  • The point is that there is no human face that could represent the face of Jesus. Instead of that, the director shows Jesus from the back and the Roman centurion. It can not be seen well in this video, but when centurion sees Jesus, his face reflects feelings of surprise, wonder, awe, admiration, weakness, fury... In this way the director creates the image of Jesus in each viewer individually. Ingenious, isn’t it? The expression on Charlton Heston’s face completes that image. That's the point!

  • Thanks for posting---back when movies were made with genuine class and Christianity wasn't spat upon by the now drugged out anti-right anti-American Hollywood. Also recommend "El Cid" with the great Mr. Heston if anyone hasn't had a chance to see. God bless.

  • probably the best movie scene in history

  • @JohnGalt79

    Amen to that!

  • @Davemaxable i'm looking for that scene for ages,it's really powerful!

  • Could you post the clip later in the movie when Ben Hur gives Christ a drink after he has fallen down while carrying His Cross? That would make a great companion piece. Thanks.

  • jesus is my brother and the only son of god

  • L'un de mes passages préférés dans le film, si ce n'est mon passage préféré.

    Croiser CE regard......

  • @gligabre

    Very well said! Any scene is more powerful when it's left up to the viewer's imagination!  THANKS for an articulate, intelligent, thoughtful & sensitive comment! :-)

  • I totally recommend this film for everyone. Ok, maybe not a Muslim. Hmm, then again, maybe a Muslim. The film is of the best kind. God bless Metro Goldwin Meyer. The last of the Christian corporations in the film world.

  • Amazing film, unlike the garbage they produced nowadays.
