THE best Epic film of all-time. RIP, Sam Zimbalist , William Wyler, Charlton Heston, & all of the cast, of this classic. Especially to Miklos Rozsa for his gorgeous score. ------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
Probably the best rendering of the Nativity on film; William Wyler has a stunning eye for visuals, and his compositions are impeccable and colorfully rendered. I love the calf running toward its mother at 4:14. That's either the luckiest shot Wyler ever got or the most entranced bit of planning he ever dared.
What a wonderful legend. I know some people abuse it but think of the millions of beautiful family moments this inspired. I can still see my daughter, now a grown and accomplished woman, looking at the tree on Christmas Eve with a sense of wonder she will never know again. I'd give anything to experience those moments again.
Very much agree.. no one knows if Jesus was born on this day but feeling Christmas is what is all about! Whether it was in July or December is what you feel in your heart. The dates and the time we know were all man-made.
JESUS is the reason for the season... The greatest man that ever lived JESUS CHRIST-the Alpha & the Omega...Amen HE had no servants, yet they called HIM Master. HE had no degree, yet they called HIM Teacher. HE had no medicines, Yet they called HIM healer. HE had no army, yet Kings feared HIM. HE won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. HE had no wife yet HE's the Bridegroom. HE committed no crime, yet they crucified HIM HE was buried in a tomb, and HE arose on the third day and lives today and forever unto the ages of ages. ALL Glory be unto our Lord and Saviour, Jesus CHRIST... Keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas!
This movie was my favorite when it came out.. I was in high school Andersons would organize religious holiday trips to the theater. I’m almost 80 now and this brilliant film holds up
I am, as of July this year, 65 years old. This scene still makes me cry. That YHWH should love us so much that He would send His own Son to be THE Lamb, THE perfect Sacrifice to die for our sins leaves me speechless with awe. I love this movie more than I can say. Do you know why Jesus waited till He was 30 to begin His ministry? He waited because of His mother. It is easier for a woman to lose her son when he’s a grown man who lived a very good life, than to lose a twelve year old boy who had his future ahead of him. She knew her son was special - remember the wedding feast? She told the servants to do whatever her son told them to do and did not seem surprised when Jesus turned water into wine. But I don’t think she knew what her son was truly here for. By waiting till he was thirty Jesus left her with many happy memories: “Joseph, Jesus, James lunch is ready.” “Don’t worry sir, your table will be done on time, I’ll get Jesus to help me.” “Jesus, you never forget to bring me a bucket of water from the well.” Mary, sighing with exasperated amusement: “Esther, Rachel, Rebecca do the three of you really have a reason to come here everyday, or do you just want to look at my son?” By waiting till He was thirty Jesus gave His mother many years of happy memories, even as He gave us a way to pray directly to ABBA Father and took away the sin that kept us from God.
We all watch, and enjoy this beautiful film, over, and over again. It touches our hearts, and souls. Then, the word "The End", comes across the screen; unfortunately, not only does it signify the ending of the film....
ANY ONE HERE DECEMBER 9TH (2O21). HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AROUND THE WORLD WHO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF A BABY SENT TO REDEEM OUR WORLD VIA FLESH & BLOOD. THE MOVIE " BEN-HUR WILL BE TIMELESS FOREVER !!!! IT WAS & WILL BE EPIC OF EPICS !!!!! FROM U.K. (2021).

This story was written by a Civil War General who wasn't real religious. He wrote a great story! A fantastic job! The book was turned into an Epic movie. God always works thru the people that aren't always the head of a religion. More common people. Moses, Noah, Peter and Paul.
And Jesus said let them come and lay frogspawn in every pond in the land and the world will be full of jumping and singing frogs.. 🎶🎶🌍🌍🏃🏃🏃🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🌙🌙🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
Irony of course being the director was reportedly not very religious, but that being said, perhaps it shows the very powerful nature of this story whether you are Christian or not.
Ben Hur, Rei dos Reis, Os Dez Mandamentos, Quo Vadis, O Manto Sagrado, A Bíblia, A Maior História de Todos os Tempos, Sansão e Dalila e tantos outros filmes maravilhosos que jamais serão esquecidos.
Ben Hur is very much the movie equivalent to Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle. It’s bold, grandiose, and almost without peer. On one hand, some of the main characters are absolute dolts who make you want to run headfirst against a wall. On the other hand.. THAT MUSIC.
S30092017. En la suite Fanfarria para Preludio Ben Hur- Rozsa, también suena, entre Love Theme Ring For Freedom y Overture, Estrella de Belén , Ben Hur- Rozsa, fusionando allí Rozsa la historia de Ben Hur y Cristo. Esa parte Estrella de Belén es también Overture Ben Hur- Rozsa, como señalé en Estrella de Belén Ben Hur-Rozsa que suena sutilmente Overture Ben Hur- Rozsa, allí. Estrella de Belén Hermoso Track donde sutilmente ; casi de incógnito suena Overture (Ben Hur-Rozsa) en casi 2 minutos de duración por ser Preámbulo o ser Overture Música de Interludes , como El Prelude un Track de inicio. En dos minutos relatando por apartes, en toda la película : La catequesis músical que es esta Película :conocida como Ben Hur pero también Ben Hur un Relato de Cristo .Aquí con Estrella de Belén arrancando ese relato en música: El aviso de un nacimiento . Soundtrack Chorus, Adoración de los Magos Ben Hur-Rozsa, no es más que otra versión del también Soundtrack Chorus Estrella de Belén ,Ben Hur -Rozsa, son el mismo Soundtrack, Título Oficial Estrella de Belén. Estos dos Soundtracks son versiones del tema de Baltasar, uno de los Reyes Magos.
The showing of Our Lord's Nativity by "Ben Hur" makes it better than its contemporary film "Herod the Great", which didn't show the Nativity and showed King Herod as learning about Our Lord's Birth from one of the shepherds rather than from the Three Kings.
Jesus of Nazareth The bénédiction for every people in the world. Pauvre lepreux and every peuple You bénédiction jesus of Nazareth. Peace in the world jesus . Name of god.
