Ben-Hur Son of Arrius "Spirit of Adoption"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2012
- Ben-Hur was adopted as the son of Arrius. Once a slave and now heir to his father's inheritance. This is a perfect example of what Apostle Paul was sharing would happen to the slaves/orphans of Rome through Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:15)

I have seen this film more than 60 times and I always come to the same conclusion: The best film of all times !
AGREED
Agreed.
IT GIVES ME HOPE ABOUT GOD
Yep, I never get tired of watching it!
@@cherylT321 you're missing out.
BEN HUR is a timeless masterpiece for all times. Powerful movie!!!!
What a great movie. It never fails to move me. It was from a time when movies had everything that's missing today.
This movie rates with a selected few as theatrical masterpieces in every way. Timeless, in its costumes, casting, acting, directing, stages, and story.
I still get chills every time I watch this. What an honor...
Very emotional and touching scene
I've seen Ben-Hur countless times; but every time I view it now, I notice something in it that I've never seen before!
Agree with you
Did you know Charleton Heston was the lead??
I agree with you. There is something new at every viewing. Maybe, it is because as we age, we see more and more.
@@chrispruitt5877 The 1959 production of Ben-Hur is one of the all-time greatest movies. Hands down!!! The acting is superb!
I remember reading that most of the extras in that scene were actually the cream of Italian Royalty.......real princesses and countess.
Great scene, I was so happy that Arrius and Judah became close especially when they got off on the wrong foot earlier in the film when Arrius damned near killed Judah when he was at the oars (RAMMING SPEED!!!).
Knowing Roman law, the Apostle Paul understood once one was adopted that adoption was final and could never be revoked. As adopted sons and daughters of the Most High we cry, Abba Father. Shalom and Maranatha!!
Wow !!!
@@slappy8941 I don't agree.
Slappy, is your" ship "you sail it ANY WHICH WAY. ANY THING THAT MAY GIVE YOU HAPPINES, IS YOUR PREROGATIVE ( BUT SEEMS YOU MUCH RATHER BE BITTER,NOTHING ANY BODY CAN DO ABOUT,NEITHER BUDIST JEWISH ,GENTILE,OR MUSLIM. AND THAT'S perfectly fine with the entire universe.
@@slappy8941 - Turd.
@Charles Ross That ended in 70 AD with the fall of Jerusalem, the Roman destruction of the Temple and the scattering of the Jewish people.
The Jews of today are not the Jews of old, they no longer make a sacrifice to the Lord, Christ's death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice for sin, anyone who accepts Him as Savior, is a temple of God, a citizen of the new Jerusalem.
An incredible and epic film classic, I saw it this year on the big screen, thank you Turner Classic Movies at the Theater!!!!!
A multitude of powerful scenes in this epic. Arius knew from the start that there was something about “41” Judah should have had this number on the licence plate of his chariot lol...a great way for the Judean to honor his adopted father..🙂
One of the Great Classics ! Music is excellent !
The late, great Miklos Roza. I have the soundtrack. It's amazing!
Jack Hawkins.........one of my top fave actors of all time. I absolutely love his performance in THE THIRD KEY.
Yea, I would have nominated him for best supporting actor in Ben Hur. He was just brilliant.
He's great here, but my favorite performance of his is in "Bridge on the River Kwai."
I think, for me, it's a toss-up between this role, and his role in 'Zulu' with Michael Caine.
I like how you used the Biblical phrase "spirit of adoption" to the scene in Ben-Her.
I find it amazing that young people often don't rank this movies in the top 10. Some don't even place it in the top 100.
If you watch very carefully, in a previous scene aboard the ship where Arrius offers to make Judah one of his gladiators, they have this exchange:
Arrius: "It's a strange, stubborn faith your people keep, to believe that existence has a purpose. A sane man would have learned to lose it long ago."
Judah: "As you have. What drove it out of you?"
Now, right after Judah says that, there's a film cut, and Arrius just says, "Go back to your oar, Forty-One." With this scene for context, I believe that scene was originally longer, with Arrius telling Judah about the loss of his own son. If so, I wish that scene could be put back.
