Had not planned to watch the movie but did, out of curiosity. If the target audience was skeptics, they will probably remain so. Not surprisingly, the focus was on the political climate at that time, including the Jewish factions. There were a few 'miracles' included - driving out a demon, healing a leper - but that was it. Why those 2? Why not the healing of the paralytic or the raising of Lazarus, both of which were accompanied by witnesses. The actor's portrayal of Jesus was more matter of fact as if Jesus himself was not sure of who he was. He admits that he intended to portray his human side rather than an other worldly one. The account was also choppy, jumping from one event to another.
Did anyone else watch the movie? What was your impression?
I only got through the first 15 minutes. when Jesus didn’t seem to know what was going on and his cousin had to tell him who he was, I gave up.
