Ben Hur

Before I watch this movie, I belived that there's no relationship between friendship and religion. But in this movie Ben Hur belived his god so he had a conflict with his best friend Messala. I felt how religion power is strong.Most Japanese people don't belive in particuler religion. Therefore I don't care about what religion does my friends belive in. I remember when I studied at U.S.A last year, one of my friend asked me what is my religion. I answered I don't belive in particuler religion. Then he said "it's interesting" and start to talk about his religion. Most people in the world belive in some religion. But when I studied at U.S.A I never saw some　exchange student fought with other student because there religion are diffrent. For this reason, I want to belive that friendship can get over the religion wall.

Secoundly, I felt interesting that this movie don't put spotlight on Jesus Christ. Most of the Christian movie pay attention to Jesus Christ and tell how great he was. But in this movie it remark at Ben Hur, who live in same time with Christ. For this, I could understand how Judah's people suffer from Roman Empire and how storngly they belive in their god. This made me to understand the reason why Christ word helped Judah's people.

Finaly, I liked this movie. Because this movie don't just tell Jesus Christ is great. This movie tell us the back ground of the period that Jesus lived. So we can know more easily why Chirist was great.
