The epic sense of "Ben-Hur" can be attributed to three aspects:
1. The unique charm exuding in dealing with the world; in the era of slavery, when facing his slaves, he greeted his slaves with the same enthusiasm as his relatives and friends; he knew that the housekeeper would betroth his daughter to a strange businessman, and he clearly liked Egypt very much. Sterling, willing to reluctantly agree to give her freedom;
Ben-Hur's life was full of ups and downs, from prince to slave to heir to the consul of the Roman Empire, but he finally gave up his status as the heir and returned to his hometown to find his relatives. Vengeance was not his purpose and his hatred of Messara did not come from this childhood friend, but from the tyranny of the rulers of the Roman Empire, his thoughts showed love for the people, and he himself was anti-slavery , which reflects the advanced nature of his thinking
2. There is hope in tragedy; the leprosy of mother and sister gave Ben-Hur a huge blow, but when Jesus was nailed to the cross, a heavy rain fell from the sky and washed away the panic that the disease gave people; Jesus was nailed to the cross. A silent tragedy, but one that also contains hope for rebirth
3. The mythological color of Christianity; the existence of Jesus played a huge role in promoting the plot of the film. The first time Ben-Hur met Jesus, when he was in despair in the desert, Jesus gave him a ladle of water; the second time he met Jesus, it was When I came back from the Valley of Leprosy, I saw someone teaching and teaching; the third time I met Jesus, when Jesus was about to be executed, Ben Hur gave him a spoonful of water. In this film, Jesus exists like an ordinary person, but at the same time, it is precisely because of his existence that the shackles of hatred on Ben Hur are released
