To: what's up
Jesus of Nazareth is the best movie on Christ that I have ever seen.
Zeffereli's take on this is hypocritcal as he too, like Gibson, is true to the Gospels. Zeff's movie also shows Jews doing the same thing that Gibson's movie does. It shows mass crowds gleefully calling for Christ's life and sparing the zealot.
As a matter of fact Zeffereli's movie, since it is pretty exhaustive shows many more such examples of Jews plotting to get Jesus.
Me thinks Zeffereli sees his own move possibly in competition with Gibson for best Christ movie. If he is not being mercenary he must be a simple hypocrite.

Yeah... what does Zefferelli know.
He's Just Catholic, a Great Movie Director who also made a movie about Christ...
and knows Gibson.
So why should his opinion count?
