Ben Hur: the comentary
Currently I am watching the Overture. Very impressive movie score, I think I might enjoy this. I’ve read the book but it was a long time ago. I think he got married and I hope he will in the movie. The music very lovely! I suppose I shouldn’t be staying up as late as I am going to since the movie is over three hours long but… I might not watch all of it.
The credits are currently rolling. Just before them was the scene of Jesus’s birth in the manger.
Things are currently happening for the credits are done, hundreds of Roman Soldiers are on the march. And since I don’t intend to type for the entire duration of the movie I am going to stop for a bit.
I thought the girl’s name was Esther. Currently I’m multitasking, I’m watching Ben Hur and playing on Neopets.com. But right now I’m just writing on my post. Every time I start a new paragraph it will mean that I have progressed a bit more into the movie.
Currently he’s a galley slave and the battle is about to begin. If I remember corectly the boat sinks and he saves the leaders life.
The battle is pretty exciting… Boats are sinking every where and the music is really going. Firess are blazing and things are happening. They are about to be rammed.
They just were rammed and the boat is about to go down. I think this may be an interesting movie. He just grabbed the keys from the warden and is unlocking the galley slaves. Fire is all over the ship. It will soon be down but most of the galley slaves won’t be on it. This is a very exciting movie. He just saved the life of the captain who saved his by keeping him unlocked. I suppose I should let you just buy the movie and then see what happens.
The story has progressed quite a bit more. They did change it a bit from the book, but still, it is rather romantic in a way. I hope I get to the chariot race soon.
Finally I have gotten to the intermission. I am thankful that I have the skip button so that I will not be up all night. This move is almost four hours long. And I started it past nine!
With ample use of the skip button(for I took a few breaks) I have now reached the end and it is only a bit passed midnight. So now I’m going to bed.
Verdict: A very, very, impressive movie. Six stars on a Six Star scale.