You have a good insight, it should be in the director's cut.
@@janviljoen7001 Unfortunately, they didn't make Director's Cuts back then, it was probably left on the cutting room's floor before someone swept up and took out the trash.... (Sad)
Yea, there were many cuts, the original was 6 hours long. Too bad.
@@timengineman2nd714Well, this was long before any kind of home video, so there was no market for an extended cut.
Some cut footage from classic movies was saved, but as you pointed out, most of it was just thrown away. ☹️
I even felt sad for him in the end
One reason Rome became great. If you adopted its ways and followed its laws, you could become a Roman citizen too...no matter where you were from.
Remind you of any country today?
Yes. And look what happened to the Roman Empire….
@@nativevirginian8344 True. After a thousand years of peace from England to Persia. Longest continuous period of peace in the history of Europe.
I would have seriously liked to have seen Judah Ben-Hur's relationship with the Roman
girl who was on his arm. She must have been an important daughter of some noble
Roman, with a stunning looking mother as well. I am sure he would have fit well into
the Roman culture. But, he was staying true to his roots which were imprisoned back
where he grew up.
The best movie film I love Ben hur so much!!!!!!!!
This movie has power
I love this version instead of the recent version that came out a few years ago. Mark Burnett and Roma Downey took out this major piece of Judah Ben Hur's Character development.
One of the things I liked about this movie is that not all Roman characters are straight up bad guys. Arrius was introduced as a hard man who despite all he achieved was effectively a broken one, he had lost his son and loat his faith, not only in his gods but himself. He had accepted his fate, expecing to die in battle, only to encounter a jewish slave who despite all he had endured had managed to hold on to the very thing he abandoned. When he was to die, that same slave saved his life and forced him to live despite a desire not to. In doing so he showed him that hope and faith still had value, now we see him here humbled, his faith restored and as he said, feeling a love and pride he had long lost. A Roman, and a high ranking one at that, adopted a Jew and former slave as his son, something I imagine would have been a controversal decision in Roman society and yet he does it and it is well recieved.
That’s what a spot of effortless acting calls for.Simply sophisticated and marvellous.
Ben Hur at the end of the movie is incredibly rich and powerful. Son of a consul with his entire estate as well as his riches at home
Most of his wealth in Judea was confiscated, although Simonides did save some of it.
Wonderful movie I watched the movie when I was a kid in the theatre after that several times still I luv watching this movie
Jack Hawkins played a great role here...very human
Magnificent Replicative Qualities from the Great Director Mr. Wyler and intended any Audience to witness as a Biblical Epoch!
All time classic... Never ceases to amaze!
I have a Son. He is a good man. I love and have great pride in him.
It's true it's an honor being able to watch this. ❤ Probably the best movie in all history. True classic.
THE MOVIE "BEN-HUR" WILL EVER BE FOREVER -TIMELESS!!( I AM 72 YRS). MY FIRST GLIMPSE , BEEN TAKING TO THE CINEMA AGED 10YRS. WITH ONE'S FAMILY.AND GOT HOOKED !!! SEEN IT MILLIONS OF TIMES !!! HAVE THE D.V.D. AND IT SEE'S DAY LIGHT SOMETIMES !!!! WHEN I DO ITS VERY REFRESHING LIKE SEEING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME !! R.I.P. TO ALL THE CAST & CREW & THE MOUGHULS WHO MADE THE MOVIE !!! FROM U.K. (2021). AN EPIC OF EPICS !!!!
I don't believe there is one single scene, line, or performance in this masterpiece that is less than perfection. This has to be Wlliam Wyler & Cecil B. DeMille's best legacy, ever!
17 veces vi esta maravillosa pelicula. Y la volvere a ver muchas veces mas si Dios quiere
The chariot race is what many look to as the great scene of this epic. But there are many deep scenes. Another favorite is when Ben Hur is a slave and is lead along with other slaves and they come to Nazareth. Jesus whose face we don't see gives Ben Hur water after the nasty centurion says no water for Ben Hur. When the centurion turns to yell at Jesus, he can't yell; he's angry, dumbfounded, ashamed then he turns away. And the cup never runs out of water.
