I knew that the movie "Ben-Hur" had been in contact with high-definition video as early as the time. At that time, there was this film in a bunch of high-definition blockbusters, so I knew it was an epic blockbuster. It's a pity that since the collection, I haven't had time to pick out this film and watch it. As a result, before I had time to watch the old film, the new version was released. Well, you can only watch the new film first, and then look back at the old film for comparison.
The film "Ben-Hur" begins with a friendly race between the brothers and ends with a life-and-death race between the brothers. It tells the story of two unrelated brothers, one is of Jerusalem noble blood - Ben-Hur, and the other is just a Roman orphan adopted by Ben-Hur's father - Masala. Masala is very self-aware and feels that he is never a real member of the family. As a result, he and his beloved left without saying goodbye to go to Rome to be a soldier in the battle. After untold hardships, life and death on the battlefield, Masala finally became a commander of the Roman army, and followed the Roman army into Jerusalem. The two brothers were overjoyed when they met again, but they were not as good as they used to be. One was the intruder and the other was the aborigines of the occupied area. Masala asked Ben-Hur to ensure that there would not be any accidents when the Roman army commander passed by. Ben-Hur agreed, but it backfired. A fanatic who was rescued by Ben-Hur because of his injury shot and killed Rome on the upper floor of Ben-Hur's residence. Army commander. As a result, Ben-Hur's family was arrested and separated, and Ben-Hur himself became a slave of the Romans and worked as a rower in the warships of the Roman wars. For 5 years, after his warship was rammed and sunk by a Greek warship, he was fortunate to meet an African businessman who made a living by racing horses and healed one of his racing horses. Finally, for revenge, through training, once again stood with his brother Masala, and competed in the arena.
The foreshadowing, succession and turning point of some plots in the whole film are not enough. For example, Masala's departure only took two plots. One was that Ben-Hur's mother called him "believing in different gods", and the other was that Ben-Hur's mother didn't like her daughter to interact with Masala. As a result, Masala Pulled away to join the army. Third, at the end of the story, Masala lost the horse race and lost his right foot when he overturned the car. He was lying on the hospital bed and yelled at Ben-Hur I want to kill you. Ben-Hur said two words as if he was inspired by Jesus’ words and actions. In other words, it was a bit awkward for the brothers to resolve their hatred and embrace each other. Fourth, Ben-Hur's mother and sister were imprisoned in a secret place and contracted leprosy. As a result, after Ben-Hur won the game, they were nourished by Yuze nectar and healed instantly. They were then redeemed from prison by the African businessman. , reunited with Ben Hur, and the surprise came so suddenly.
Unexpectedly, the film has a strong religious color. It introduces Jesus from an ordinary carpenter, to the words and deeds of helping the toiling people after the Romans captured Jerusalem, as well as his followers, and finally being nailed to the cross by the Romans. the above plot. These processes also gave Ben-Hur great shock and inspiration.
The story ends with a comedy, and the family reunites happily. The two brothers talked and laughed, and rode their horses together for the future.
Storyline: There is a profound historical background, but some of the plot twists are a little far-fetched and hasty, which makes me more curious about the plot of the old film, and I don't know what will be different.
The lines design, the more impressive are: "Peace or death", "First to finish, last to die".
Scene design: The horse racing scene in the arena is especially prominent, with horses galloping, wrestling with each other, corner competitions, overturning cars, people and horses turning over and other scenes are thrilling and exciting.
Gives a good review on the basis of not having seen the old film.
