Ben-Hur

 

Why?

This movie was also recommended by Tubi. I think I need to expand my movie horizons just a tad. 

What in the world?

An old man is narrating the novel of Ben Hur written by some dead guy in Indiana.

Personal thoughts

This movie was something else. I mean it does kind of make sense why it wasn't that good but I can't stop thinking about the old guy narrator. He would do these random turns to look at different camera angles and I honestly loved it so much. It's probably going to get me through the days honestly. Oh actual storywise there was nothing of note there. I mean it was the telling of a story.

Score

I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10 almost based solely on the narrator. The animation was absolutely atrocious at times and I loved every minute that I had to look at some differently animated horses running around a track. The people were ok I think but the angels shone blue for some reason which was an artistic choice that didn't make sense to me but I could understand it. 

Watch what you love,
