pinnacle of art

Every frame is a thick history, gorgeous art. It not only shines with the brilliance of human nature, but also is full of philosophy. I can't imagine that this is actually a work of the 1950s. Clothing, accessories, armor, chariots, buildings, gardens, fountains, music, and seats are all artistic. Bright colors, rich characters, full plot, gorgeous and extravagant props. It also brings us profound philosophies, gives us infinite enlightenment, makes us full of hope, makes us live more clearly, and allows us to pursue the meaning of life. Tell us what we should do to have a truly good life.

    William Wheeler is such an all-rounder, how can he master epic blockbusters with ease, whether it is the color picture or the action scenes, they are all worthy of masterpieces, especially the rhythm of the rhythm on the boat and the speed of the horse racing, it is really thrilling. , in the story, both the revenge plot keeps the entertainment level, and the crucifixion of Jesus conveys the religious spirit, so the film length of nearly four hours does not seem that long.

    Compared with the current commercial blockbusters, there is less noise and irritability, and the epic flavor is stronger, but the personal elements mixed in the epic film are too strong, and the sense of the times has been overhead as the background, which is a bit stingy. Although the appearance of Jesus can make up for the lack of connotation, the handling of the part of Jesus in the film is abrupt and abrupt, so that the ending is almost a naked preaching of meaning. (The faceless Jesus film is a great deal)

Ben-Hur quotes

  • Quintus Arrius: [startled from sleep by Judah's arrival] Why are you here?

    Judah Ben-Hur: I was ordered to report to you during my relief.

    Quintus Arrius: Oh yes, I had forgotten.

    [he rises]

    Quintus Arrius: You could have killed me as I lay there! You're a condemned man, why didn't you?

    Judah Ben-Hur: I'm not ready to die.

    Quintus Arrius: What do you think will save you?

    Judah Ben-Hur: The God of my fathers.

    Quintus Arrius: Your God has forsaken you. He has no more power than the images I pray to. My gods do not help me. Your God will not help you. I might. Does that interest you, Forty-One?

    [pause]

    Quintus Arrius: I can see that it does. I'm a fighting man by profession, and in my leisure moments, it amuses me to train fighting men. I own some of the best gladiators and charioteers in Rome. Would you like to become one of them?

    Judah Ben-Hur: To die as your slave?

    Quintus Arrius: Better than to live in chains below these decks.

    Judah Ben-Hur: I will not be here forever.

    Quintus Arrius: No? What would you do, if you escaped?

    Judah Ben-Hur: Two people were condemned with me, my mother and sister, even though they were innocent. I will not rest...

    Quintus Arrius: [interrupting] You do not say that you were innocent.

    Judah Ben-Hur: Would it do any good to say it again?

    Quintus Arrius: No. Now consider my offer carefully. You will never escape while we are victorious. If we are not, you will sink with this ship, chained to your oar.

    Judah Ben-Hur: I can't believe that God has let me live these three years, to die chained to an oar.

    Quintus Arrius: It's a strange, stubborn faith you keep. To believe that existence has a purpose! A sane man would have learned to lose it long before this.

    Judah Ben-Hur: As you have. What drove it out of you?

    Quintus Arrius: Go back to your oar, Forty-One.

  • [on Arrius' orders, Judah is left unlocked for the upcoming battle; Judah touches his unchained ankle, bewildered]

    Rower No. 42: Forty-one, why did he do that?

    Judah Ben-Hur: I don't know.

    [remembering Nazareth]

    Judah Ben-Hur: Once before, a man helped me. I didn't know why then.
