⁠@@JoseyWales44s: I am not among the ignorant, however, recognizing that this film (“Ben Hur”, 1959) is a masterpiece of world cinema (along with others similar to the ancient era evoked, e.g. “Quo Vadis ?”) - the Miklos Rozsa’s soundtrack of this film being impressive - nevertheless, IMDb can be taken into account, taking the opinion of critics, but, especially, the vote (rating) of moviegoers: "Shawshank Redemption", 1994, is in first place (with a score of 9.3/10). Unfortunately, “Ben Hur” is rated 8.1/10… That's what I wanted to say. 🤗

@@casualobserver485 Thank you for your comment. With all due respect, it is true that the Ben Hur story/character is fiction, and taken from a novel by Lew Wallace, but the Christian faith is real, and Christ was factually the Messiah, Son of God, and Redeemer of the human race from the sin that had beset it since the fall of Adam and Eve. God has offered us, as a free gift, redemption for our sins through Christ, God Himself made incarnate in human form, and it is up to us to accept and live accordingly.

[@williamsnyder5616]

+FriendofRamblinJack One of the interesting things about what you write is that Rozsa, who wrote some of the most beautiful Christian-themed music in Hollywood history, was not a Christian, but a Jew. In fact, when one looks at the history of ancient Roman times---as told through Hollywood eyes, much of the beautiful Christian music was written by great Jewish composers. Rozsa wrote "Ben-Hur" and "Quo Vadis." Alfred Newman wrote "The Robe" and three very non-Roman, but related Christian themed films, "The Egyptian" (with another Jewish composer, Bernard Herrmann), "A Man Called Peter" and "The Song of Bernadette." Franz Waxman, who was beaten on a Berlin street for being Jewish, escaped from Naziism to write the scores for "The Silver Chalice" and the beautiful"The Nun's Story." I don't know if these men were particularly observant in the Jewish faith, but they were forgiving in their professionalism, considering the way Christians have often treated Jewish people.

[@FriendofRamblinJack]

Mr. Snyder, I just now saw your comment here. I am a child of the mid 50s, sir, so I am very aware of classics in all forms, Hollywood, composers, etc. I've seen many times all the pictures you stated, my favourite being Ben Hur. Having said that, one could also reply, in regards to your last statement, that Christian American Military Armed Forces could still harbor a grudge against the Israeli people and government for the deliberate attack causing the death of many sailors aboard the USS LIBERTY. HOWEVER, being a follower of Jesus Christ and a devout born-again Bible-adherent Christian, we love Israel and we stand with Israel as God Almighty YHWH commanded us, we forgive and we ask forgiveness. Having said all that, I was just telling my husband last night watching THE ROBE again for the umpeenth time, "Honey, look at how much beautiful music ever composed came from our Jewish brothers and sisters!" God bless you, Mr. Snyder. -- US COAST GUARD MOM, aka Friend of Ramblin Jack Elliott
