This is a wonderful blockbuster that won 11 awards at the 32nd Academy Awards in 1960. It took more than 3 hours and 40 minutes. It is magnificent and unparalleled. It can be called an epic masterpiece.
I originally thought it was a prince's revenge, meaning never give up. But after reading the film review, I realized that it was a story of Christ, about love and redemption. Divided into two lines, one tells the story of the revenge of the Jewish prince Ben Hur and Judas, and the other tells the story of the birth, redemption and death of Jesus Christ. Through the bright line of Judas to set off the dark line of Jesus, thus showing the theme of love and redemption, love and tolerance are always greater than ruthlessness and revenge.

For me, I was still impressed by Ben-Hur's tenacity. What life will bring us, we never know, but always be strong and persevering, and fate will give you the answer. Never complain about the injustice of fate, because what should come always comes back, to love, to live, and to fight.
