"I rented the DVD. I turned it off when Jesus was scourged by the gang of sadistic Roman soldiers. I certainly wouldn't let any of my children look at it and anyone I held to respect. And I never want to ever see it again!"Your comments above are very much like what others have told me. In fact it was comments like those that lead me to not see the movie. It was enough for me to know I had no interest in seeing it.
" It's cinematography was sloppy. BRAVEHEART was much better done from a production value point of view. And this attempt to be truthful to this extinct foreign tongue was ludicrous."
having not seen the movie it's hard for me to respond, however I see why someone would do a movie like this in the actual language if one thought they wer truly dedicated to absolute accuracy.
"But it has a following I'm sure."
Clearly.
"In 10 more years we'll have another rendering."
Entirely possible.
" Gee, I wonder what Orson Wells would have done. He did want to make a Jesus film with himself in the title role. Ray Hughes
"I take you as you are
And make of you what I will,
Skunk-bear, carcajou, bloodthirsty
Non-survivor.
Lord, let me die but not die out." THE LAST WOLVERINE by James Dickey"
Not sure the point of that but your assertion that this movie was made for profit still doesn't hold water. I suggest you read up on the back story of the making of this film.
