One reviewer asked "who would give up his own son for the salvation of many". This reminded me of a short film I once saw and the core of the film was about exactly that: A man took his 5 yr old son to work with him at a bridge rail crossing. His son, while playing, fell underneath the mechanical rail shaft. The train was approaching. His Dad had to make a decision; save his son and let the train full of passengers plunge to a sure death, or save many people by crushing his own son. After watching this clip, the question “what decision would I make?” troubled me. Every decision we make in life has consequences. The only sure thing we have in this world is the Love of Our Lord and how
Great movie all around. The dialogue matched the biblical accounts of the gospels and the acting was really good as well. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.
Passion of the christ is better. Honestly, just read the book (the bible) instead. I get the concept of showing the teachings and what not, but once you have seen one "jesus" movie you have seen them all
A truly outstanding film, adhering very strictly in every detail to the Biblical account of the life, passion, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. Diago Morgado, who plays the role of Jesus, looks exactly as He is so often portrayed in art. That makes it all the more personal - and all the more difficult to hold back on the tears.
This was so similiar to the one that was filmed for tv...named The The Bible & with the same actor...even showed more of the scriptures & more from the Bible.
A wonderful movie. Have never cried out loud in a movie before but at one point I was caught off guard and couldn't stop myself. This movie gave the political context of Jesus' crucifixion, something a person wouldn't know from reading the Bible. 'Son of God' did justice to the temple elders and even Judas was shown somewhat sympathetically, as he suffers the ambivalence that a follower turned informant can experience.
and Pilate said they would forget him in a week!
I would give this 10 stars! It is not just about what Jesus did, but portrays exactly who he is, the Son of God. Our broken world needs this message of truth and hope. Thanks to Mark Burnett and Roma Downey for producing it.
This is the most awesome movie on the life of Christ. It is a must see. An accurate account of Jesus, the Son of God, Saviour of the world. An invitation to those who don't believe and an affirmation of faith for those who do. Hope it stay running at least until Easter.
To the guy who complained that they should make a movie about Jesus' teachings, you obviously didn't watch this movie. The crucifixion is only a small part of this, it's mostly about the good he did and the followers he amassed. Watch the movie, it's really good and if you didn't love Jesus before, it will make you love him because it shows how truly good and wonderful he is.
