The Gospel of John explicitly says that if all that Jesus did were written down, the world could not contain the books. (John 21.25).

Maybe one day, you can grasp the implications of that regarding his life and his interactions with others. The Gospels do not record every little thing that happened in his life. It records certain broad events and important discourses. This is why it passes over in near total silence his life from Age 1 to 30. There would also be little need to say that His Mother showed sorrow over His death. What Mother would not feel sorrowful watching her bloved son die in agony on the Cross?

I belive that in your zelous worship of Mary (whom I agree was blessed)you are unfairly criticising my desire for accuracy concerning the biblical account of Jesus.

Who cares about your desires? If you desire an "accurate" film, go make it. Based on the Bible accounts, it should take about 10 minutes total to film, since the Bible gives a broad outline, not an excruciatingly detailed summary of all that transpired. Your remark is uneducated and narrowminded. Do you truly think Jesus and Co. did nothing except what is recorded in the Bible?

That is about the most ignorant statement yet on this thread. The gospels are nothing but detailed vingettes of Christ's ministry. The gospels are not exhaustive, but they are detailed.
