The film is very long, and I have a lot of feelings. First of all, the picture, color and composition have been perfected, as if Livy and Tacitus were telling you a story for four hours; secondly, the soundtrack is impeccable as the soundtrack of an epic movie, especially It was the part of the horse race that made me excited to follow the movie for a long time; again, talking about the movie itself, this movie reminded me of a question that had been put on hold for a long time, which is the real Jewish people at the time of Jesus' crucifixion in Matthew's Gospel. It is a bystander mentality or a spectator mentality. While saying that this is the king of Israel, he is essentially indifferent to his suffering. There are so many Jews, and no one has done anything to the very small number of ruling class Romans. It is believed that the fall of Rome was almost the contradiction between the inferior mode of production and the disproportionate number of freedmen and slaves, 200,000 freemen and 800,000 slaves. This ratio cannot be called difficult to overthrow Roman rule. As the saying goes, "Before the rooster crows, you must deny me three times." Peter's behavior almost represents the weakness of this nation. Other nations can also reflect a lot of introspection from this mirror, and even I think God is right. The punishment of the Jews for two thousand years of wandering has nothing to do with Judas, but for their extreme egoism, because the former is an individual bowing to the forces of evil, and the latter is a collective aphasia, just like they faced a concentration camp. In addition, this horse race was copied almost exactly as it was in the first part of the "Star Wars" prequel (young Anakin Racing). On the contrary, I think the ending tastes very strange, and this horse race is very Christian: Forgiving you does not mean that I have to endure your evil deeds to oppress me, so doing it is not in line with human nature at all, that kind of behavior is unique The truth of Jesus, and people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, what can actually be done is: above the bottom line according to natural law, if you do not harm me, I will no longer care about you, but once you exceed this point, then I will punish you. Although God expelled Adam from Eden, he gave man freedom of movement and spirituality. From this, it can be seen that man is by no means only a nameless body, but—if the noble and the lowly are your destiny. Which one to choose depends on what you do. The connotation of Ben-Hur's prayer when he falls is: Ask God to make me noble and strong, not: Ask God to make me humble and weak. In the same way, Ben-Hur grabbed the horsewhip when Misala whipped himself with the horsewhip, took it into his hand and beat Misala in the opposite direction. This is the nobility of a person, just like Ben-Hur is the only one who gives water to Christ. is as noble as the other, because—in the racetrack I respect not the soul of the opponent, but his mode. Roma's Athletics Famous, but I don't use brutality first, nor give up that right. Here, Ben-Hur shows the perfect unity of Plato's theory of ideas and Christianity, and as I write these analytical words, I finally understand why this horse race has made me so emotionally turbulent. That's why the ending made me feel rather unhappy. But even at the end, it's still the best epic I've seen so far, and it's no accident that it swept 11 Academy Awards.
