Satisfactory Essays

BEN HER REVIEW Ben Her is a film what is about forgiveness and hate. I will be reviewing the length of the movie and how that effects the movie and second Ill review how Jesus was shown in the movies. A brief overview of the movie is as follows. Messala and Judah (Ben Her) are brothers. But when messala leaves to fight for Rome things change between them. The reason behind this is because Rome and Jerusalem don't get along. After Messala returns, there is an accident and Judah takes blame. With this, he goes on a long, awful adventure. But he eventually finds the Sheik and things start to turn up. Lastly He then enters a chariot race that he will either win and stay alive, or die trying. The length differences in the movies are one of the biggest reason on how they are different. In the 1959 film the boat scenes and when he meets a friend drag out the movie way longer than it needs to be. There are also Long scenes with a lot of side stories …show more content…

In 1959 Jesus was more of a mysterious figure. They never showed his face and also don't he him spreading the word of God. In 2016 Jesus’s face is shown and we see him in a lot of scenes not only helping people but we see him spreading the word of God. In the 1959 film we see Judah receive water from Jesus and also him when he's about to preach on the hill. But in the 2016 film we see him preaching, jumping in front of a person getting stones and we hear him talking, not only talking about God while preaching to others but on the cross when he is about to die. Having these be different gave the movie a completely different feel. I talked to people in the class and most agreed that in the 1959 movie when Jesus was hung on the cross they didn't get as emotional in watching it as in the 2016 movie. They felt like they connected to Jesus more in the 2016 because they understood and loved what he was standing
