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.

    A classic in the movie. The grandness of the scene caused a buzzword in Hong Kong at that time called "Ben-Hur is such a big scene". The scene scheduling is really awesome, and it is most clearly reflected in the racing scene. Not only do people take their place, but even the horses are very obedient to the command. No matter how messy it is, there are degrees. This kind of scheduling ability is even more valuable in that era when there were no special effects. After reading it in its entirety, I don't feel it is too long. Every frame is like a classical oil painting. The Taoist costumes are very elegant, and the restoration of the building is estimated to burn money. In short, it is a big production with conscience. The soundtrack adds a heavy epic feel, like the three-day-long lingering after watching the film. Heston's big blue eyes are so charming, showing a tenacity that fits the character, and his masculine face resembles a tragic hero who came out of a classical epic. The real protagonist is actually a faceless Christ, essentially a religious sermon. The friendship between a man and a man who broke up because of political opinions carries the "confrontation of two ideas" in line with the religious theme, but it also reflects some modern ideas, such as the system's suppression of individuals, the idea is more difficult to destroy than the body and so on. The characters are full and real, and even the four white horses have different temperaments.

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.
