A fantastic rendering of the New Testament and the life of Christ.
Not the best treatment of the life of Christ out there, but Charlton Heston as John the Baptist ruled. Max von Sydow's Jesus could have been a little less wooden and ethereal.
The part that really touched me is when Jesus wept when the people were mourning over the death of Lazerous it was a really good performance
Greater love has no one than this,
than to lay one's life for his friends
JESUS IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND ANY MOVIE THAT DEPICTS HIS LIFE HERE ON EARTH WITH ACCURACY IS WAY WORTH SEEING OVER & OVER
Hollywood put so much into this big budget epic, the production values alone make it worth seeing. It also doesn't hurt that they signed virtually everyone who was ever anyone to appear in the film in roles of various levels of importance. Biblical Epic veteran Charlton Heston...( read more)
Wasn't the greatest story ever told the one about the Irishman, Englishman and a racially origniated non-specific third party and their exploits in the local freehouse?
I tihn i've seen this movie, but they way Jesus played wasn't quite that good.
Hmmmm, John Wayne as a roman centurion? No I don't think so. Von Sydow though is a great Jesus. And heston fits in the enviorment as a klingon fits on the battlefield.
indeed the greatest story ever, if we believe, trust and have faith in Him
I didn't like this movie much. The Passion of the Christ was much more spiritual and it touched my heart more deeply than this movie.
Well Its Great, although it makes Jesus look like a somber man. If you get the chance watch a movie called MATTHEW from Visual Bible. BEST
I did like Sydow's portrayal of Jesus. Not as good as Jim Cavaziel's Passsion of the Christ depiction, but still very good. The random cameos were really silly.
A Really Great film, and i believe it to be the greatest story ever told. It's an older film, but it's one of the better ones i've seen of it's kind to date.
very long, like should be a new word for long, how long it is, kinda like longeresting
