Our Community Bible Study is watching this movie. 

 I have seen it 3 times now and still love it.

What is so nice about it....well, there are many things in my opinion.

First, it is the very first movie made of Jesus that the actor actually looks like what He may of looked liked.  He looks as the men of the mid east.  He does not look like Hollywood's Victorian male with blue eyes and blondish brown hair.

This one looks like first century Israel male.

Secondly, the whole movie has a narrator reading word for word the Bible.

The actors speak in the original language when you do get to hear them.

Thirdly, Jesus has emotions!  He actually shows how humans act when they talk, walk and share in real life.

Fourth, look at their clothes.....they are not hemmed, they are tattered, and you will notice Matthews cloak starts to wear out with holes.  The details are so authenic.

The background people look like they are the local people of the region. 

It is as though you are there with them and interacting with their lives.

I hope you see the movie and enjoy it as much as I did.

Be safe and blessed.
