Why the fuck do we keep those jobs in existence? Clearly people hate working there, clearly people hate being rung up by those working there, clearly the only reason so much is spent on the sales effort or possible to spend on it is because of the margins being too high to begin with and since it's not a productive job replacing it with something else by either taxing those companies more or lowering the price of the products so that people can consume other things would not net a loss of jobs overall.

It's sad to see Charlton in his heydays , & think of his declining years as a senior. But he did live a full life. No one can beat your caliber Mr. Heston. You are one of a kind. Nov. 2023.
"You have the spirit to fight back. But the good sense to control it." Everyone has the hate. Fewer have the spirit. I've never seen anyone gain the sense without a memorable experience of lacking it. The true strength comes from using your spirit to contain your hate inside your sense. Strength like a Bomb is nothing compared to Strength like a Power Plant. Hate is valuable. Sense is undervalued.
What I love about this movie, my favorite, by the way, is that it's not computerized. It doesn't look fake. The people are genuine and so are the costumes. Amazing and THE best movie ever made!
Most slaves would have cowered and stayed as they were so as not to provoke further beating. Judah was somewhat reckless in turning around in defiance, that must have shocked Arrius.
Yes, but after more than three years serving in a galley, his spirit still wasn't broken. A broken man would've reacted totally differently to the lash.
Raised mormon. No TV on the sabbath. Except for movies like Ben hur and the ten commandments. I was little and always mixed the Charlton Heston ones up. Love them both though.
Their army, yes! Their navy was still in the formative stage at this point. It took Pompey the Great to finally clear the entire Mediterranean of the Cilician pirates: sites.google.com/site/romanonthedefense/home/pirates
In these last years this scene has given me so much strength, even when I have had to bend knee and lie and beg, by the end of the day I never let them change my heart, oppressors don't deserve the truth for they give none.
@@tabibnialawfirm I guess it does - it gives you something worth living for. Agreed - I have never been a slave on a ship, it was a common practice at that time.
Not shown was the motivational chants to accompany the rowing at attack speed. "Hanc navem amamus!" was repeated, one stroke per word. In English - "We love this ship!" So THERE was the love you're looking for.
For my money, one of many great scenes in this epic. Watch the roman soldier as Ben Hur turns and makes a move towards Arias: he pivots and gets ready to draw his sword to protect The Council...great acting and scene! Now get rowing all you 41's out there!!
@@tommyodonovan3883 Another great scene and direction was when Judah's Mother and sister are arrested, And his mother grabs Masala's arm as she is lead away. Malasa shrugs if off but you see the shame and guilt he feels. Every scene in this movie was acted and directed to tell the whole story of each character. Even though this film won many awards it is never acknowledged as one of, if not the greatest films of all time. it is underrated and in mind every bit as good or better than any film, ever.
Interesting to note that Wyler did Ben-Hur on the heels of The Big Country. Wyler also directed The Best Years of Our Lives, Friendly Persuasion, Roman Holiday, and The Children's Hour, he was a very versatile director.
Hate is just like being a slave tied to an oar. It will take you to the bottom of the ocean where is cold dark and void of life. Choose love........and live..........forever. It's easy to hate..........it takes hard lessons to love.
OH MAN! IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THIS SCENE. I EVEN QUOTE IT OCCASIONALLY. IT'S COOL TO SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT THIS APPEALS TO. THANKS FOR UP LOADING IT!!

