    The first three hours were all masterpieces. After watching the special effects of this one, you can understand that "2001: A Space Odyssey" is not a standout. The rhythm is too slow and sensational, and it's really a bit frustrating. I glanced at the 25-year edition and found that, especially the horse racing section, it was almost completely copied and dropped one...

    Watching "The Celluloid Closet" today and found Gore Vidal personally confirming Ben-Hur and Messala's relationship. The movie is long, but not...

    After going in a big circle for 3 hours, the last half hour revealed the essence of preaching religion. According to the information, MGM's lion does not bark because of religious elements, and it should be seen at the beginning! But the war horse scene is really good. I think the male protagonist is obviously like Patrick Wilson, and also very similar to Paul Newman when he was young. The friends all say that he looks like Arnold, and he is black. . . @Film...

    Rating: B+ It's really great. It's a pity that the last paragraph is too preachy. The character of Ben-Hur's wife seems to be brainwashed = = It's an epic masterpiece that is worth watching on the big screen, and it doesn't feel long at...

    Love action movies, with magnificent scenes and finely crafted action scenes, are comparable to today's blockbusters. 1959 can have such a production level. No wonder the standard of Western blockbusters can be so high. The picture is comparable to an oil painting, the story is full, the character lines are clear, it is indeed a first-class...

    Long-awaited his name, see you today. The 11 Oscar-added works of nearly 4 hours are shot with current film technology, and 2.5 hours is enough: the main reason is that the emotional expressions of the actors take too long, and all kinds of big scenes also take time... But it was the detailed description of many huge crowd scenes that shocked me, especially the part about the horse racing, which made me even more nervous and admired. From this, I feel that this is a realistic epic...

    "Ben-Hur" Who can save the Jewish people's millennia of suffering?

    An epic masterpiece, a movie full of mysterious religious colors. The story takes place around the time of the crucifixion of Jesus. The poor Jews, after the fall of their country, were treated as second-class citizens by the Romans. They were expelled from their homeland, and for some...

    Ben Hur——Christian spirit, benevolence, fraternity, great love

    The Jewish prince Ben-Hur of Judea and the new Roman commander Mesera were good friends when they were young. Mesera asked Ben-Hur to cooperate with his brutal rule of the Jews, and asked Ben-Hur to hand over the Jews who wanted to rebel against Rome. Xu firmly refused, saying he could not...
