     Richards analysis of Ben Hur is beyond its time. The gigantic budget proved worthy as this epic movie told the tale of Christ in some color. I agree with the majority of the choices he followed from the bible minus his choice of John 18-19 of Jesus before Pilate. I feel having Jesus saying "My kingdom is not of this world" is not fitting. The rest of the story is fine and especially the revolutionary use of color in scenes with Christ.

    I'm not sure what you mean by saying the analysis "is beyond its time." Could you elaborate on that? It sounds like it might be a positive thing, but I'm not sure.

    Could you also explain _why_ you think going with John by quoting Jesus' statement "My kingdom is not of this world" didn't fit to the rest of the movie? Doesn't this explain why Ben Hur was wrong trying to raise legions for Jesus and trying to free or at least revenge him?
