Film Review: Spartacus
What is clearly justified by the historical sources
In Stanley Kubrick s film of Spartacus, many events that are documented
in the historical sources are accurately portrayed. In the film, we see
Spartacus and other slaves seize kitchen implements from the cookhouse
in which they are eating and attack the guards. This is clearly
justified by Plutarch in Fall of the Roman Empire; "seventy-eight, who
realised this, managed to act in time and get away, armed with choppers
and spits which they seized from some cookhouse".
The film shows that in the summer of 73 BC, "about seventy slaves
escaped from Batiatus s training school at Capua and established a
defensible position on Mount Vesuvius some thirty kilometres away. "
This is clearly justified by the historical sources and is accurately
portrayed in the film.
The film also correclty portrays the Cilicians pulling out of an
agreement with Spartacus, in which they were going to transport slaves
to Sicily. The Cilicians are bribed by the Romans to pull out of the
agreement, so that they can quell the slave revolt. This left the slaves
trapped near Rhegium in the Peninsula of Brittium, and with armies
marching towards them from north and east, Spartacus was left with no
choice but to turn and face Crassus...
What is contradicted by the historical sources
In the film, Spartacus says that he was a slave from birth and that his
father before him was also a slave. However, this is contradicted by
accounts of Spartacus life. It is said that he had once served with the
military service with the Romans and was then later sold as a slave.
The next contradiction is when, in the film, Spartacus leads the slaves
to cross the Alps where they would disperse and go to their homes.
However, Plutarch claims that the slaves had not agreed with Spartacus
plan: "His men however, would not listen to him. They were strong in
numbers and full of confidence, and they went about Italy ravaging
everything in their way.1"
One of the most incorrectly portrayed events in the film is when
spartacus dies. In the film, Spartacus is crucified after being forced
to have a gladiatorial fight with his close friend. However, it is
documented that Spartacus actually died in battle, when he ran at
Crassus: "Though he did not reach Crassus, he cut down two centurions
who fell on him together."
What has been added in
In the film, Spartacus falls in love with a kitchen slave who he takes
with him and who eventually has his child. However, none of this is
documented in the historical sources and was probably added in to have
the seemingly mandatory love interest that is in Hollywood movies.
Along with Spartacus wife comes Spartacus baby son who was born
shortly before he died. This has been added in by the film makers,
probably to give the story an element of happiness in the end because
after the birth of Spartacus son, his blood line is continued even
though he is now dead.
It is clear that the film Spartacus is not a completely historically
accurate depiction of the actual events that happened around 73BC.
Instead, it has taken certain events and dramatised them in order to
keep entertainment value high and keep the viewers interested. However,
in doing this, the film has become less historically accurate to the
extent
