in kubrick's spartacus, all slaves are prisoners in the end. romans want to kill spartacus. so they search for him.
they promise all slaves to be freed if they show who is spartacus, dead or alive.
spartacus douglas wants to save all his slave companions and antoninus curtiss gets up on his feet at the same time he does, both say:
I'm SPARTACUS!
and all slaves get up on their feet and saying:
I'm SPARTACUS!!!
all slaves die crucified (i think we can't imagine what it means to die crucifying... only jesus H christ knows it)
to be free, drop jelly doughnuts, get up on your feet, stand up and, against all of which is american dream, say:
I'M SPARTACUS!!!
