The shortest version is 212 minutes, but it is only three and a half hours. I hope you can stick to it.
The 1959 version of "Ben-Hur" won 11 awards and nominated 1 at the 32nd Academy Awards. This record has not been broken by other films so far, and "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3" only tied the record.
The new version of "Ben-Hur" is only 124 minutes long, and the domestic version is 10 minutes shorter. It is said that the content related to religion has been deleted. Although I haven't watched the new version yet, I guess the rest of the movie should only be the Jewish Prince's Revenge. . The Jewish prince Judas Ben-Hur, who was colonized by Rome, was framed by the new tribune and childhood friend Misara, and his family was destroyed. Judas was sent to a battleship as a rowing slave. During the naval battle, he saved the naval consul, and he was a first-class master in driving a carriage. Judas returned to his hometown and defeated Misara at the racetrack. Misara fell off the carriage and was seriously injured. Judas achieved the goal of revenge.
The story is the story, but the bigger part of the boss movie is the story of Jesus. The film is interspersed with the birth of Jesus, the revelation of Jesus saving people, and finally the content of Jesus being nailed to the cross.
Originally, Judas was a humble and gentle person. After being framed by Misara, he only had revenge in his heart. Even after Misara died, he did not eliminate the hatred. It was only after being revealed by Jesus that he became a gentle Judas again. Because only loving-kindness is the most powerful, and only love can save all sentient beings.
In the era of no special effects, it took three months to shoot the carriage race on location, and it has become the most classic scene of the movie. The magnificent naval battles, the magnificent Roman palaces, the magnificent Roman emperor's review ceremony, the magnificent noble mansions, the exquisite armor, the gorgeous costumes, and the tall sculptures are all the brainchild of the filmmakers and are worth seeing.
