Ben Hur is not smooth. Although he used to be a Jewish prince and is now an aristocrat, he has no rights and no army in his hands, so he has to fight with the local tribune.
Ben Hur did not understand the essence of the question that Masala asked him to support or oppose. This question is: do you choose to keep your prosperity or be punished?
Ben-Hur didn't think in a different position, what is Masala's needs, is to eradicate potential or apparent rebels, make achievements, and be promoted to higher positions
What the director wants to express is the set of Christian things
Christianity is a vested interest, a tool used by people at the top of the pyramid to brainwash the exploited and oppressed general public in disguise
Reduce their rebellion, make them love their enemies, forgive those who harvest them, and exploit them
Isn't Jesus the image representative? In the eyes of the people above, he must die. Didn't he preach forgiveness and love for the enemy? His death can make Christianity more accepted, trusted, and promoted.
Another film in which the director lost its authenticity in order to express what he wanted to express.
Now when have you seen the mayor, secretary of the municipal party committee, and governor who correspond to Masala in real life will personally risk their lives to earn merit
Why cut weeds and roots, is to deal with revenge
At last
The film looks like a story of revenge, but the core of what the director wants to express is the set of Christian things
