Should Ben-Hur stayed a Roman or sent the ring back?

I think he loved Arrius as a father, but he was a Jew first and foremost. He couldn’t remain true to who he was if he didn’t send it back.

Right but what should he have actually done? Did he make right choice or not?

It happened near the end of the film so there’s no real way of knowing. However, it’s pretty clearly implied that he became a follower of Christ, so I’d say he chose the right path.

Did you see it on the big screen a couple of weeks ago? THAT is a must-see.

Plenty of jews were Roman citizens. Did he renounce his citizenship or just embrace his jewness? It's been a long time since I've seen the movie.

Yup. Went and saw it at Malco in Madison . Was awesome. It was a Thursday night. Too bad only eight of us were in the theatre.

GWTW played Thursday night at same theater last week. Sold out of course.
