You’re quite correct and for those reasons I’ll be foregoing the “pleasure” of watching this film. Still, you have to give the filmmakers at least this much credit: this young Semite doesn’t have blue eyes and blonde hair. So that’s something...
I find it always curios how Jesus is depicted in films and art these days. There’s that Christian theme park (FL?) that has some actor looking like that famous painting of Jesus knocking on a door.
