Most biblical epic film history.

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2016)

Ben-Hur is based on the novel by Lew Wallace Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ, the film had several adaptations, plus the most famous is the one with William Wyler, Lew Wallace Ben-Hur wrote to prove that God does not exist, more while writing he was converted, Ben-Hur's record of Oscar, winning 11, being achieved by Titanic and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, but was never exceeded, Ben-Hur starts showing the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, with a very beautiful scene with the stars, and also showed the Roman Empire dominated Jerusalem, the film has a spectacular production, every detail, every home is something spectacular, perhaps the greatest production of film history, the costumes of the film is spectacular, the Romans uniforms are incredible, and very well detailed, the scene of ships is incredible, and you are surprises with the quality that has made this scene, Jesus Christ appears at times in the beginning, the most striking scene in the movie that's when it's water for Ben-Hur Judah drinks, appears in the Valley of the Lepers and the scene of the crucifixion, the cast is good, especially Charlton Heston as Ben-Hur, a few moments this exaggerated, more to all of it this very well in the film, Stephen Boyd makes a great Messala, the direction of Wyler is impeccable, the scene of Bigas Racing is the greatest achievement of film history, are nine minutes most spectacular movie, you wonder how they managed to do that in 1959, where he had many limitations, is incredible, fantastic, has no adjective to talk about that scene, the film is very violent, has blood, the crucifixion scene is a bit strong, I do not short Particularly these kind of scene, more Ben -Hur is not perfect, the script of the film is somewhat problematic, the last 40 minutes in my opinion are unnecessary, some dialogues are longer than it should, and takes a long time for Judah Ben-Hur turn slave, more fine, this does not take away the greatness of the film, Ben-Hur is the most biblical film of film history, it has a spectacular history, even with a problematic script, and some performances that leaves something to be desired, the film has moments that go stay for the story , such as race Bigar and moments Christ of water to Judah Ben-Hur, photography is fantastic, and the costume is perfect, is a film to be seen by every movie lover, surely the definitive version of the Book Lew Wallace. Note 10
Ben-Hur won a remake that launched yesterday on 19 \ 08 \ 16 , now I ask why ?, Ben- Hur Wyler is more current than ever , this remake is being panned by the critics and the audience , not you need to do a remake , this already enough, even the original and 1907 , Ben-Hur 1959 is the best and the most well known , so many films to remake they make a winner of 11 Oscar, which will be the next ?, Lawrence of Arabia ?, Braveheart ?, Spartacus ?, Gladiator ?, Lord of the Rings ?, El Cid ?, comes to tinker with classic , i support remake films that have aged badly, more is not the case of Ben-Hur , for it Hollywood .
