The "I'm Spartacus" scene is great, but this is probably my favorite scene in the whole film. "A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win." Amazing line and amazing delivery by Kirk Douglas.
The thing is that the pirates aren't slaves. By Spartacus's own words, they would have lost their "pleasure of life" to get "help" Spartacus lose his "pain of life".
This great line Kurt says reminds me very much of what Barnabas Collins Dr. Julia Hoffmann who also delivered a great line about "Death" that death would only be welcomed Mercy after the pain he'll inflict on Dr Woodward
1:00 _"I've heard that you are of noble birth yourself."_ Nice touch. Levantus already knew that Spartacus wasn't noble-born but he just wanted to see what kind of a man Spartacus was. If Spartacus was willing to lie about a small thing like that, he might be willing to lie about bigger things (like paying off the remaining giant chests of gold).
this for me this is problably the best film I have ever watched,,very few special effects,,it didn't need them,,outstanding cast and plot,,we never make these sword and sandal epics now,,Olivier cold as rock,,fantastic show
Herbert Lom was such a splendid actor. He could do any role - adventure (Mysterious Island), dramatic (Phantom of the Opera) and comedy (Pink Panther). Peter Ustinov was that way, too.
Tigranes is such a respectable character. Eventhough he knew Spartacus couldn't read, he complemented him by saying he heard Spartacus was from nobility and then let Spartacus correct him. Then when Spartacus explained how he entertained Crassius once in the arena, Tigranes changed the subject and complemented the wine.
Yes. The subtle but clear distaste with which he speaks that "Excellent wine" line is the mark of a true actor. Lom has only two scenes in the film but makes a huge impression in both.
Ja, hab ihn geliebt. Wusstet ihr, dass er aus einer Bitterarmen juedisch Familie stammt, die von Russland nach Amerika emigrierte? Er rappelte sich von ganz unten hoch! Und behielt seinen Charakter!!!!
+theironclads Herbert Lom was a versatile actor who could play drama, comedy and character actors. He was wonderful as poor Inspector Dreyfuss up against Inspector Closseau (Peter Sellers). I have never seen any one so delightfully funny.
+Spartaculus Jones Herbert Lom was indeed a most versatile actor and gave many memorable performances in films. He was a great Nemo, was funny in Pink Panther, scary in Now the Screaming Starts and a great Phantom of the Opera.
And, the subject matter is always Kid Stuff. People don't know the difference any more. Overgrown kids, that's the viewing public, as far as quality is concerned...
Another good man down. Kirk Douglas 1916-2020. To think his family in the ghetto were considered "bottom rung" as his Dad was the local rag and bone man. And he gave us Michael. Never let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough.
You should see him when he plays the brother of a wrestler who manipulated by Richard Widmark in the Jules Dassan movie City of Night.. what a great classic film Noir movie.. Came out between 1957 and 1959?
Classic film superb actor,s and very well made they don't make film,s like spartacus anymore or actor,s all the great actor,s our gone now but this film is still on the TV sometimes and you never get fed up watching them love this film seen it about 8 time,s 😊
They did free, their hearts tasted & embrace freedom and that was something that eve cruxifiction by Rome could not take away. In Cloud Atlas the Futuristic Story ends the same way too. Freedom, like Power is a Shadow in the Wall (to quote Game Of Thrones), people chase it if they want it badly enought, but there are no quarantees that they will ever catch it or hold on to it long enough.
I actually prefer Kirk Douglas as Spartacus as opposed to Liam McIntyre and the late Andy Whitfield. It's nice to see an American playing the role instead of a British actor - which seems to be the go-to these days for Hollywood when it comes to casting for "classical roles." The only thing I will say that makes Kirk Douglas look out of place in that time, in my personal opinion, is how short his hair is and the fact that he is clean shaven. If on the other hand if he had had his hair a bit longer, and a full beard, I think as far as looks go he would very befitting for that era.
Kirk was a product of his era and in 1960 the social pressures on a boy or man to have short hair were overwhelming. It wasn't until the Beatles and the "hippie revolution" that men dared to grow their hair longer.
Douglas spit in Olivier's face, (not in this scene) he also spit in Roland's face in 'Amos'.....does anyone know who elses face Douglas may have spat on beside these two movies??
Spartacus was noble but a prisoner of war at that time historically speaking his family connection link with the northern Greek tribe of what is today THRAKI his name Spartacus alone can hold through in my opinion he was in many ways genius & apply this gift for the liberation of all slaves through improvisation on the battle field at the beginning of his rebellion he was in a marvelous position had the opened city in his hands unprotected he had the chance to destroy Roma on the spot which it was consider as right thing to do by the other rebel leaders but his philosophy his way of thinking was completely different from this of the others therefore he spared the beautiful city he did not want that but as things stand with only improvisations & constantly attacked one can't achieved much in the long run against the entire mighty Roman army the most powerful on earth at that time then to make a long story short came the retaliation & with all of its consequences but the point I will make here is that exactly of what the french philosopher Voltaire once said that he regard this Spartacus revolution of slaves as the only true & honest revolution of all times in human history .it came out from the horse mouth he proclaim & regard as that by him.
The Romans had some fairly accurate maps of Italia at that time, but nothing nearly as good as shown here. Artistic license by the filmmakers, I guess.
Saul Bass titles set the tone as something larger than life is about to begin. A "thinking men" epic. Scenes between Laughton and Ustinov are simply a delight. Ironically the major part of the movie directed by Kubrick is not that magnificent compared to the first half directed by legendary Anthony Mann who gave us lavish epic like El Cid and The Fall of The Roman Empire.
I think he was kind of like Marlon Brando and did the mumbling delivery to come across as more authentic. It's a respectable acting technique in regards to realism because not everybody has a clear voice but the audience does like to actually hear what the characters are saying.
Funny enough, Andy Whitfield from Spartacus Blood and Sand also spoke a lot under his breathe, making him hard to hear. He only raised his voice a few times. Don't think it was intentional.
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire life.
Totally! Gripping! Inspirational. I'm spartacus!
The "I'm Spartacus" scene is great, but this is probably my favorite scene in the whole film. "A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win." Amazing line and amazing delivery by Kirk Douglas.
My thoughts exactly.
Deep indeed.
The thing is that the pirates aren't slaves. By Spartacus's own words, they would have lost their "pleasure of life" to get "help" Spartacus lose his "pain of life".

