Watched Ben Hur (1959)
A Legendary Epic tale above Cinematic Boundaries. Take a Bow William Wyler 🙌 How on earth he made such a visually spectacular film without CGI. Hands down to the Greatest Cinematic achievement of William Wyler. Ben Hur won 11 Oscars out of 12 Nominations, the record which is unbroken till date and don't wonder why. I don't even think anyone will challenge this record unless categories of Nominations increase yet Ben Hur to hold highest percentage of winning out of number of nominations. Ben Hur is a that rare cinema which perfectly mixtures Commercial and Critical value and such films never get old, no matter how many films are being made today with advanced technology. There is lot to learn from Ben Hur to every film maker who wish to make a grand film keeping strong content in hand. Whether it is acting, cinematography, production value, execution, writing, screenplay, climax, message for humanity or grandeur, Ben Hur just does every freaking thing so accurate. Probably, the Greatest Film of 50s Decade and arguably the Best Magnus Opus Ever. I am happy that it was Biggest Grosser of the decade but i wish it should have became a Record Grosser. Not to mention those 3 Epic scenes which left me spellbounded even after watching the film 61 years post it's original release. The sea battle, the chariot race and the climax. That grandeur, scene making, visuals, those big sets are Magnificent. The efforts of entire crew and the Vision of Director for this Film is damn too high, i just can't think enough finding adjectives. I am happy to announce that i found a 10/10 film after a long time. I just didn't enjoy the Cinematic majesty but also i loved the content. Hats off to the Entire Team of Ben Hur 🙏
