this scene was censored in the original version because it alludes to crassus bisexuality (too indecent for the 60's) i think it was reinserted in the film just in the 90's.

How I love what censorship does to script writers! Brings out their creativity! Such a creative way to come out as bisexual. :) I'll steal it if I ever need to come out as bisexy.

This is probably the most Kubrickian scene in the entire movie which is otherwise, not very Kubrickian for a Kubrick directed film.

[@leftcoaster67]

The most awkward conversation.

[@DodgerFan1988]

My taste includes both snails and oysters... with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

[@wormwoodpearl1]

^How to come out as bi.

The DVD added the scene back. The film survived without voice work. Curtis was still alive to revoice his share of the track, then aged 66. Olivier was deceased, his voice was done by Anthony Hopkins.

That must have taken a lot of balls doing this scene, knowing the censors would be on their ass for it.

Powerful message and display of psychology. Crassus can take whatever he wants. Him trying to relate the symbolism of his power over his servants reflects on the ideological views of the Roman Empire. Showing Glabrus and his cohorts depart for battle is the power. The sentiments and words are the laws he is speaking. As you see Antoninus wasn't having that.

"Do you steal, Antoninus?" "No, Mastuuhhh."

[@andythorpey1377]

I love the way he buggers off at the mere mention of loving Rome 'Fuck this shit Im off'

[@yoloswaggins1579]

You must love my snail Antoninus.

[@argustuft2394]

Anthony Hopkin's mimicry of Olivier's voice is amazing. You can't tell the difference even when you know.

[@knightsintodreams]

This is Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs) dubbing Laurence Olivier's lines since the original audio had been lost.

[@eddie4324]

If there wasn’t censorship back then this scene wouldn’t be half as good; the subtlety makes this work so well.

[@ISuperLoveMovies]

I think oysters imply a vagina and snails a penis. Thus, when Olivier says he likes both oysters and snails he basically means he likes men and women. :)

[@secondresidenceproductions9749]

Anyone knew that Anthony Hopkins did an impression of Laurence Olivier. The sound of this scene was originally lost, but was recovered for DVD release.

oH mY! "You must love Rome. Bow to her and eat snails and oysters!!" Yep Boy Servant knew what time it was. That bath was just foreplay. "Fetch me the snails and oysters man boy body servant!" He ran off like a thief in the night! Guess he wasn't feeling old dude....

The unsurpassedly accomplished ancient accent of Tony Curtis From whom I also learned duh classics...

Great video. Thanks for sharing. The discussion came up in a screenwriting group. Glad I found this.