Catzilla, you are correct.
He later found out this fella wasn’t a pirate. He just lives in a village down the road. His name is Larry
@@randyayo2846
Larry down the road is a pirate.
Welcome to Somalia.
fantastic scene.
Herbert lom plays the cynical dealmaker to perfection.
such a masterpiece of a film.
Lom could always put an interesting element into his performances. Big roles. Little Roles. Lom always gave it 150%.
Is great in every movie scene including the "city at night"
Wait, that’s Dreyfus?! Didn’t recognize him when he’d not berating Clouseau, lol.
this for me this is problably the best film I have ever watched,,very few special effects,,it didn't need them,,outstanding cast and plot,,we never make these sword and sandal epics now,,Olivier cold as rock,,fantastic show
Go watch the Lotr or The Godfather
And the big battle at the end looks 1000 times superior with real people rather than CGI cartoons marching across a CGI field

...el cid
Spartaculus Jones also he’s amazing in Third Man On The Mountain , Big Fisherman,Seventh Veil
The cast in Spartacus is truly awesome; The cream of the crop of both American and British cinema.
Kirk D. he was one of the best actors ever!!
Herbert Lom ... the very definition of underrated. He was rarely the leading man but he was always their equal
I was just about to ask if that was Herbert Lom- thanks
I liked his acting in the Pink Panther movies. He worked well opposite Peter Sellers.
What a voice Sir Peter possessed ....:)
Tigranes is such a respectable character. Eventhough he knew Spartacus couldn't read, he complemented him by saying he heard Spartacus was from nobility and then let Spartacus correct him.

"I entertained him one afternoon."
"...you?"
"... in the arena"
Dude thought you liked snails for a minute there.
I certainly would want to take his place in the arena if need be. I certainly would want to fight a retiarius💪💪
Kirk Douglas played Ned in Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

such an underrated masterpiece.
This is back when movies were movies, its mostly special effects now with cardboard cutout acting.

@@viborgvee8399 I bet Rick here was born in 1990s and is speaking as if he is from the 40s.
Amen to that.
@@tdx_1138 He's not lying though. Movies after mid-2010s have been complete garbage, with the exception of The Joker and The BatMan.
Farewell Herbert Lom. You did well.