I bought this movie and Ten Commandments. Almost 8 hours combined of great acting, action, story etc.
Those two movies are the actual definition of epic
@@lordhumungus7980 True. You have great movies today but you don't encounter many ones you'd call "epic"

Olha que cena impressionante, quando o General dá o anel para Ben-Hur, ele ainda desce um degrau para se equiparar a ele. Maravilhosa cena, pura percepção do diretor do filme. Sensibilidade Total!! incrível.
Assim como na cena de Jesus. Ele sempre está num ângulo onde aparece sempre acima de todos. Um dos maiores filmes épicos do século 20. Senão o maior de todos.
General, não. Cônsul.
A master piece of its time.
in 2017 went down to L.A. to see old friends. By chance this was playing in the Egyptian theater on Hollywood Blvd.
I never get tired of watching Ben Hur this one or the Silent movie with Ramon Navaro
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
If I'm correct Dad got to meet Jack Hawkins while he filmed in New Zealand. He stayed at the same hotel as Dad and my grandparents; apparently they had breakfast together each day of their stay. A lovely fellow to talk to was Dad's memory of him.
Chuck should of got 2 Oscar's...
He is practically in every scene of Ben Hur...
Imagine how difficult that must of been to do !!!!!
I see this film many times every year since I saw the first time in mid 70s...now I'm 61...still my all favourit movie...the best
Omg....gratitude..
We watch it over 60 years later. Most of today's trash will not be around in 10 years.

, A ruT,
É vero
I have not read the book, but I always imagined that after the crucifixion Judah his mom and sister all went to Rome and reunited with Arrius.
If I remember, Judah and his family and Esther rebuilt their palace in Jerusalem, while retaining the rights and protections a Roman citizen gave to Judah. He was considered far wealthier than the emperor, and used his holdings to help the nascent church.
Im adopted so this scene is special for a number of reasons
These movies are truely landmark movies ! even a few of such movies are all that humanity needs not the thousands of stupid movies produced every year !
Great, great acting.
Deep down inside, he knows he wants to find his sis & mom.
Êste filme assisto e repriso sempre que posso...dêsde os 12 anos, quando trocava gibis, na frente de um cinema catarinense, aqui no Brasil...linda película...parabéns ao cinema mundial...
Uno dei migliori film che abbia mai visto e rivisto e rivisto ancora un kolossal indimenticabile
As a Roman citizen the Apostle Paul knew Roman law well ....When one is adopted under Roman law that adoption can not be revoked....It is forever...The Sprit of Adoption that cause the believer to cry out Abba Father is also forever and far more powerful...
When he says the son he lost and you look at Hestons face. That is real acting.
At the acadamy awards ben her hasnever been passed for the amount of oscars won ben hur and moses
In that story, Ben-Hur is just likeable man. Everywhere he goes. And even that wasn't enough to stop abuse and war. There is a dark element preventing the world for being truly happy. Selfishness. The message of that movie is pretty clear to me.
The Apostle Paul said people would be "lovers of themselves" in the time of the end....he put it at the top of his list describing last days at 2Tim 3...exact opposite of what Jesus said to do: Love your heavenly father and love your Neighbor(others/not self)
THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE.... AWESOME SCORE AND ACTORS...
The greatest movie ever made imho! Superb
The Romans were not the bastards, as some people would like to believe us! They behave intelligent, civilized, as a human being with a sophisticated civilization! As you can see here, the consul Qintus Arrius give help for Judah to flee from the ship, but he helped the consul in need, and finally save his life! After this great event the Roman consul adopted him as his own son, and give him all of his property!

2:24 Expected them to hug like father and son but....
That's the Roman hug
Ben Hur, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. All four movies contend for the #1 spot of best movies ever in my opinion.
Superlative portrayal of history in motion picture. One must see this film before dying. Unfortunately Hollywood lost the golden rhythm after these magnum Opera and lost in slapstick entertainers like Jamesbond and other erotic kind of movies. But this was the period of sunshine. You are directly exported to the Roman era as it was made 2500 years ago. Today's generation must see to make one like this!
