the 32nd Academy Awards This film was nominated for 12 and won 11, making it a peak production for MGM. The three-hour-long movie has two main lines, the story of Ben Hur and the story of Jesus, which are naturally interspersed together. Regardless of content or technology, this Oscar best picture deserves its name.
The film's magnificent sets and grand and majestic naval battles and horse racing scenes are classic visual arts. Many scenes in the film are beautiful oil paintings. In that era when there were no powerful special effects, it was hard to imagine that the horse racing scene in "Ben-Hur" was actually shot. It took more than 10,000 extras and took three months. It really makes people admire the amazing talent of the production team.
In addition to the turbulent political and religious situation in ancient Rome, the collision of the two cultures in the film also shocked the audience. Ancient Roman culture was full of violent and bloody power struggles, while Christian culture preached love and forgiveness. Politics, religion, and belief affect the fate of the characters, and also affect the hearts of the audience.
