Who were the Jewish elite?

When a Nation is conquered, the elite are those who are allied with the conquerer.

As to not caring about a local "trouble making" yokel, in the history of totalitarianism, since the beginning of history, the "Power that be" always gets rid of the agitator. History shows the Romans were not too kind to anyone questioning their power and just 70 years later they laid all of Judea to waste.

All this excitement over a movie.

It's a movie with actors.

How can anyone get excited when next year you may see "Jesus" playing a junkie.

How can anyone get excited when next year you may see "Jesus" playing a junkie.

A few years ago there was a off-Broadway (?) production, the name of which mercifully escapes me, portraying Jesus as---God forbid---the head of a band of homosexuals. Nobody from any church claimed the right to review the text of the play before it was staged to make sure there was nothing "anti-Christian" in it, and protests from Christians when it was staged were rebuffed, mocked and ignored.

Calling the Romans totalitarian is to not know history. They truly would not have cared about Jesus on their own.

Judea was laid to waste not because of "questioning", but rather an actual open revolt.