Im wondering the name of the music at begin the scene...
Está uma das mais isuberante sena
Magnífica
Q.e.p.d. excelente actor.y sus film
as I know Charles was personally very good person too...
One of the best
This Movie is the GOAT!
The Scorpions And Holy Prophets Can't Get On With Out Me There It Is
-Pontius Pilate
Tiberius Caesar , yep 👍, it was Pontious Pilate as the Roman procurator of the province of Judea, by whose sklillful maneuvering, Jesus escaped from death by crucifixion. Pilate was too clever and bold in providing a safe passage to Jesus while beguiling the masses as his soldiers furthered the rumour of Jesus’s ascension to the Heavans. Very smart move by Pilate 10/10☝️
Exactly - the Hindenburg and Titanic had pontius pilots as well, steering clear of disaster, the fire and ice swell.
The more the WORDS THE LESS THE MEANING.
Goats and Jehovah!
@@Lahoreumar - "Escaped" from death by crucifixion? WTF????
Numero Uno among all films 🥰
Most tellings treat Pontius Pilate as a villain. This movie treats him more like he was, a reluctant civil servant enforcing laws because he had to.
The actor that plays him, Frank Thring, always reminds me of Vincent Price. He did a number of these sand & sandals movies.
……Frank Thring was a highly regarded Australian actor. To see him perform, on stage, was a wonderful experience………
@@elizabethroberts6215 He also gave excellent performances in "The Vikings," "El Cid," and "King of Kings."
His eyes are no longer full of hate as they were in earlier scenes
Mi associo a te, oh Giuda Ben Hur, in questa scena con questa mia preghiera:"ASan Domenico fondatore del Santo Rosario, Scuola di Maria Santissima, nostra madre e maestra, nonché matrona, ché per lei, io sottoscritto, Aldo Gigliarano, ho studiato latino come segno che esaudirà questa mia preghiera:Visitazione della Beata Vergine Maria - Oh come esulta la favorita della tua visita tanto arricchita! Ti aspetto! Vieni, oh clemente, oh pia, oh del Lacinio, dolce Maria ed io, Aldo, possa servirti come tuo discepolo e schiavetto come nell'antica Pompei perché io ho il gusto dell'antico che rispecchia sereno i mutamenti dei tempi, della società e della mia vita come l'arte romanica, per cui vorrei che tu mi insegnassi a parlare bene latino come lo sapevano parlare bene gli abitanti dell'antica Pompei, specialmente la Santa Perpetua e la sua schiava amata, Felicita! Amen! Alleluja!".
Without victory and superior horses there is no reward.
Charlton here and like Moses was great - 1959 ..
At 1:42, the guy in front to the immediate left of Jack Hawkins (saying "Bravo!") looks a lot like Joe Pesci.
I've always thought that! The first time I noticed him, I was like, 'Wait a minute, Joe Pesci was in Ben-Hur?' LOL
Was he in Rome, getting his shine box?
