It was fairly realistic. Instead of cute clean little shepherd boys like they normally portray, the shepherds were dirtier than a street person having been sleeping and living with their sheep. It was to these people who were despised and unfit to enter the Temple that first visited the Christ Infant. It was they who were visited by angels.

The imagery of video and audio dialog is just too overwhelming and produces memories that come unbidden to mind as I read. I don't want some cinematographer's and screenwriter's opinion of things to fill in the blanks as I read the Bible. I'd much rather just see images from actual archeological sites and more accurate historical reconstructions of various things and then fill in the mental pictures on my own from those. It's been so long since I've really seen much that most images from any movies or videos are now largely a blur of a general background for me. That's just me. I'm not down on movies like this and if people like them that's fine; it's just that they're not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "Jesus of Nazareth". But I was not as solid in the Word of God as I am now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to avoid them myself especially the newer movies because they tend to stray badly from scripture. The older movies can make mistakes too but most of them are still far more accurate. Therefore given a choice between Ten Commandments (Heston's version) and the ecumenical/Catholic stuff on TV today, well, the choice is plenty obvious Forgot one, Quo Vadis, 1951. excellent movie. I have the dvd at home (as well as Ten Commandments and Jesus of Nazareth) and cant get enough of it.

To me it is the most accurate out of all of them. It is based on the Gospel of Luke. Quite honestly I don't watch many of them because at some point (other than the one I mentioned) I get disgusted and turn the thing off because what I am seeing isn't even coming close. Directors tend to use a lot of liberties because they have to make the movie exciting to watch otherwise people wouldn't watch movies in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
