Ben-Hur

Ben-Hur deserves all the praise it gets. This film is excellent. Not only is it well written but it’s well directed and acted with a powerful narrative that can be appreciated even from a non religious perspective. There’s a reason this is such a revered classic. 9/10

Now THIS is what a movie with Christian elements should be like. This is the standard. And it’s incredibly high I fear.
Also how in the world did they film the chariot racing scene in 1959?!?

porrada chifre traição corrida de cavalo e do nada JESUS???

10/10

Awesome bible movie.

This is the definition of an epic. I had heard of the chariot race, and it did not disappoint. The scale of it was incredible. I did not realize it was going to have Jesus’s life woven into the thread of the film. For me it was interesting, and I’m not sure it was necessary.

Good but god was that long. That intermission was much needed by the time it finally came around!
