Ben-Hur

Ben-Hur

One was Marcela, a Roman, and the other was Ben-Hur, a Jew. Unexpectedly, the two children meet again, and their childhood friendship is vulnerable to the conflict between the huge power and the fate of the nation. Augustus and Yahweh, to whom do you pledge your allegiance? Conquest and autonomy, who is the way of heaven? Marcella banished Ben-Hur and imprisoned his relatives. The buddies turn their faces, the contest between good and evil, who will ups and downs?
Brilliant keep going.
The Jewish Jesus was also born in the Jewish province of Rome. The atoning love of Jesus is intertwined with Ben-Hur's vengeful hatred, and the contrast between divinity and humanity leads to the second clue of the film. In the end, love triumphs over hate, and the film ends with the forgiveness of Jesus on the cross giving Ben Hun peace of mind and the rebuilding of the family, giving the whole story a deeper meaning.
The film shows the Roman Forum, horse races, and sea battles. It is a rare blockbuster that explores the meaning of Roman politics and Christianity.

    Half a century ago, people were very particular about making movies, at least they didn't wear anything on the cross.

    I think I watched it over and over again in the audio-visual room of the library.

Ben-Hur quotes

  • Sheik Ilderim: Balthasar is a good man. But until all men are like him, we must keep our swords bright!

    Judah Ben-Hur: And our intentions true! So I must leave you.

    Sheik Ilderim: One last thought: There is no law in the arena; many are killed... I hope to see you again, Judah Ben-Hur.

  • Judah Ben-Hur: [dipping a hand in a stream] When the Romans were marching me to the galleys, thirst had almost killed me. A man gave me water to drink, and I went on living. I should have done better if I'd poured it into the sand!

    Balthasar: No.

    Judah Ben-Hur: I'm thirsty still.
