I don't know why, but it's really easy to find most religious movies online, especially ones with Jesus. I guess it's true that people have learned to share from him! Anyway, I was surprised that this movie, being the longest Jesus movie I've ever seen, didn't start out with Jesus' birth. Of course, it's been awhile since I've read my Bible. It's mostly because I literally can't read my Bible since it's just been ripped apart from how often I used it when I was little. I guess we can just assume this is just what John says about Jesus. If so, it ended up being as amazing as you would imagine.We even get to see Jesus use some authority as he actually scares people off with a whip! I'm a frequent church goer, but we don't seem to really talk that much about the actual narrative. What makes this movie a classic is of course how well it's acted. I mean, this is probably the best Jesus I've ever seen. I'm really surprised that this movie isn't more well known. It's ranked as one of the best religious films ever made! Nowadays, we get awful films like "Saving Christmas" and "Left Behind" that are nothing but crap. This movie perfectly demonstrates exactly what Jesus wants us to believe.It's simply the notion that we shouldn't judge and love everyone. I'm still familiar with the Bible enough to recognize most of what's going on. Of course, it's been done in countless other movies. Every time this guy talks, I completely believe him as Jesus. We just have this great sincerity and wonderful smile from this guy constantly. They even begin by saying that the film is in no way meant to be Anti-Semitic. It's simply amazing that anyone would be this way because it was Jews who wrote most of the Bible. In a modern world where everyone is being torn apart by differences, they're the closest things to Christians.Okay, I know little about Muslims, so I can't really tell for sure. I especially love how Jesus keeps referring to his dad, but he never really mentions that it's God. It's a pretty interesting perspective on him. Yeah, I'd have to read John again to fully understand it. They even got the fact right of how people were nailed in their wrists and not palms to be crucified. Even "The Passion Of The Christ" with how authentic it tried to be got that wrong! It's always important to be accurate and I hope more people are open to this wonderful film. God loves us the way we are. ****

It's a great movie. I've seen both The Passion of the Christ and The Gospel of John... I'll go for this movie. It's more of putting John's gospel into a movie so we won't be tired reading. It's a great movie and I watched it on a holy week back in 2005.I love the last part of the movie when they were all walking in the shore. That's the greatest part.I recommend it to everyone who loves to watch movies that are based on the Gospel. This movie will surely satisfy you.Great movie.

I have watched this movie several times, often following the script word by word from the Book of John. Both Christ's humanity and his deity are included in the portrayal. The film is compelling, revealing the power of Christ's teachings and the struggles he endures to convey his message to not only his disciples, but also to the religious leaders and common people of the day. The story is fuller because the historical context of the time and the impact of politics on the events leading to the crucifixion are included. The dialogue between Christ and his disciples, the religious leaders and those he heals is brought to life. The scene where He drives the money changers from the temple shows a side of his character that is often down played. I would recommend this film above any other version of the life of Christ. I would strongly encourage those who are interested in a more meaningful rendition of the book of John to take time out to view the film.

This film by Philip Saville really touched me when I heard th way Christopher Plummer narrated the Good Book. It was more than just a mere reading of a novel. The way it was filmed blended perfectly with Plummer's reading. Most of the artists and actors made a special effort to make the life of Christ look real. Henry Ian Cusick's portrayal of Jesus is close to perfection and is almost as good as any other actor did. The good thing about this film is that it nearly came out at the same time The Passion Of th Christ came out. Any one who loved this film should also compare it's similarities with The Passion of the Christ and also Jesus Of Nazareth(1977).
