    Aside from the big scenes and acting skills, these epic religious films made me unknowingly sensitive to the concept of political correctness before I knew the concept of political correctness. As a result, today there is no enthusiasm for any work of art that has nothing but political...

    truly epic! Well-made, well-detailed, classically narrated, and a grand soundtrack, it can be said to have all the advantages of an epic film. In particular, the scene at the racetrack is simply unparalleled, the scene scheduling is too strong, and the feeling in the cinema is extremely shocking. In fact, the heroic epics of the ancient Roman era are all the same. From Spartacus to Ben Hur to gladiators to Rome, they are all typical ancient tragic heroic...

    Compared with the current commercial blockbusters, there is less noise and irritability, and the epic flavor is stronger, but the personal elements mixed in the epic film are too strong, and the sense of the times has been overhead as the background, which is a bit stingy. Although the appearance of Jesus can make up for the lack of connotation, the handling of the part of Jesus in the film is abrupt and abrupt, so that the ending is almost a naked preaching of meaning. (The faceless Jesus film...

    The 9.2-point William Wheeler epic masterpiece still looks spectacular, and 11 awards are well deserved. Perhaps it has something to do with the hopelessness of work now. Even watching movies is all about work. Ben-Hur can recognize the Romans as his father for the future, but everything is insignificant in front of the future. Complete freedom does not exist, and perhaps neither does perfect...

    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~...

    9. I didn't take a few directing lessons in my freshman year, so the teacher showed us the part of the Ben-Hur racecar. Three and a half hours is not long at all, and it really lives up to its reputation. The only downside is that the blood is too...

    A giant piece that costs the equivalent of 13.4 tons of gold to make. Shooting with 65mm film, the cost of the film alone is equivalent to 1.1 tons of gold, and only 1/263 of the final 1.25 million feet of film remains in the finished film. The carriage chase scene makes people wonder how it was made, it's completely incredible. Leone, who directed the carriage chase, said in an interview that William Wheeler forced them to watch the 25-year-old Ben Hur carriage chase every night for two and a...

    epic saga

    If my dad didn't know where to download this movie and tell me that it was super classic and won 11 Oscars that year, I probably wouldn't be interested in watching this movie. But after reading it, I feel that 3 hours and 40 minutes of my life are not wasted. It should have been given 5 stars, but...

    Just finished watching the 1959 edition of Ben-Hur.

    As a Jewish prince, the male protagonist was first destroyed by Rome and became a second-class citizen, and then he was framed by a petty man, and he was made a coolie. Become a leper, beyond recognition, life is better than death.

    Self, one's...

Ben-Hur quotes

  • [Judah confronts Esther and Malluch in the Valley of the Lepers]

    Judah Ben-Hur: [angrily, to Esther] Why did you tell me they were dead?

    Esther: It was what they wanted. Judah, I must not betray this faith. Will you do this for them?

    Judah Ben-Hur: Not to see them?

    Esther: [seeing Miriam and Tirzah approach] They are coming... Judah! Judah, love them in the way they most need to be loved: not to look at them! Judah, let it be as though you had never come here. Please, Judah!

    [Judah hides behind a boulder as Esther goes to meet Miriam]

    Miriam: Is Judah well? Is he happy?

    [Judah's face twists in anguish]

    Esther: Yes. He is well. Your mind can be at rest for him. He is well, Miriam.

    Miriam: [taking the basket of food] God be with you.

    [Miriam and Tirzah go back into their cave]

    Esther: [going back to Judah] They are gone. We can go back.

    Judah Ben-Hur: [bitterly] Go back... to what?

    Esther: Judah, they have one blessing left: to think you remember them as they were. Live your own life. Forget what is here.

    Judah Ben-Hur: Forget? It's as if they were alive in a grave!

    Esther: But what can you do?

    Judah Ben-Hur: Undo what you've done! How could you have suffered them to come here? I must see them!

    Esther: No Judah, please! Judah!

    [Judah starts toward the cave but is stopped by Malluch]

    Esther: Oh, think, Judah, *think*! It will tear them apart if they see you!

  • Sheik Ilderim: One God, that I can understand; but one wife? That is not civilized.

    [nudges Judah]

    Sheik Ilderim: It is not generous!
