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
King of Kings (1961)
From the Warner DVD release:
"The power, the passion, the greatness, the glory.
Who is Jesus and why does he powerfully impact all he meets? He is respected and reviled, emulated and accused, beloved, betrayed and finally crucified. Yet that terrible fate would not be the end of the story.
The scale is huge (7,000 extras in the Sermon on the Mount scene alone). The mood is reverent. The music is another milestone in the career of composer Miklos Rozsa. The performances of a splendid cast-with charismatic Jeffrey Hunter at the center-are real and moving. From the producer of the epic spectaculars El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire and the director of Rebel Without a Cause and 55 Days at Peking comes a vivid retelling of the world's greatest story, the saga of the Nazarene who would be King of Kings."
