In the movie, Ben-Hur appears as a wealthy businessman until Misara (like a character who has been robbed of his soul by Satan, and in addition to his lust for power, denigrates his beliefs) arrives. A touch of sadness is shown when the woman he loves is about to go away to marry, and besides, he is a wealthy businessman who is idle (I guess he has nothing to do), because the business is well managed by the housekeeper. Of course, his idleness did not appear in the movie, but it can be speculated in the later episodes: he at least lived a life of adherence to principles. This is the basic character of a saint.
On the way to be escorted as a prisoner on death row, he was so thirsty that he said "God, help me!", and came across Jesus to save him. It was only at this time that his spiritual journey of becoming a saint began. At this time, the ordeal had just begun, and hatred filled his chest. Even without Jesus giving him water to drink, he could survive by relying on the original Jewish monotheistic belief and hatred.
The scene that shocked me the most was when he was pulled out of the life he could have had nothing to do and comfortable with, or he had asked for it at all, and was thrown into the queue of death row prisoners passing through the hometown of Jesus, and, just thirsty, As if dying. This kind of transformation is unbearable for ordinary people. Even if the body is very good, it will fall under the pressure of the spirit. Later, he was tortured on a warship, which was impossible to add. Perhaps, only in this way can a wealthy businessman be sharpened into a saint, otherwise the saints will all come from fishermen who are already struggling to survive.
