(November 29, 2021 at 4:01 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Spartacus (1960) - I watched this movie for the first time in years, the first time on a non CRT tv and in HD, and I am still under the impression, days later.
But there is this theme going on through the movie as if people in the times "before Jesus" suffered that there is no God like Jesus. Like the scene in which Kirk Douglas says something like "If only there was a God for slaves" -- but what about a God who will abolish slavery altogether, Kirk?
Loved Spartacus when it first came out (apart from Laurence Olivier chewing the scenery)
It was filmed in 70mm, then released on 35 mm. Made it a gorgeous film to watch. Today I prefer the 2004 remake. It's very clear the 1960 version was restricted by the mores of the day.
