Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2003)

Aside from Gone With the Wind, Ben Hur is my favorite of all spetacular movies.. It is the story of a Jewish aristocrat who is jailed by his long lost buddy for an accident, and thrown into prison; but he excapes to Rome and becomes a Roman. When he returns, he finds his mother and sister banished to a Leprosy colony. He finally wins his revenge on those who were against him. This Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace is a wonderful experience! the acting by Charlton Heston, Stephen Boyd, and Haya Haraheet is superb; the music and photography is beautiful; and the directing by William Wyler is excellent. 10/10