Ave Ben Hur! Possa Iddio farmi testimoniare la fede nella mia città e nel mio Dio, come l'hai testimoniata tu con la tua patria ed il nostro Dio, per questo ti dedico questa mia preghiera:"ASan Dionigi Patrono di Crotone, che gli onori dell'Areopago lasciasti per la follìa della Croce e al Cristianesimo nascente portasti il contributo dell'ingegno e dell'elevata condizione sociale. A questo secolo e millennio superbo dica il tuo esempio che la Fede, lungi dall'essere avversa alla Scienza, la invoca e innalza, e che è fatal pregiudizio quello che dalla religione distoglie le classi più elevate della società come quella a cui appartiene la nobile famiglia dei Berlingieri di Crotone, nella cui Cappella, al Cimitero di Crotone, io sottoscritto, Aldi Gigliarano, ho recitato Messe e preghiere con Padre Cristoforo, il quale se l'è portato in Uganda, suo Paese d'origine, il mio Creast dell'Incrociatore Vittorio Veneto, che così diventi la navicella del mio Spirito. Noi siamo parte di quel gregge che l'Apostolo delle Genti ti affidava, elevandoti a Pastore, perciò Tu sei il patrono nato di questa città. Al tuo patrocinio, reso più forte da quello della Regina di Capocolonna, affidiamo il nostro destino e quello della nostra Patria, la cui grandezza è inseparabile dalla sua Fede religiosa. Benedici, oh Santo Patrono, i nostri campi, il nostro mare e le nostre belle donne e altrettanto virtuose. Benedici chi è preposto alla Pubblica cosa e tutti indistintamente i cittadini, specialmente apprendisti di mestieri, oranti, studenti, studentesse e disoccupati come me, Aldo. Benedici il nostro Arcivescovo, tuo degno successore e il Clero che lo aiuti sempre nel suo difficile arringo. Solleva la tua mano paterna sulla balda gioventù effondendogli lo Spirito Santo, e, nella tua larga benedizione, ritrovi ognuno il pegno sicuro per il proprio bel posto in Paradiso (anche a svantaggio di quanti ci ostacolano in tale ricerca o cammino)! Amen!".
The best movie ever.
This made Judah have more power over mesala. Mesala knew this and was scared
William Wyler was a genius.
Yea he said: It takes a Jew to make a successful movie about Christ.
@@janviljoen41 Makes more sense than it seems, since Christ was a Jew.
I’ve always believed in the movie Ben-Hur that at the end of the movie he should have left And went back to Rome and live out his new life with his adopted father after sorting out his business and affairs and obtaining revenge and never giving back the ring.
Me too and I know very well that the Consul would have received Juda's mother and sister in a good way, he would have continued to gain honor and fame for his Father and everyone would have lived happily, Who knows even the Consul could have fallen in love with his mother, she was very pretty before becoming a leper and also a lady of great fortune and good manners hahaha
Pontius Pilate accurately portrays the environment regarding prophets at the time ("the holy prophets can't get on without me.") This is critical when addressing the historicity of Jesus, because while we have records of men that bear similarities to the person described in The Bible, the reality is that the business of being a prophet was a sort of streetcorner, dime-a-dozen business at the time. It was almost a joke by that time. People have this idea of this one person stepping out as a prophet, but the person of Jesus is smeared out across several people. This is due to Judaism's concept of a Messiah overlapping with Roman dictatorship, with many citizens assuming it was the Roman's that the Messiah was supposed to overthrow. This lead to many, many opportunists and cults in Judea. It there is no mystery why some Jesus-like character would inevitably emerge from such a political climate.
Pseudo-intellectuals on RUclips are dime-a-dozen. There was no smorgasbord of "prophets" made into a single fictional person since Tacitus directly mentions Jesus.
@@Tempusverum He mentions a trial of such a person whom he did not directly observe. Furthermore, a composite of people's experiences with prophets seems more likely when people attempted to write on Jesus after the fact of his death. Was there some dude named Jesus that could have been a prophet? Probably, as as there is someone now named Jésus. When we talk about a historical Jesus, such a person would have to have several of those accounts he is given credit for verified.
It's an almost impossible task to be sure, which is why I am speaking from what is more likely. And I admit you are correct about RUclips, that we could scarcely find a time where we weren't bombarded with scores of false "prophets" trying to sell us snake oil.
It’s a classic

Goddamn this movie's good.
I’m pretty sure there were no electric water pumps for the fountains back in those days…
Like all Roman plumbing, the fountains used gravity to create the water pressure. Google it for details.
diese wohl teuerste, aufwendig produzierte und zugleich bewegenste Verfilmung eines wunderbaren "Märchens" war, ist und bleibt meine unverrückbare Nummer 1 (!)
I wonder how different it is to speak latin. Is it really more difficult than German, English, or whatever other modern language?
Not for a Roman..!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍
See! Not all imperialists are jerks!
They just can't make films like this today anymore. What dreck today!
How did they get the fountains to work like that?
The Romans were masters at moving water. A water source from a higher elevation was directed to a low spot in this room, thus creating pressure. The height of this fountain, however, may have been exaggerated for the film.
