the movie? It can touch the soul, and even stir the soul, making it from confusion to firmness, from numbness to sensitivity, and from exhaustion to action, perhaps it is a classic.
Ben-Hur has been in the hard drive for a long time, and I haven't acted for more than three hours, but it is a film that should not be given up after watching the ranking, so I have kept it until now. When I happened to be idle, I thought, after reading the seventh seal, are you still afraid of anything else? Thus, the three-hour faith journey was completed.
Ben-Hur turned out to be the protagonist's name, and his full name is Judas, Ben-Hur. I always thought it would be Judas who betrayed Jesus, so I imagined a story of a preacher betrayed by his followers, but Ben-Hur really isn't that Judas. Ben-Hur was a prince, and as a nobleman among the Jews, he was only the object of control in the Roman Empire. After Abraham, the Jews had faith in following God. However, over time, miracles and revelation have become myths and legends, and even become a tool for slave owners to control slaves. God continued to use Abraham, Moses, Joshua, etc. to manifest power to mortals, but failed to make mortals respect them; God continued to punish mortals with floods, fires, and epidemics, but failed to make mortals remember them all. So, God sent Jesus to the world.
Before Ben-Hur testified to Jesus, his belief was just a habit. The so-called habit, he knew what it was and didn't know why. He was more about love for his relatives and loyalty to the Jews. Before meeting Jesus, he had been crushed by a series of blows. Jesus is always a back figure in the film, however, you can imagine what kind of saint he is by seeing the expression on his face. The glass of water of Jesus gave Ben-Hur vitality; the face of Jesus gave Ben-Hur energy.
At this time, Ben-Hur, supported by the idea of revenge, went to the sea. With every oar, every whipping, he silently recited the name of his enemy. God let such a powerful man witness miracles, so because of "a strange luck", he not only survived, but also rescued the Roman consul. The latter not only restored his status as a free man, but also gave Ben-Hur a ring that symbolized his status, and recognized Ben-Hur as his adopted son.
But Ben-Hur can't settle in the hedonistic Rome, and he wants to return to his hometown to take revenge and save his mother and sister. Strange fate made him meet an Arab chief who was going to race a horse with Ben Hur's enemy, so he finally completed his revenge on the arena by horse racing.
The fire of vengeance has not subsided, and he will burn the flames to the Roman Empire. His wife said at this time: Ben-Hur, your fire of vengeance has turned you into the same enemy you were back in the day. The implication is that this kind of revenge is as brutal.
He doesn't care what people say about Jesus' holiness. But his wife, after listening to one of Jesus' sermons, knew the truth. His wife finally made him agree to go to Jesus with his leper mother and sister.
The place turned out to be the court where Jesus was sentenced. There, Jesus fell at his feet, and the soldiers overturned the bowl of water he had brought him, but that could not stop him from seeing the face of the Holy One again: full of suffering, but very peaceful.
The kindness of a bowl of water was not repaid, but the two meetings made him shed hot tears for Jesus under the cross.
The precious blood of Jesus flows on the earth, washing away the sins and sufferings of mortals; Ben-Hur kissed his mother and sister's clean face that was washed by the precious blood, and murmured: Jesus' last words were, Heavenly Father, forgive them , they don't know what they're doing.
