CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
marsmitchell79 Two main problems with this movie out the ones that I've watched so far: 1. The American Caucasian race of the actors; this is a failing of almost every American biblical film of the day and it even happens today more times than not. The problem with that is that potential Christian converts believe a lie and make assertions that the religion is racist! Muslims say that the Christian Jesus is an American Caucasian and most of them are not. Many of them use this lie to mock/blaspheme Jesus and Christianity! Therefore, a Muslim is easily manipulated by using this lie. Jim Jones was able to draw some, because Jesus was always depicted as an American white man and the American white men was racist. His pitch--in turn--was to be multiracial. Even then, no one besides an Uncle Tom or a zealot in favor of another race wants to join a religion where no one looks like them. The bible truth makes Jesus a traditional Jew--which is one of the few races that look close to 50% white and 50% black. Honestly, I don't think this is a coincidence. So, why spread a lie that disperses and keeps people from studying the bible rather than a truth that leaves people without an applicable excuse? Unless you are a racist, what could your excuse be for not following a doctrine deemed by you as true if the human form of the Lord is 50% black and 50% white. 2. It omits key details-- such as parts of the Lord's prayer and Jesus' baptism--seemingly for no reason! It would only have taken an extra 1-2 minutes in both cases to get it right. Other than that, great!
ellenirishellen-62962 The series had top actors,not all were great,but George Macready was in a compilation called I Beheld His Glory.George could sometimes be over-the-top,but not in Beheld or the 2 episodes he appeared in in which he was not the star.Lowell Gilmore quite good,he and Macready worked together in 3 costume dramas,2 Sherwood/Robin Hood films,and The Black Arrow.The actors seemed to respect the religious themes of the productions,and the costumes were okay,acting the best as could be expected of low budget of the Church.It really helps when trying to learn a little more about the Life Of Christ that things were taken seriously and not going for sensationalism,like today.
setistars-1 Most people do not realize is this is a 12 -30 min episode of jesus.It was shown at local churches through out the country.I remember it at my church,it was shown on sunday evening.This was never meant to play at theaters,just at churches and sometimes television.Even though it was filmed on a low budget,it does carry the message of jesus well.
zoomer48 I have seen this movie "THE LIVING CHRIST SERIES" also known under other titles and if you know your BIBLE you will appreciate this movie.It's a low budget old movie but it's what people need,"THE TRUTH" THE WORD OF GOD. ROBERT WILSON who played JESUS did a great job THANKS BOB
