I am a big fan of Ben Hur and i seen many epics including Lawrence of Arabia, Gone with the Wind, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Dr Zhivago and The Godfather and i didnt believe that any of these Great epics were bigger and more grand than Ben Hur but then i saw the Ten Commandments the other day and i was Blown away. I saw a movie as equally large and grand as Ben hur. The scope, the grandure of the movie was very impressive and even more impressive for the time that it was made. One thing that i did not expect was that it was a very good love story as well. I truely felt sory for moses and nefratiri cause they really did love eachother and unfortunately went down different paths. Just as powerful as Ben Hur as well with the religious aspect of it with the parting of the red sea and moses throwing the tablets of the ten commandments onto the people who did not follow gods law. Im very suprised that this movie did not win Best picture of 1956 considering what it was going up against. and very suprised that it was not chosen to be part of the 100 greatest films. A very impressive piece of work gone un celebrated
