The one thing you have to enjoy in a movie like Ben-Hur, produced 60 years ago, is the enormous number of extras. When watching these kinds of films—in this case, a sword-and-sandal film—in the 21st century, one has to marvel not at the story (dumb) and acting (dumb), but at all of the actually human beings who fill this and that scene. It’s fucking insane. So many bodies. Real bodies. Bodies not generated by computers. Wow. Ben-Hur.
