      The effects are still great

      1. They are all involved in Jesus Christ... The ending turned out to be a happy reunion? Shouldn't this be the "Prince of Persia-Blade of Time" and "Prince of Egypt" style of brother-torsion + fighting for the throne, fighting for girls, fighting for honor? ! Doing woolen yarn is a boundless love? 2. The male protagonist's behavior of "assassinating the king and killing the driver" is just a boatman who...

      "Ben-Hur": A Subjective Style Film

      As a remake of a classic movie, being too casual has become the biggest feeling of this movie. The idealized plot design makes the plot of the movie seem particularly naive, and it brings us inspiration and brotherhood. It makes people feel that the relationship between the characters is quite far-fetched, and the inner feelings between the characters are not felt, and there are many complex feelings that people can experience personally. The movie is more like an idol drama routine. The plot...

      Remake is an eternal topic, it depends on whether you accept it or not

      These days...
      There are no men in the film, no incest, and even no cp.
      How can people pay attention?
      No matter how well you shoot, the final result is often criticized and the box office sucks.

      I watched the remake of "Metropolis" by Nen Wufang in 2012. I don't know if David Cronenberg's head was caught in the door or what happened. He even thought of a way to transform the original inability to communicate between the middle classes in "Metropolis" into a The...

      Epic movies go the way of Hollywood commercials

      The classic level of the original version of this film is among the best in the Oscars, and the remake of the classic is also a common practice in movies. Since it is a remake, there will be comparisons, and there will be good and bad points, but it is difficult for the later ones to surpass.
             First of all, the 2016 version of "Ben-Hur" condensed the time from the nearly 4-hour version in 1959 to nearly 2 hours, which is not easy, but such an approach will lose many plots and details...

      21st Century Hollywood Movies From Biblical Times Are Worth Watching

      I finally saw a blockbuster film related to the Bible in the 21st century. The costumes, scenes, and content are all very particular and researched. Another biblical masterpiece after Exodus, I dare not say that many people like this movie, but I am sure that believers who like to watch the Bible will like this movie 100%.
      First of all, let’s talk about the scene. The buildings refer to the ruins of Rome and the layout of ancient Jerusalem. Let’s talk about history. At that time, when Rome...

      5.5 points. If it is a new movie, this work is actually still worth watching, but borrowing the title of the old work of the year, it can only fail. In fact, I think that even the original work is normal, but there were not too many big scenes at that time, so people were more excited to see it. Today's audiences are already fed by the special effects, and I don't feel much after watching...

    Evaluation action

    "Ben-Hur" only has a remake of the coat, the climax is too simplified to reproduce the thrill of watching the 1959 version, and the overly straightforward lines make the overly exaggerated brotherhood become very embarrassing. A remake of a movie is like a double-edged sword. An excellent remake can be the icing on the cake or stand on the shoulders of giants. The remake of "Ben-Hur" did not make the audience more exciting, but became...

    • [from trailer, at start line]

      Messala Severus: You should have stayed away.

      Judah Ben-Hur: You should have killed me.

      Messala Severus: I will.

      [chariot race begins]

    • Jesus: Hate, anger, fear. Those are lies they use to turn you against each other. When you set aside the hate they force you to carry, that's when you know love is our true nature.

    • Judah Ben-Hur: [to Dismas] How many Romans do you even know? Have you ever had a conversation with a single one in your life? Don't spit your hate for all when you don't even know one.
