Synopsis

The film is notable for presenting a more human Jesus, compared to more solemn portrayals in earlier films; here Jesus laughs and cries like anyone else. Among other things, he weeps at Joseph’s funeral, throws stones in Lake Galilee when meeting Simon Peter and James son of Zebedee for the first time, dances at the wedding at Cana, and starts a water-splashing fight with his disciples as well. Satan is portrayed as a man in modern dress (and as a woman in red). During his temptation of Jesus, he shows him the Earth from the vantage point of space. Satan also shows Jesus images of wars and destruction carried out in his name. The film adds an apocryphal Roman historian named “Livio” who watches and comments as events unfold; he is presumably named after Livy.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

karenn1 Quite possibly the worst Jesus movie I've ever seen. I know "artistic liberties" are taken in all movies, but this script molested the Bible, and the writer should be called before a Tribunal at the Hague for torturing Scripture.I didn't mind Jesus being considerably more light-hearted than in most movies (even though Isaiah describes Him as "A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"), but I did resent the gratuitous liberties taken with actual Bible accounts.Whether it's the depiction of the Christ announcing his impending death to His mother, the death scene of His earthly father Joseph, the timing and method of choosing the 12, the extremely poor sound mixing ... well, it would take a pamphlet to cover every insulting aspect of this illegitimate facsimile of a "Bible" movie.The kindest thing I can say for this production is that Debra Messing made a drop-dead gorgeous hooker, Mary M. From all other errors in this movie, I wouldn't expect the writer to do a bit of research and discover that Magdalene actually wasn't a prostitute.I turned it off after Jesus told His mother that He would die in a couple days. So, I agonized through much of it, but enough was enough.I don't know what Suzette Couture is doing for a living nowadays, but it should be criminal if she is still trying to impersonate a writer.I don't want to sell the movie on Ebay; my conscience wouldn't let me do that. Maybe I'll sail it like a Frisbee and let the pieces fall where they may. I do know I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
nikolahelen Hey guys,I love the movie. Keep up the good work, distributing it. Jesus must be glorified!I myself have created a website about Jesus with the purpose of providing a vast amount of information about Jesus. Please check it out, as You will find there the One of a Kind "The Four In One Gospel of Jesus" Project, the result of more than 10 years of theological work of an international and inter cultural team of people, as well as many interesting sections like: the life of Jesus, facts about Jesus, biography of Jesus, Jesus pictures, Jesus books, Jesus devotions, Jesus videos, Jesus articles, Jesus to a child section, Jesus music, poems about Jesus, Jesus art section with clip art, paintings, wallpapers, drawings, screen savers, graphics, photos, posters, portraits, statues of Jesus, Jokes, Jesus services section and much much more. I am sure You will be very blessed.http://www.life-of-Jesus.orgGreetings!Nikola Dimitrov Admin of the Life of Jesus website
leeforpresident35 I enjoyed this film immensely I loved Jesus of Nazareth too, but this Jesus laughs,cries, but most importantly.....HE BLINKS HIS EYES!!!!! Seeing G.W. Bailey as Livio it kept reminding me of the "Police Academy" movies. Gary Oldman's Pilate, was very accurate to the description by Josephus, of Pilate's cruelty. I'm probably going to be offending a lot of catholics here, but the storyline was way too Catholicized for my taste. The baptism for example, John the Baptizer puts a cupped handful of water while Jesus is kneeling in the Jordan "Puddle" on Jesus' head the Greek word for baptize is BAPTIZO which means to IMMERSE in the crucifixion scene it looks like a Jew is doing the nailing, The Romans were the ones who did the nailing. and why could they not use the entire Greek Latin and Hebrew on the Title instead of just INRI?? Jaqueline Bisset I believe is too much of a sex symbol to play the Virgin Mary.
dilbertsuperman I can't recommend this film simply on the fact that it has one huge self-serving monstrous glaring inaccuracy about its' main character. Jesus was black. Anyone who knows theological history recognizes this as historical fact. the people of those times would be what we call black people in America. Jesus was a brother, and I don't see any brother on the cover of this movie- hence- it is utter trash, a myth and extremely ridiculous in this day of knowledge to continue to perpetuate damaging myths about history that enforce racial oppression. Blacks are supposed to hate their blackness and worship white Jesus. But.. white Jesus.. never existed!