Someone just recommended this. Never saw it before. Incredible.

When you’re a believer this scene is even more powerful!
I love the way Roman Slaves were perfectly - 1950s - coiffured!
😁😁😁
So easy to die, very hard to live, Markus
So true.
KIRK DOUGLAS SIR WAS GREAT GOD OF HOLLYWOOD MOVIES 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏
"What are you going to do?"
Kill them all, slaves dont fear death, the free and the rich do.
Thanks!

Andy and Liam were better. Andy WAS Spartacus.
Kirk was a product of his era and in 1960 the social pressures on a boy or man to have short hair were overwhelming. It wasn't until the Beatles and the "hippie revolution" that men dared to grow their hair longer.
Actually during Roman times men sported low haircuts and clean shaven.
Herbert Lom never gets the credit he deserves.
He was also excellent and very sinister in El Cid.
I'm Spartacus!!!!
The golden ✨️ age of Hollywood 😂
Back when there was 'acting'.
And a script!
Lom is so obsequious!
Funny how in ancient Rome they had hairstylists, make up and perfect razor blades
make up and hairstylist sure they had, regards
They were all slaves and they joined Spartacus.
Kirk Douglas was in 20,000 leagues under the Sea, and Herbert Lom played Captain Nemo on mysterious Island.
The map of Italy is too precise for its time, like an aerial map. Otherwise a great movie, with a legendary cast!
They also had hawks that could draw.
Amazingly high technology! When was the last time you tried to breed your drone?
The ancestors knew geography very well, dont underestimate them.
Spartacus was so right. Death is the only freedom a slave knows.
AWESOME
Douglas spit in Olivier's face, (not in this scene) he also spit in Roland's face in 'Amos'.....does anyone know who elses face Douglas may have spat on beside these two movies??
This, Taruss Bulbasaur, the vikings are favs.
Herbert Lom in the movie says to Kirk Douglas as Spartacus he is Son of Noble Parents and Kirk Douglas as son of Slaves
When your a jet..... your a jet to the end
Still just an Actor but from a different era before Hollywood became Hollyweird, R.I.P Mr. Douglas say hello to Mr. Wayne for me.
I'm Spartacus
They don’t make them like this anymore.
I adore this movie, but I've often wondered why Antoninus never taught Spartacus how to read 😀😀
He says "Knowing we can," I think.

did Herbert Lom actually steal this scene?
Yes. He stole many scenes in many movies to the delight of moviegoers. Good luck.
What does Kirk Douglas say at 2:30? Picture looks really fine!
Cool hand like the ending

"Knowing we cant " [ lose]

At that time it would be completely impossible to have such an accurate map of Italy. 0:09
Why, if I may ask?
Great script by Dalton. But this screen creeps me. How you get a map of the Italy with precise coastline during Ancient Rome?
The Romans had some fairly accurate maps of Italia at that time, but nothing nearly as good as shown here. Artistic license by the filmmakers, I guess.
2:59 music
Death is the only freedom from Inspector Clouseau 🤫
Saul Bass titles set the tone as something larger than life is about to begin.
A "thinking men" epic. Scenes between Laughton and Ustinov are simply a delight.
Ironically the major part of the movie directed by Kubrick is not that magnificent compared to the first half directed by legendary Anthony Mann who gave us lavish epic like El Cid and The Fall of The Roman Empire.
In the Movie Spartacus tells us the story of Slavery
Italy in today's borders ;-)
Dat Chin...
fuking awsome
Cowards always lose
SUCH BRILLIANT SCREENWRITING. DALTON TRUMBO. HE WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!!!
Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
This is Palestine
I wish Kirk Douglas had a clearer voice, he mumbles and speaks under his breath all the time and it is hard to pick out what he is saying.
I think he was kind of like Marlon Brando and did the mumbling delivery to come across as more authentic. It's a respectable acting technique in regards to realism because not everybody has a clear voice but the audience does like to actually hear what the characters are saying.
Funny enough, Andy Whitfield from Spartacus Blood and Sand also spoke a lot under his breathe, making him hard to hear. He only raised his voice a few times. Don't think it was intentional.
