He needs to leave out weird mystic visions from the screenplay.
Stick to the Bible, Mel.
“Stick to the Bible, Mel.”
Mel is Catholic, and drawing from the rich history of The Church.
You say :”He needs to leave out weird mystic visions from the screenplay.
Stick to the Bible, Mel.”
Straight up.
Those ‘visions” totally spoiled it. The story of Jesus needs NO embellishment.
Best “Jesus” movie is STILL Franco Zeffirelli’s “Jesus of Nazareth”
Probably the most top star-studded movie of all time - perfect casting, strong music theme, ‘Old Master paintings’ scenes... Robert Powell as Jesus - perfect.
Every Christian household should have this - and have a ‘family night’ to show it at least once a year - Easter and/or Christmas.
(That said, I hope Gibson uses Jim Caviezel for Jesus again - Beside the right face, Caviezel is a true Christian...)
