Braveheart
R
There is plenty that can be said about "Braveheart" which was release in 1995. It is the story of William Wallace's campaign against the British in order to secure the freedom for Scotland. Mel Gibson, who played Wallace, won both best director Oscar as well as best picture. the film has a beautiful music score by James Homer, who went on two years a music score Oscar for composing "Titanic." Six years after the film is released to theatres, it's still fresh in people's minds today. It's a powerful three-hour epic and I urge you to see this film. You're going to love it.
Mel gibson the true hero of all times.A true oscar film full of quality.
Ben-Hur
G
Ben-Hur has recently been ranked as one of the one hundred greatest films of all time, and with good reason. Forty years later it remains one of the classics of cinema, as well as a witness for the redeeming power of Jesus Christ. Based on the famous novel, the film tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur, a wealthy Jewish prince living during the time of Christ who is wrongly accused of murdering the Roman governor. [The governor, however, is not killed during the incident of the falling tiles. He recovers. This is important because it means Judah is sentenced to die in the galleys not only for an accident, but for an accident which does not even result in permanent injury.] Judah, his mother and daughter are imprisoned for the crime by Judah's childhood friend, the Roman Masala. Judah is sentenced to be a galley slave and swears revenge on Masala. As Judah works to exact his revenge, a young carpenter begins his ministry. The film's story dovetails into a climatic confrontation between Judah and Masala, until finally Judah learns that love triumphs over hate, becoming a follower of Jesus, the crucified carpenter. This film is one of the great G-rated biblical epics that Hollywood used to produce, and I highly recommend it. A few scenes of violence may be intense for young children, but little of it is graphic. Overall, the film's message of peace through salvation in Christ makes this a wonderful film and a testimony to non-believers.
