Our channel is about being honest and transparent about the effects of sexual/porn addiction, and how it has robbed men of their virtue by being introduced, accidently or purposely, to sexually immoral images, and physical acts at an age of innocence. We believe this premature exposure to sexual immorality has created a false perception of God-given desires for sexual intimacy. Our anticipated outcome is that we provided an awareness of the wounds & lies of the past that sexually addictive men are under the influence of, which helped to create their addictive behavior, and that we helped to displace these lies with the truth about just how pure they truly are… Once delivered from the mindsets of abandonment, shame, guilt, and condemnation, we believe these men will properly identify themselves with the One who created them & their new purpose after the struggles they had to endure.
Was there Computer Graphics ? NO, was there Artificial I? Hell No? Did all the set/actors/support get coated in Dust, Sand, Sweat, Heat? and Thirst ? YES. Were some of, many of the BEST Actors Cast in this film? YES Are ANY still with us? NO..... I tell any young Actor to watch films in Black n White..to learn, Soak it all up like Sponge's....
I don't believe there is one single scene, line, or performance in this masterpiece that is less than perfection. This has to be Wlliam Wyler & Cecil B. DeMille's best legacy, ever!
Most tellings treat Pontius Pilate as a villain. This movie treats him more like he was, a reluctant civil servant enforcing laws because he had to. The actor that plays him, Frank Thring, always reminds me of Vincent Price. He did a number of these sand & sandals movies.
One of the things I liked about this movie is that not all Roman characters are straight up bad guys. Arrius was introduced as a hard man who despite all he achieved was effectively a broken one, he had lost his son and loat his faith, not only in his gods but himself. He had accepted his fate, expecing to die in battle, only to encounter a jewish slave who despite all he had endured had managed to hold on to the very thing he abandoned. When he was to die, that same slave saved his life and forced him to live despite a desire not to. In doing so he showed him that hope and faith still had value, now we see him here humbled, his faith restored and as he said, feeling a love and pride he had long lost. A Roman, and a high ranking one at that, adopted a Jew and former slave as his son, something I imagine would have been a controversal decision in Roman society and yet he does it and it is well recieved.
I would have seriously liked to have seen Judah Ben-Hur's relationship with the Roman girl who was on his arm. She must have been an important daughter of some noble Roman, with a stunning looking mother as well. I am sure he would have fit well into the Roman culture. But, he was staying true to his roots which were imprisoned back where he grew up.
No doubt it a master piece, First time I saw this movie at the age of 10 in year 1972 and after that I can't count. Still I have very clear print on a DVD. Now even my Grand children enjoy watching it especially the chariot race and rowing and pulling of Battle Ships
See any men in pants? STOP trying to lock men into a TINY CORNER as to clothes while women get the entire playing field! Masculinity does not consist of endless restrictions on expression.
I’ve always believed in the movie Ben-Hur that at the end of the movie he should have left And went back to Rome and live out his new life with his adopted father after sorting out his business and affairs and obtaining revenge and never giving back the ring.
Me too and I know very well that the Consul would have received Juda's mother and sister in a good way, he would have continued to gain honor and fame for his Father and everyone would have lived happily, Who knows even the Consul could have fallen in love with his mother, she was very pretty before becoming a leper and also a lady of great fortune and good manners hahaha
Pontius Pilate accurately portrays the environment regarding prophets at the time ("the holy prophets can't get on without me.") This is critical when addressing the historicity of Jesus, because while we have records of men that bear similarities to the person described in The Bible, the reality is that the business of being a prophet was a sort of streetcorner, dime-a-dozen business at the time. It was almost a joke by that time. People have this idea of this one person stepping out as a prophet, but the person of Jesus is smeared out across several people. This is due to Judaism's concept of a Messiah overlapping with Roman dictatorship, with many citizens assuming it was the Roman's that the Messiah was supposed to overthrow. This lead to many, many opportunists and cults in Judea. It there is no mystery why some Jesus-like character would inevitably emerge from such a political climate.
Pseudo-intellectuals on RU-vid are dime-a-dozen. There was no smorgasbord of "prophets" made into a single fictional person since Tacitus directly mentions Jesus.
@@Tempusverum He mentions a trial of such a person whom he did not directly observe. Furthermore, a composite of people's experiences with prophets seems more likely when people attempted to write on Jesus after the fact of his death. Was there some dude named Jesus that could have been a prophet? Probably, as as there is someone now named Jésus. When we talk about a historical Jesus, such a person would have to have several of those accounts he is given credit for verified. It's an almost impossible task to be sure, which is why I am speaking from what is more likely. And I admit you are correct about RU-vid, that we could scarcely find a time where we weren't bombarded with scores of false "prophets" trying to sell us snake oil.
