My movie review- Judah Ben-hur

I have watch the modern version of the movie Judah Ben-hur with my class in school, based on the novel by Lew Wallace. The lead roles of the movie are Jack Huston who plays the role of Judah and Toby Kebbell who plays the role of Messala. Rodrigo Santoro stars as the charismatic Jesus.The director of the movie is Timur Bekmambetov. The movie was released for cinemas the 9th of August 2016 in the United States.

They are best friends in the beginning of the movie and they were always watching out for each other. But Messala leaves to make himself a name, so he went to the army of Rom. Then a little later in the movie, Messala get his own soldiers and he becomes a roman military general and a roman nobleman. The movie is mostly about Judah and Messalas lives and their brotherhood, but it’s also about the conflict between Rome and Jerusalem and the fight for power and the death of innocent people. When the brothers become enemies Messala send Judah to the galley and that is an important scene. Messala was really mad with judah because messala thought judah had betrayed him. After five years Judah is still trapped on the boat, rowing. It wasn’t until the boat sank that judah could escape. A strong scene in the …show more content…

The movie is based on a book that is very dreadful. I didn’t think that the actors showed enough emotions and thoughts. When you don’t feel like you get to know the characters in any movie, it gets very tiresome and boring. The judah ben-hur movie is a great movie comparing to ondskan according to me. I found the movie thought-provoking, insightful, interesting and surprisingly good. But it was still very brutal, bloody and

    There were some portions of the movie that had never happened, but this movie helped me understand the Second Crusade better than I did before. Even with the inaccuracies in the movie, I feel like it portrayed what really happened very well. The love story may not have been real, there was a love story between Sibylla and another character in real life. The injuries that were shown in the movie may not have been realistic, but it helped add to the movie about what was going on with the fighting. The cures for injuries may not have been real, or helped but it helped show what they did have at that time in the Middle Ages.
