Review of Ben-Hur (1959) by Augustus3 — 21 Aug 2016
Do not let your beliefs (whether you're an atheist or not) keep you away from this marvellous human experience.
After 212 minutes, I felt a strange deep calm within my very core. This is that kind of film that will whether win your heart by knockout or by points.
For future film connoisseurs, pay attention in how William Wyler directed it all: each set piece ends up working out perfectly.
I could type much more about such a film, but all you have to know is that this is the ultimate version of Ben-Hur (at least when compared to the 2016 version, which is a very feeble experiment).
