:26:02
It was a difficult task because
we all had different acting styles.
:26:06
Olivier and Laughton hated each other.
It was like two dogs.
:26:11
I'll take republican corruption
along with republican freedom. . .
:26:15
. . .but I won't take
the dictatorship of Crassus. . .
:26:19
. . .and no freedom at all!
:26:24
That's what he's out for,
and that's why he'll be back.
:26:28
I think he was 30 years old
when he did it.
:26:31
Yeah, working with Olivier and
Charles Laughton. He was fearless.
:26:35
If he was terrified, he didn't show it,
because he knew he mustn't.
:26:40
I think he had
an extraordinary ability. . .
:26:43
. . .to concentrate
on what is important. . .
:26:46
. . .he did not allow himself
to be sidetracked.
:26:49
And even if it was
emotional turmoil. . .
:26:53
. . .and great worry he wouldn't...
:26:56
Perhaps it's a chess-playing thing...
He wouldn't allow it. . .
:26:59
. . .to influence him.
:27:02
And I think that very soon
the actors noticed:
:27:04
"Oh, yeah, you know,
we're quite safe. "
:27:07
Traveled a long ways together.
:27:10
Fought many battles.
:27:13
Won great victories.
:27:15
Now, instead of taking ship for our
homes across the sea. . .
:27:20
. . .we must fight again.
:27:23
Maybe there's no peace in this world. . .
:27:25
. . .for us or for anyone else.
I don't know.
:27:30
But I do know. . .
:27:32
. . .that as long as we live. . .
:27:34
. . .we must stay true to ourselves.
:27:37
Its great virtue was. . .
:27:38
. . .it was the only film of that kind
that didn't have Jesus in it.
:27:43
There was no trace of Christianity
in Spartacus really.
:27:46
There was faith, but not Christianity.
:27:50
If Kirk wants to be rewarded for his
courage, which I'd be the first. . .
:27:55
. . .to make a film like that
without Jesus but with Kubrick. . .
:27:58
. . .is already
a tremendous achievement.