His surname was ‘Brynner’. And that is a quote from his character of Ramses, which he said several times’, in 1956 film ‘The Ten Commandments’, which, of course, starred Charlton Heston as Moses. Another great role for a great actor.
Actually, the folks who pulled the oars of a Roman warship were soldiers not slaves! Once the ship engaged an enemy vessel, they came up topside to fight! "In Imperial times, provincials who were free men became the mainstay of the Roman rowing force."
That's true, Roman (and earlier Greek) galleys were manned by professional oarsmen, well-fed, well-drilled, and proud of their trade. The Romans WOULD recruit slaves as oarsmen during times of war but on enlistment their owners were compensated and the slaves given their freedom, a free man is a motivated man. However at the time General Wallace wrote the novel it was assumed galley rowers were always slaves but that didn't start until the Ottoman Empire began the practice many centuries later.
+bursegsardaukar Perhaps, but I don't think that was the point, which was to show that Arrius had lost nearly all hope in life, for some reason. Judah asked him about it later, but he wouldn't answer--something really bad must have happened.
Rbrtck it really is not explained well but during the adoption party scene later in the movie arius mentions that Ben hur is like the son he lost so I'm guessing we are supposed to infer he lost his faith in goodness when his son died
Therese O'Brien Good catch! And I think that Arrius not only lost faith in goodness, but much/most of his will to live, as well. Judah had to fight to keep him alive to row ;) after his flagship was sunk.
@@thereseo6008 "not explained well"...tbh I would say that would be more of a subtle storytelling. Arrius' backstory was probably not considered important to show or elaborate much about in relation to the main story of the film (almost everything in the film is from Judah's POV) and the filmmakers I suspect opted to hint at it through bits of dialogue over several scenes.
This scene is significant because the Consul's belief in the power of hate is directly contrary to the message of love which Christ is preaching elsewhere.
Morning meeting working for Corporate America, this man is ill replace him, this man has been giving you trouble that will stop! Three years at other cubicles, hate will keep you in health care!
"Hate gives you strength 41." Yes, I thought so too for much of my life, for it does so in the short term as does revenge but I learned as Ben Hur did that both always leaves you empty and thirsty where as Jesus Christ is the Living Water, the Water of Life, following His ways leads to a true life of peace that continues beyond the grave.
They used to show this movie annually on network TV. It was epic. I feel that they would not show it today because A. Is shows religious faith. B. The former pres of the NRA stars in it and C. The slavery and imprisonment would offend the losers out there.
They still show it every year around Easter. A. Sad that you missed it. B. Also sad that you are accusing other people of taking it off the air instead of checking the listings. and C. Pretty sad that you call slaves and prisoners "losers". All that adds up to tell me you aren't really a christian.
LENNINGRAD ... and BALITA of ASIN band ... drowned the hate and Benhur saw them probably before he was born ... nine months in womb and it's told by her mother ... the story continued ... on my own interpretation ... good morning
@Tony63909 Surely to have better rowing performance (also if the ill man recovers). However, it is often said that historically there weren't slaves but trained rowers in those ships, because they couldn't allow the slightest lack of disciplin during a battle (rowing a trireme or a quinquereme has to be very difficult due to the small distance between the oars)
Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist. Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on RUclips. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World. Watching this video will give hope to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.

@@dvdortiz9031 You write: *"You do not see the miracles happening today that way because there is no need for them to be displayed as you wish!"* - It's not about what I want or what you want, it's about the fact that in the first century miracles accompanied the Church of Christ, and for 2000 years we see no miracles, but we see hundreds of churches claiming to be the Church of Christ. You write: *"What is the Church of christ?"* - What can we know about the Church of Christ? What was she like? We know about the Church of Christ only what is known from the books of the New Testament. We do not know of any other Church of Christ outside the New Testament. What was the Church of Christ in the books of the New Testament? The church was a strictly hierarchical organization composed of believers baptized with the Holy Spirit, where the gifts of the Holy Spirit were manifested. As written: *"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."* (1 Corinthians 12:27-28). This was the Church of Christ in the first century, but for 2000 years we no longer see such a Church of Christ, there are no Apostles, no prophets, no one has miraculous powers and gifts of healing. But we see gatherings of people headed only by teachers speaking in the name of Christ, but not having the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said: *"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"* (Mark 16:17-18). There we also read: *"So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following"* (Mark 16:19-20). I would like to draw your attention to these words: *"the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following".* that is, miracles reinforce the word of God and they are important for the preaching of the teachings of Jesus. For 2000 years, including our time, we have not seen any believers who have accompanied or are accompanying these signs. But in the books of the New Testament we read that in the first century, believers performed many miracles. As written: *“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people”* (Acts 6:8). *“Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them”* (Acts 15:12). *"Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city"* (Acts 8:5-8). Where are Stephanes, Barnabas, Pauls in our time? Where is Philip, who brings great joy to the cities? In which church do the blind gain sight? Where are the lame and bedridden jumping for the joy of being healed? Where are demons cast out? Where are the dead raised? Where are the Prophets? Where do they lay hands on the sick and get rid of sickness? Such miracles are not performed in any church, anywhere in the world. Jesus said: *“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”* (John 14:12). But where are these believers now doing the works of Jesus and even more than Jesus himself did? The Church of Christ was destroyed in the first century and for 2000 years false churches appear that claim to be the Church of Christ but do not have the testimony of God, that is, miracles. It was by miracles that God testified about the Church of Christ, just as he testified about Jesus. As written: *“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”* (Acts 2:22). God testified about Jesus, and then about the Church of Christ by miracles. But the Church of Christ was destroyed in the same way as Christ was killed in due time, and therefore the signs and wonders that accompanied the Church ceased, and now She has been buried for 2000 years, but will rise in the last days as Jesus rose again. The prophecy of the death and resurrection of the Church is present in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). "Revelation" also prophesies about the emergence of the Church: *“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”* (Revelation 12:1). The emergence of the Church will just be a great sign of the imminent Coming of Christ.
@benhurfanclub Yes, and i like the part with the naval battle very much; it is still very rare to have movies with sea battles involving galleyships ;-)
@tinosnit Actually, after the establishment of the Roman Empire, the consuls were merely a figurative representative of Rome’s republican heritage and held very little power and authority, with the emperor (Caesar) acting as the supreme leader. So it actually makes sense that a consul was on the ship. The only way your analogy makes sense is if Caesar himself was on the ship.
A good film but bad history there were no slaves in the Roman Navy each rower had a sword strapped to his bench and the rowers and in an sea battle they could be called up as a reserve if things got difficult
……the Director, William Wyler, chose American actors’ for the Jews’, British actors’ for the Romans’, & a smattering of Australian, Irish, Welsh, other British actors’ for supporting cast…… It worked well………

