I saw the Ten Commandments back in around 1972 as a kid. I didn’t think that was lame. A bit corny by today’s CGI standards but it worked for the time.
Yesterday I saw the SON OF GOD. I wept again. Wept, as opposed to cry...far deeper and from my soul.
The "Jesus" films have gotten so good that I don't miss one. The past ones were forgettable...but then so were a LOT of films.
ONCE IN A WHILE Hollywood "gets it." It sure did this time.
I got the time wrong the other day and went in 15 minutes late so I am going to see it again today. It's not as if I don't know the story but it's SUCH a well-done story of Our Lord.
Jesus was portrayed by a Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado. Never heard of him and I hope I never see him again...he will always be "Jesus."
