Kosta,
Careful there in your efforts to explain what is unexplainable. What you are speaking of borders on Monophysitism.
Reality is that Jesus was 100% God(eternally pre-existent) and 100% Human with Mary's blood running through His veins.
Otherwise, He fulfilled no prophecies of the Messiah and was a liar (a thought which is ludicrous).
Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
God came down and so interacted with Mary's egg that Jesus was conceived. Jesus had both Mary's human blood in Him, making Him fully human; and His own eternally pre-existent divinity as His very being.
How such a thing occurs is a mystery to us. But, nothing is Impossible for God.

Well,
I saw the movie that sparked this thread and loved it. It was very scriptural and relatively unimbellished by Hollywood's standards.
The portrayal of Mary was as a human being. This is what she was. She had the same conflicts within her that anyone would have in the circumstances that she faced (even to the point that she was troubled to have been engaged to Joseph whom in the movie she hardly knew). Yet, when faced with being the mother of the Messiah, it stayed strictly with Scripture showing her to be the humble and obedient woman that she was.
I liked its portrayal of Zechariah and Elizabeth as well as the Nazarenes who shunned Joseph & Mary. It shows a subtle fulfillment of the Scripture where "a prophet is without honor in his own home."
Here it was, the King of kings and Lord of lords, coming down to man and the world continued in all of its depravity and busyness.
Every Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Immanuel. The message I take away from the movie is, what do we do with this gift? Do we continue on our way and in our busyness with business as usual? Or do we stop to recognize the wonder before us? And bow and worship?
The movie was NOT ABOUT MARY. Though she is naturally a key component of the movie. I think it did a good job of portraying her as Scripture portrays her, and shows her being introspective - and pondering all of these things in her heart.