The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

You do not see the miracles happening today that way because there is no need for them to be displayed as you wish!!!
What is the Church of christ?
@@dvdortiz9031 You write: *"You do not see the miracles happening today that way because there is no need for them to be displayed as you wish!"* - It's not about what I want or what you want, it's about the fact that in the first century miracles accompanied the Church of Christ, and for 2000 years we see no miracles, but we see hundreds of churches claiming to be the Church of Christ.
You write: *"What is the Church of christ?"* - What can we know about the Church of Christ? What was she like? We know about the Church of Christ only what is known from the books of the New Testament. We do not know of any other Church of Christ outside the New Testament. What was the Church of Christ in the books of the New Testament? The church was a strictly hierarchical organization composed of believers baptized with the Holy Spirit, where the gifts of the Holy Spirit were manifested.
As written: *"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."* (1 Corinthians 12:27-28).
This was the Church of Christ in the first century, but for 2000 years we no longer see such a Church of Christ, there are no Apostles, no prophets, no one has miraculous powers and gifts of healing. But we see gatherings of people headed only by teachers speaking in the name of Christ, but not having the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said: *"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"* (Mark 16:17-18).
There we also read: *"So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following"* (Mark 16:19-20).
I would like to draw your attention to these words: *"the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following".*
that is, miracles reinforce the word of God and they are important for the preaching of the teachings of Jesus.
For 2000 years, including our time, we have not seen any believers who have accompanied or are accompanying these signs. But in the books of the New Testament we read that in the first century, believers performed many miracles.
As written: *“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people”* (Acts 6:8).
*“Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them”* (Acts 15:12).
*"Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city"* (Acts 8:5-8).
Where are Stephanes, Barnabas, Pauls in our time? Where is Philip, who brings great joy to the cities?
In which church do the blind gain sight? Where are the lame and bedridden jumping for the joy of being healed? Where are demons cast out? Where are the dead raised? Where are the Prophets? Where do they lay hands on the sick and get rid of sickness? Such miracles are not performed in any church, anywhere in the world.
Jesus said: *“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”* (John 14:12).
But where are these believers now doing the works of Jesus and even more than Jesus himself did?
The Church of Christ was destroyed in the first century and for 2000 years false churches appear that claim to be the Church of Christ but do not have the testimony of God, that is, miracles. It was by miracles that God testified about the Church of Christ, just as he testified about Jesus.
As written: *“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”* (Acts 2:22).
God testified about Jesus, and then about the Church of Christ by miracles. But the Church of Christ was destroyed in the same way as Christ was killed in due time, and therefore the signs and wonders that accompanied the Church ceased, and now She has been buried for 2000 years, but will rise in the last days as Jesus rose again.
The prophecy of the death and resurrection of the Church is present in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).
"Revelation" also prophesies about the emergence of the Church: *“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”* (Revelation 12:1).
The emergence of the Church will just be a great sign of the imminent Coming of Christ.
Imagine being born into a time of being a slave. That's just how you lived your time on earth.
I would say most of us have it pretty good.

Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny.
@benhurfanclub Yes, and i like the part with the naval battle very much; it is still very rare to have movies with sea battles involving galleyships ;-)
"Replace him" is code for "throw him overboard".

He beginning of the call center.
It’s true, it’s F***d up, but true.
I remember these days, the real ones, on those ships. It seems like yesterday.
What would they think if we were here tonight?
You're quite old!!
@tinosnit
Actually, after the establishment of the Roman Empire, the consuls were merely a figurative representative of Rome’s republican heritage and held very little power and authority, with the emperor (Caesar) acting as the supreme leader. So it actually makes sense that a consul was on the ship. The only way your analogy makes sense is if Caesar himself was on the ship.
@TheMrBodom can you tell why is this quote in the beginning of the song?
hell yes.
Hate keeps a man alive....
Tall Poppy Syndrome. He noticed Judah because he was sitting up straight instead of wilting.
A good film but bad history there were no slaves in the Roman Navy each rower had a sword strapped to his bench and the rowers and in an sea battle they could be called up as a reserve if things got difficult
thares nothing like hate to keep you motivating!! LOL...
great of greatest movie ever!!!
*Hate keeps a man alive, it gives him strength* I wonder how factual is that?
……reckon it’s very factual……
Thanks for the info, it's good to know. :)
……the Director, William Wyler, chose American actors’ for the Jews’, British actors’ for the Romans’, & a smattering of Australian, Irish, Welsh, other British actors’ for supporting cast……
It worked well………
👍👍👍
Are you sure Marcus Aurelius isn’t really Emperor Sheev Palpatine? That line about “Hate keeps a man alive, it gives him strength” damn sure sounds like something the Sith would say!
Maravilha
They don't make them like this anymore
I think Arthur Dent may have been sitting next to him. Though he may have lost his dressing gown.
