This movie is really awesome! For example, the horse racing part is very classic. In 1959, it can be seen that the production team's intentions can be ruled out. After watching it, I also carefully understood the production of this film. The director William Wheeler is a very well-known director in the United States, and the film is in production. In order to create a real naval battle scene, the producer deliberately found an expert who insisted on studying ancient Roman warships. And for this film, the most profound thing for me should be Jesus. From the beginning of a film to the end of a film, there is not a real positive shot, the cry at the birth of the first scene, the scene when Ben-Hur was dispatched. The back, even in the final execution, there is no complete frontal shot, but those who have seen him have all noticed the kindness on his face. Perhaps it is because of this kindness that Ben Xu forgets hatred and purifies his heart. This film mainly wants to express the ideological pursuit of life and the pursuit of a fair destiny. Ben-Hur's life was lonely, but also extremely upright.

Years later, I will definitely still remember today's movie viewing experience. After the six-minute prelude, I slowly opened such a large-screen format and exquisite picture quality in the dark. A stern, such a great movie was presented. I believe William Wheeler and Lay Weng Nai will also be pleased; it is hard to imagine that such a grand scene was shot more than half a century ago without special effects.

The first three hours were all masterpieces. After watching the special effects of this one, you can understand that "2001: A Space Odyssey" is not a standout. The rhythm is too slow and sensational, and it's really a bit frustrating. I glanced at the 25-year edition and found that, especially the horse racing section, it was almost completely copied and dropped one star.

[first lines and off-screen]
Balthasar: [narrating, off screen] In the Year of our Lord, Judea - for nearly a century - had lain under the mastery of Rome. In the seventh year of the reign of Augustus Caesar, an imperial decree ordered every Judean each to return to his place of birth to be counted and taxed. The converging ways of many of them led to the gates of their capital city, Jerusalem, the troubled heart of their land. The old city was dominated by the fortress of Antonia, the seat of Roman power, and by the great golden temple, the outward sign of an inward and imperishable faith. Even while they obeyed the will of Caesar, the people clung proudly to their ancient heritage, always remembering the promise of their prophets that one day there would be born among them a redeemer to bring them salvation and perfect freedom.

Messala: [greedily] Drusus, as a boy I dreamed of commanding this garrison. And now the wheel has turned. Now, I am in command.
