Killing Jesus (2015)

Truly Dreadful Film

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Most of the scenes and dialogues are not Biblical.They didn't portray Jesus as God or Son of God, The Messiah. And the guy who acts as Jesus seems to be surprised when miracles happen as if it wasn't Him who did that. Jesus is thoroughly depicted as just a man.He seems to be surprised when some events occur and is awestruck, which shouldn't be the case as He is an all knowing Son of God.The ones who make such movies should realize that people watch and get inspired by movies and these would snatch them away from truth. It's better you don't make such movies for money lest you be judged according to it on the final day. Repent and stop making movies just for money. May God forgive them.

the purpose of this film is the big question who remains after its end. because it is not portrait of the Savior or the portrait of a Prophet. the Gospels are only pretext. the implication of good actors - decorative. and the desire to redefine His existence and work - wrong. too long, too innovative and unclear, it is an exercise to present a good guy who has not specific identity, who not gives a specific message, who looking like Christ but at the level of poor sketch. something missing. and it is something fundamental for do a credible story, to remind the word of Jesus, for be a real testimony about a mission and about sacrifice. it is not a problem of freedom of expression or about the religious believes. but the manner to send a credible vision about the second person of Saint Trinity.

I was intrigued that Ridley Scott would produce a re-telling of the Christ story written by a conservative catholic TV commentator for National Geographic. I watched it guardedly, but was moved by it in the end. Bill O'Reilly's focus is the political situation in Palestine at the time, and although Jesus is the central character, the story really focuses on other people's reaction to -and expectations of- Jesus. It's not surprising that none of the miracles are shown on screen as the authorities had not seen them and would most likely be dismissive of them anyway. The result is high drama and tension as the authorities keep arguing over jurisdictional issues.

I found this film highly watchable. It was excellent viewing. It presented the historical context of Jesus's life in an intelligent way, explaining the tensions and conflicts between the Romans, their Jewish puppets and the people. There are many moving scenes. Judas and his betrayal are treated in a refreshingly new way, avoiding stereotypes. There is something real and gritty about the portrayal which neither of confirms nor denies that Jesus was truly the son of God. This is a film which can move and appeal to even non- believers because there are no incredible miracles; only a brave and charismatic man preaching a new creed of love and forgiveness in a society where stoning was still the punishment for adultery. You don't have to believe in God to be humbled and moved by this powerful story of that message, and how Jesus paid the ultimate price for confronting and challenging the Jewish religious authorities.
