    A Movie For The Ages

    This movie has everything. First of all the content is so wonderful. Christ redemption so true. Ben-Hur could have been any man. Charleton Heston was magnificent. He made this
    person real. He was the man for the part. Always will be my favorite.

    Set in the time of Christs last days. This is the story of a man that has his live changed by the faith of the people around him. Great movie, one of ten all time greats.

    Although not a Biblical account, this film has got so much spiritual assets that people can learn from. Truly a masterpiece that any cinephile should own!

    There's a reason why this is the all-time Oscar winner. Study the composition, scene by scene, in widescreen. Each scene looks like a painting by Botticelli or Michelangelo, a masterpiece. This may be what Wyler was indicating with the paintings a...t the beginning. While the acting may seem "overdone" by postmodern cynics, yet in the vein of classic acting schools, it's perfect theater on film. Read more Less

    This movie is a damn good one for that time period. If it was done today, it would been low budget computer animated and the story would been the talk of the month about how "real" the story is and how religious it is. Also I think it would... of last atleast 2 hours Read more Less
