Spartacus<\/a>: damn, I can’t believe I never saw this film before. Another masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick<\/a>: for the moral message, the cinematography, love, and epicness:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So to start off, I want to share some philosophical takeaways I got from this film:<\/p>\n

Spartacus Philosophy<\/h1>\n

1. One individual can change the world<\/h2>\n

\"death<\/p>\n

The first takeaway: that even one individual can make a massive difference! True fact: Spartacus<\/a> was actually a historical figure, and the movie runs quite true to the accounts given by Plutarch on Spartacus<\/a>. Spartacus was indeed a slave of Thracian descent, who was a gladiator and did lead a slave rebellion against the mighty Roman Empire.<\/p>\n

2. Love<\/h2>\n

Second, the film made me contemplate a lot about love, Cindy, and having a future child (hope).<\/p>\n

The cinematography that shows love (phenomenal acting by Kirk Douglas) and Jean Simmons who played Virinia. Also the soundtrack (the love one) in the film is probably one of the most heart-touching soundtracks I have heard.<\/p>\n

3. Start a movement \/\/ inspire the hearts of many<\/h2>\n
