Review of Ben-Hur (1959) by Marveljoe — 18 Jun 2019
I wanted to see movies that won some Oscars at the Academy Awards, then I came upon the Holy "11 Academy Award Winning" movies: Ben-Hur, Titanic, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. I have only seen Titanic and The Return of the King, but not Ben-Hur. I wanted to see what so special about this movie. Best Cinematography, Art Direction-Production, Score, and Special or Visual Effects are my favorite categories for the Oscars.
Yeah, it didn't age well, but the acting, the colors, the cinematography, the production, and the music score really sells the movie. The story reminded me of Gladiator in the way, which helps me understand the plot better. This movie basically revolutionized the word "Epic" because that is what this movie is. Epic.
