Watch Ben-Hur (English) Of Love Movie Online

In September 2013, Timur Bekmambetov was hired to direct the film.[37] Bekmambetov was initially reluctant to direct and did not wish to tackle a film whose predecessor had so much impact. After producer Sean Daniel persuaded him to read the script, he accepted it,[38] saying "I read the script. And suddenly I understood this story is not what I expected. It's not a remake, it's an interpretation of the famous book."[13] He stated the story of Ben-Hur reminded him of Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Anton Chekhov's work.[39] He was fascinated by the 1959 film but found the focus on revenge rather than forgiveness to be the main problem; this was the prime difference between the book and the 1959 movie: the book was written about forgiveness, and the movie was about revenge and miracles. Hence, he wanted to stress the themes of forgiveness and love rather than mere vengeance. He found "the most important values of pride, rivalry, power, strength, the dictatorship of power and self-love" that were prominent in the Roman Empire to be the primary subjects in this version.[40][39] He said that the film is not just the story of Ben-Hur, but rather the shared story of him and his brother, Messala.[4] Bekmambetov was aware of the comparisons being made with the earlier classical adapted films, and hence felt the need to make the film very different from the others. As a result, he decided to make a realistic drama film rather than a large tent-pole attraction.[4] The director did not set out to make a more stylized version of the past, as he did with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter; he wanted to make a film that was more grounded and tangible.[41]

The final script ran to 230 pages.[52] The screenplay differed more from the original novel than did the 1925 silent film version. Some changes made the film's storyline more dramatic. The role of Esther was greatly expanded from that of the novel to provide a strong onscreen love interest throughout the film. Other changes included incorporating an admiration for the Jewish culture and people (historical and modern), as well as representing the more pluralistic society of 1950s America rather than the "Christian superiority" view of Wallace's novel (though the movie retained a strongly positive religious portrayal of Early Christianity).[53]

The film's first telecast took place on Sunday, February 14, 1971.[179] In what was a television first for a Hollywood film, it was broadcast over five hours (including commercials) during a single evening by CBS,[180][s] preempting all of that network's regular programming for that one evening. It was watched by 85.82 million people for a 37.1 average rating.[181] It was one of the highest-rated movies ever screened on television at the time (behind the broadcast premieres of The Birds and Bridge on the River Kwai).[182][183]

This movie is thrilling to watch, and the 21st-century production values definitely stand out when compared to the classic version (and the two will definitely be compared). The fight scenes are filled with mayhem and carnage, and the chariot race is exciting but grisly. But while the effects are strong, the acting is solid, and the themes tie into key aspects of the human experience (love, forgiveness, vengeance, jealousy), Ben-Hur is let down by a script that telegraphs plot points and has plenty of cliched writing.

I recall Ben Hur being the quintessential Easter movie on German national TV in the 70s and 80s. I pretty much watched it every year or close to it. TBH, I never was into religion (and still am not) but to me and as a result: Ben Hur = Easter must watch

While this adorable Disney movie isn't about Easter, it is about a very smart bunny. How can you even think about celebrating Easter without a good rabbit-related story? Zootopia is the perfect movie to watch that both kids and adults alike will enjoy.

"This 'Jane Eyre,' energetically directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga ('Sin Nombre') from a smart, trim script by Moira Buffini ('Tamara Drewe'), is a splendid example of how to tackle the daunting duty of turning a beloved work of classic literature into a movie," A.O. Scott wrote for The New York Times.

"The movie arranges an unsentimental education for both mismatched lovers, and there's no denying the collateral damage," Peter Travers wrote for Rolling Stone, adding, "You won't forget Mulligan's haunted eyes."

"Ultimately, the thrill of 'Argo' is in watching how the illusion-making of movies found such an unlikely application on the world political stage, where the stakes were literally life and death," Peter Debruge wrote in Variety.

"I have been making a point the last two years to regain my reading skills with a minimum goal every day. Some days are easy, I read and read, other days I am lucky to read a few pages, particularly if something stressful happens, like running over a screw and having to call AAA. I am also making a point to revisit old favorites, because there is only so much time. Movies get almost none of that time. I only very rarely watch movies, perhaps one or two a year. I am sure I am missing some great work, but so often I can just see where it's going and I lose interest.

There's nothing like an old-fashioned epic to remind us why we fell in love with the movies in the first place, and two new DVDs fit that description to a T. John Schlesinger's "Far From the Madding Crowd," taken from the novel by Thomas Hardy, is an epic of the romantic sort, with Julie Christie considering advances from Alan Bates, Peter Finch and Terence Stamp. Consider the possibilities. Also taken from a novel, this one by Lew Wallace, is the classic "Ben-Hur," with Charlton Heston as the man you want to have in your chariot if a big race is coming up. Five hundred sets, 8,000 extras, 11 Oscars: This is one for the ages. (Kenneth Turan) Read more 2ff7e9595c
