Recently, I have recommended a lot of American dramas to everyone, but no matter how to recommend, there are always people at the back of the article who leave a message saying that "Spartacus" is the best American drama.
Let's not talk about how good Spartacus really is, but I say that if today's title does not contain the word "large scale", my choice must be "Rome".
Of course, if there is no "large-scale" American drama, it is very selective, such as the Western drama "Lonely Pigeon Town" that I am watching, which is a very good American drama, and the Douban score is as high as 9.4.
But what if you bring "big scale"? The only american dramas that may be called the best American dramas are "Roma" and "Spartacus". The ranking of these two dramas has always been entangled. When I watched "Spartacus", I thought "Spartacus" was good. But when I watched "Rome", I thought "Rome" was good.
Who is the better American drama? Today I will briefly analyze it:
1. In terms of scale, there is no doubt that Spartacus beats Rome.
2. Judging from the acting skills of the actors in the play, "Roma" is better than "Spartacus".
3. From the perspective of the actresses in the play, the actresses in "Spartacus" are younger and prettier than the actresses in "Roma".

4. From the perspective of the struggle for power, the political struggle in "Rome" and the sinister nature of the human heart are even better, and the reason why Spartacus lost to Crassus is that from the management of the human heart and the control of human nature, Spartacus did not have the fierceness of Crassus, nor the insidiousness of Caesar.
5. Analysis of the coherence of the story, the coherence of "Roma" is stronger, and the correspondence between before and after is also more close. The third season of "Spartacus" seems to be torn apart from the first two seasons, and there is no connection. Especially for the villains, the villains in the second season are all dead, and the third season has re-formed a gang.

6. From the perspective of the degree of coolness, "Spartacus" is better, the story of "Spartacus" is simple and direct, and if you don't obey, you will start fighting, which is a more primitive animal nature. And here in "Rome", it is more necessary to use the power of yin and yang to combine.
Like the last thing Urenas did, it was killing in the shadows. Urenas helped Octavian kill thousands of people, all rich people who disobeyed Caesar's rule. After killing, it may be paid to the military, and it can also effectively fight against the opposition.
Octavian couldn't handle these things with his own army, and the gangsters of Urenas could do it. But there is no such thing in Spartacus, and the only conspiracy is that Caesar, as a traitor, blends into the rebel army and instigates and disintegrates the rebel army.
And spartacus used the most is the sneak attack, that is, the biggest conspiracy. Therefore, "Spartacus" gives people the feeling of being more crisp and clean, and it is very simple to fight without submission. "Roma", on the other hand, had to be painstakingly designed before it would attack and so on.
7. The interpersonal relationships in Rome are more complicated, and the grievances in Spartacus are clear, that is, the relationship between Spartacus and the enemy, and then the contradiction between the rebel army and the army of the Roman Republic.
But in Rome, there are no eternal enemies and no lasting interests, such as Antony and Octavian, who fight when they divide the money, but with common interests, when they fight against Brutus, who assassinated Caesar, they are together. This relationship does not exist in Spartacus.
Well, about the comparison of these two dramas, I can only think of this, what else do you think, you can leave a message at the end of the article. Combining the above seven items, Rome 4:3 Spartacus, in my article, Rome is considered the victor.
Of course, this is only my personal opinion, you can publish your own views at the end of the article, but also give me a reference, if appropriate I will be integrated in the next article.
Thanks for reading.
