Below we start spoiler introduction, another mention, all the pictures in this article have been deleted from the scale lens, can be safe to eat.
Well, without further ado, let's take a look at this great American drama , Spartacus.
At the beginning of the film, the man wakes up from his cell under the Kapua Arena, with chains in his hands, and is lost and confused.
What had happened a few days earlier had completely disrupted his life, and he could only look at his hands in a daze for the duel that was about to begin, and it was also the execution—the execution of him.
Above him, a duel was underway, with the unclothed slaves pitting heavily armed gladiators, which looked like a massacre. Spectators in the stands shouted and watched the bloody show.
The slave eventually fell, and the blood seeped down the ground and dripped onto the man in the basement. He had nowhere to run. Although he was like a trapped beast that was bound to die, there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart, and this fire came from his wife Sulla.
He was originally a warrior in Thrace, and the Roman legionary general Grebo recruited them to join them on the condition of helping Thrace defend against their old enemy, Geita.
The men agreed to the recruitment agreement to protect their village.
About to wear armor for the battle, the man returns home to say goodbye to his wife Sula.
He told Sulla that when the Geitas were eradicated, he would go home and hoe the fields, raise chickens and feed the geese, and spend the rest of her life with her in the village.
Sula smiled, she thought her man should go to the battlefield to destroy the enemy, and the pastoral life was not suitable for him. It's just a woman's innate intuition that makes her vaguely uneasy.
The spring supper is short, and the two cling to the warmth before parting, not knowing that the sky will dawn.
The next day, the warriors who went to war said goodbye to their families at the intersection, and the heroine became more and more uneasy and worried in her heart, and he told the male protagonist that he had a dream last night, and dreamed that he fell to his knees and knelt under a red snake, which was a warning, telling him that if he participated in the war, there would be disasters.
The male protagonist comforts Sula that this is just a dream, blood and glory cast a man, he will survive, go home and reunite with her. Then he ripped the cloth strip from himself and tied it to his wife's leg with his own hands, telling her that this was the bond between them and would always accompany her.
However, when the Thracian legions actually fought fiercely on the battlefield, they found that they could not see the shadow of the Collaborator Roman Legion at all.
Rome only used them as cannon fodder, and when their victory was decided, it slowly came out to clean up the remnants of the army. This also made the male protagonist and the rest of the Thracian legion soldiers dissatisfied.
The Roman legionnaire, Grebo, wanted the Thracian warriors to join them in their crusade to the Black Sea, rather than to eradicate the Geitas together.
The male protagonist disobeyed the Roman order and was forced to kill the bodyguard during the conflict.
After the discussion, everyone decided to flee the battlefield and survive individually, and the male protagonist had no choice but to return to the village to find his wife Sula.
The man hurried back to his hometown, and after getting rid of the Gaita who were preparing to sneak attack, decided to flee with his wife from the village that had been breached and burned.
Unexpectedly, after a night of entanglement, it was difficult to escape the roundup, and Grebo arrested the male owner for desertion and sold Sulla into slavery.
The male protagonist is captured, wants to bear it alone, and prays to let Sula go.
Unaware that Greber wanted him to be a scapegoat for his defeat in battle. It is impossible to let him live, knock the male protagonist unconscious and take him away, and ignore it at all.
The man who woke up after a few days of coma was tied up on a cargo ship bound for Capua.
He asked the person across from him anxiously if he knew Sula's whereabouts, and the man just shook his head helplessly.
Persuade him to forget—because he knows that there is little hope of survival.
The camera pans to Batitas at a cocktail party in Capua with two famous gladiators, Kress and Barca.
Not wanting to be stolen by rival Marcus, he brought in 6 gladiators. This upset Batitas.
He has recently struggled financially, and is bent on training gladiators to get closer to politicians so that he can climb up the political arena with their ladders.
His wife, Rudia, shares the same smell as him, and is also scheming, but she has other thoughts.
On the deathbed of the reception, Grebo brought 6 Thracen deserters and announced that they would be tried and executed in the arena tomorrow.
On the one hand, he wanted to exonerate himself for the defeat in battle, and on the other hand, he wanted to show it in front of his father-in-law, who did not have a good impression of him.
His wife, Ilysia, also took the opportunity to whisper in her father's ear about the benefits of Grebel, but her father, who had been in the field for a long time, had already seen the flaws in the young general's personality.
His defeat on the battlefield was not accidental. This had long been heard of the arrogance and cruelty of the young commander, but it was only for the sake of pampering his daughter's face and did not punish him.
Coldly told her daughter that the next time, her crying would not work.
The camera cuts back to the beginning of the film, where the man wakes up from under the arena and is put on the arena.
After unshackling him, the soldiers gave him a sword and gave him the last decency.
Through the cage, he saw the execution of his companions, and the audience cheered and enjoyed the bloody performance and shouted for the execution. The companion slowly fell to the ground and was thrown into the corner like a waste. Before dying, he smiled with relief.
The male protagonist is on the field, unexpected but not a simple duel, his opponent is 4 gladiators!
The audience was a little boisterous, they would prefer to see a fair duel, and Greber and his wife explained that this Thrace deserter was the worst offender, and even if more gladiators were used, they would kill the chickens and monkeys to ensure that he was executed.
This is an unfair duel, the male protagonist has been defeated and retreated, many heavy injuries, just as he fell to his knees and was ready to give up resistance, he saw the pattern on the soldier's shield -
A red snake.
The red snake in his wife's dream that witnessed his death.
He remembered his wife's words and understood that he had to fight desperately to live to have a chance to save his wife.
As if possessed by the gods, he killed 4 gladiators in one go.
He had to live for that belief! The situation that Greber had carefully prepared was so broken that he felt a little incredible.
The audience admired the courage and strength of the men and cried out "live",
Grebel also made a last-ditch effort to persuade his father-in-law to execute the man, but the senator said that he must not offend the public anger and go against the will of the people at this time.
Batitas seemed to see a miracle in this man, and he proposed to adopt him as a new group of gladiators, and let him decide his life and death in the arena.
This not only satisfies the public opinion now, but also serves the purpose of making decisions everywhere - after all, there are not many new people who can survive in the arena, or rather, live forever.
He also brought a new name to this "unknown person" -
The senator stood up and announced —
In a gesture peculiar to Rome, he pointed his thumb upwards, showing respect and affirmation—
Pardon the man's capital crime as a deserter, let him, live!
Tens of thousands of spectators cheered in unison, for this warrior who defeated four gladiators alone!
Blood! glory! Cast my body!
From then on, the man had a new name, a name that resounded throughout the Colosseum and would also become a nightmare in Rome - Spartacus!
What happened to Spartacus after that? Why did batitas, the gladiator trainer, save Spartacus, and what was his purpose? Can Sparta's wife get his wife Sulla back? Please look at the next episode illustration -
