Epic Story of Childhood Friends Turned Enemies in the Midst of Christ's Growing Influence

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2020)

I was really surprised by the amount of bromance in the beginning- Heston looks like he's two decisions away from kissing his old friend at some points in their reunion! Men are not usually portrayed as being so vulnerable and close with other guys. This makes it all the more sad when their religious-political differences tear them apart. The high quality set design, passionate acting, gorgeous costumes, enigmatic parallels with Christ's journey to the cross, and the beyond iconic chariot race scene make it worth anyone's time.
