the best cinematography, best costume design, best art direction and best supporting actor (Peter Austenov). 1992, Robert A. Harris, a well-known restorer (with the assistance of Steven Allan Spielberg and stanley kubrick), spent nearly 1 10,000 dollars to restore the nearly five-minute movie (including the shot of Tony Cortez and laurence olivier in the bathroom) that was deleted when the original movie version was first released. This extra 5-minute shot completely followed the essence and charm of the original film, re-recorded and added the soundtrack. Anthony Hopkins, an Oscar winner, replaced Lawrence Oliver, who died at that time. This large-scale epic film shows us the eternal war of human freedom through real historical narration. And director Kubrick used his unique film language to make Spartacus interpret human love and commitment on the magnificent historical stage.
