Intro/Welcome
The idea for this blog came about after I had worked on a project for a Christian history course I took while attending seminary. My prof encouraged me to continue with the project which I have decided to do and share with anyone who wants to know about the Jesus movie genre. Here you will find info on many of the Jesus movies or movies that feature Jesus as an integral character. Some are good, whilst others are bad or just plain ugly... or both.
So why this blog? Jesus is arguably the most influential and important person to have ever walked this world and I am always intrigued how film-makers envision and actors portray him. My hope is that you will enjoy this blog and should there be a movie or TV event that you feel would make agreat inclusion to this list then please email me and let me know... I will then consider it for inclusion.
Thanks and blessings, Chris St John
Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (1964)
Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (Eng. The Gospel According to St. Matthew).
From the Genius Products DVD release:""Pasolini's is one of the most effective films on a religious theme I have ever seen..." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Pier Paolo Pasolini's masterpiece comes to life in color for the first time in this beautifully told film about the life of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew. The story begins with His birth and illustrates how His teachings attracted not only His disciples, but crowds of believers. When the Pharisees, chief priests and elders learn of Jesus, they conspire to have Him arrested, beaten, tried and crucified on the cross. This classic film is a beautiful interpretation of the greatest story ever told."
