Remember history

For this film, every aspect and every detail impressed me. The chariot race, one of the climaxes of the film, and the scenes in such high-speed motion, were shot so comfortably, wonderfully, clearly, and clearly, without even using the method of "film synthesis", it was a real shot! So surprising! And the content of the film is even more touching. "Forgiveness" - the movie is talking about this difficult topic. Perhaps it is the difference between Chinese and Western cultures that made me think, should we Chinese also forgive those who invaded our country? In fact, not only Jesus, the representative of Western religions, teaches people to forgive, but Buddhism, the representative of Chinese or Asian religions, also spreads forgiveness. "Have mercy and forgiveness"! I think that we should remember history and promote the anti-Japanese spirit, not for us to hate the Japanese or Germans, let alone for revenge, but to remember history, remember the mistakes we made, and stop letting history and darkness The historical reappearance, repeat the same mistakes! If you haven't seen this film, then I recommend you to watch it, you will appreciate many things, especially all kinds of modern people...

    The pinnacle of religious cinema. Oil painting-like scenes, poetic language, exciting soundtrack, exquisite costumes, Shakespearean stories, every picture is so exquisite, how many words of praise can't describe this movie! The DVD I watched before, this year on the big screen, the effect is even better, be sure to watch it on the big screen! - Film Archive

    I just want to know is this Judas the one who betrayed Jesus? And the 30-minute horse racing bunker, why technology can't replace the real thing, just read this paragraph to understand

Ben-Hur quotes

  • Centurion: There's a Jew outside. He wants to see the Tribune Messala.

    Messala: I assume he has a name.

    Centurion: [sneeringly] He says he's a prince, Prince Judah Ben-Hur.

    Messala: [loud and quickly] Then treat him like one!

    [quietly]

    Messala: Tell him I'll join him.

    [the centurion starts to leave, and Messala shouts again]

    Messala: CENTURION!

    [Again quietly]

    Messala: This was his country before it was ours. Don't forget that.

    Centurion: Yes, Tribune.

    [the centurion then goes out]

    Sextus: That was very wise. This Judah Ben-Hur is the son of one of the wealthiest families in Judea.

  • [Quintas Arrius wakes up, chained, on ship debris; the chain is held by Judah]

    Quintus Arrius: Why did you save me?

    Judah Ben-Hur: Why did you have me unchained?

    [they struggle briefly, Arrius is overpowered; he looks at the shackle on Judah's ankle]

    Quintus Arrius: What is your name, Forty-One?

    Judah Ben-Hur: Judah Ben-Hur.

    Quintus Arrius: Judah Ben-Hur. Let me die.

    Judah Ben-Hur: [ironically] We keep you alive to serve this ship. Row well, and live.
