A classic in the movie. The grandness of the scene caused a buzzword in Hong Kong at that time called "Ben-Hur is such a big scene". The scene scheduling is really awesome, and it is most clearly reflected in the racing scene. Not only do people take their place, but even the horses are very obedient to the command. No matter how messy it is, there are degrees. This kind of scheduling ability is even more valuable in that era when there were no special effects. After reading it in its entirety, I don't feel it is too long. Every frame is like a classical oil painting. The Taoist costumes are very elegant, and the restoration of the building is estimated to burn money. In short, it is a big production with conscience. The soundtrack adds a heavy epic feel, like the three-day-long lingering after watching the film. Heston's big blue eyes are so charming, showing a tenacity that fits the character, and his masculine face resembles a tragic hero who came out of a classical epic. The real protagonist is actually a faceless Christ, essentially a religious sermon. The friendship between a man and a man who broke up because of political opinions carries the "confrontation of two ideas" in line with the religious theme, but it also reflects some modern ideas, such as the system's suppression of individuals, the idea is more difficult to destroy than the body and so on. The characters are full and real, and even the four white horses have different temperaments.

An epic play, it's amazing... (Because of the early age, the scenes describing the Roman Empire are not as gorgeous as the later "Gladiator", but apart from the pictures, it does not affect his classics at all~ ~)

Tiberius Caesar: [Tiberius Caesar sees Judah Ben-Hur, in Arrius' chariot] This man riding beside you, who is he?
Quintus Arrius: The man who saved me, divine Emperor, to return and serve you.
Tiberius Caesar: Is that all you know of him?
Quintus Arrius: No. He was accused of an attack on the governor of Judea. But he was innocent.
Tiberius Caesar: If not, there is a strange inconsistency in this man, who tries to kill my governor, yet saves the life of my Consul. Come tomorrow, and we will talk of him.

Judah Ben-Hur: If I cannot persuade them, that does not mean I will help you... *murder* them. Besides, you must understand this, Messala. I believe in the past of my people, *and* in their future.
Messala: Future? You are a conquered people!
Judah Ben-Hur: You may conquer the land; you may slaughter the people. But that is not the end. We will rise again.
