Yeah, but wasn't the movie written by one of those commie traitors who refused to identify others commie traitors? He went to Hollywood and despite the effort of brave and loyal Americans, was helped by other cell members. For all we know, he used/uses the revenue from this movie to continue to support the destruction of America. Just as an act of self-discipline and remeberence of enemies still with us, I don't watch this movie.

"I don't watch this movie."I show Spartacus every year whenever I teach world history. I show this film because there so few content appropriate movies that I can show that are anywhere near the actual history.
But I also show "The Devil's Brigade" with William Holden for WWII and "The Green Berets" with John Wayne for Vietnam. In none of these cases are my liberal fellow teachers very pleased. They don't like Spartacus because it shows slaves rising up with violence against their masters and to them violence under any circumstances is a B-A-D thing. The John Wayne film especially turns their stomachs.
