Movie Reviews of The Gospel of John
Movie Review: "I am telling you the truth..."
Summary: 5 Stars
I am telling you the truth-- this is probably the best biblical movie ever made. Usually, biblical movies have at least one glaring inaccuracy, or a non-biblical addition that stands out like a sore thumb (e.g., the non-biblical additions about the plot by the priests with Pilate in "Jesus" (1979), or the numerous bits of historic fiction related to Herod Antipas in "Jesus of Nazareth").
This is the biblical text. The only complaint I have is the interpretation of "the sixth hour" as "about noon" in the passion history. Cusick's performance is subdued, but lively when it needs to be-- driving the merchants from the temple, dealing with his enemies.
In this movie, you will meet Jesus. John closed his Gospel by saying, "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing, you may have life in his name." This movie shows Jesus as Messiah, Son of God, and Savior. I highly reccomend it for someone first learning about Christ, and for the seasoned Christian.
Movie Review: Excellent Production
Summary: 5 Stars
This film takes its script word for word from the Gospel of John using the Good News Bible (Today's English Version). Detailed attention is given to historical and cultural background. Scholarly support provides credibility to its presentation. Helpful special features. Jesus is presented with full range of emotion as indicated in the Fourth Gospel.
The video makes some assumptions about Mary Magdalene. Since she is not mentioned in the Fourth Gospel until the passion and resurrection narratives, the producers felt it would be important to introduce her sooner in the presentation. This is certainly helpful. However, they assume her presence at certain dialogues (the farewell discourse for instance). One drawback (minor as it is) is that occasionally the narrator speaks in the place of a known character in the dialogue. It is understandable at one point or two, but on other occasions it takes away from a participant who has been represented by an actor.
Movie Review: Marvelous Presentation
Summary: 5 Stars
As I watched this and went through the scripture at the same time I found very few flaws as to my understanding of the book. I have many versions of the scriptures on film and this appears to be the purest. I am a person that reads the scripture and interprets it as touched by the spirit. I am not part of the "if you don't interpret it my way you are wrong and you are going to hell" group. Who put them in charge of the interpretation of the bible anyhow. This book of scripture is, in my opinion,the most loving of the four. John manages to express the love that Jesus had for the people and for the people to come, far better than the other three books. I put down no other religion for the way they believe because quite frankly that is not a Christlike attitude. The Savior is the Savior of all mankind, not just those who profess to be the bible interpretation police. BTW I am a Mormon and I loved this book that WAS NOT in any way produced by Mormons.Movie Review: A Masterpiece of a movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best depictions of a "Jesus" movie yet! I had seen this movie on Netflix and was astonished by the accuracy of the film. It follows the Good News Bible word for word and therefore was highly accurate in the telling of the story. I purchased this for my daughter in law who had some questions, but like so many of this generation, I figured it was easier to show her what the word said, than to try and explain it - Q & A to follow. I was so impressed by the soundtrack alone that I bought that too! It was music that was of the time using instruments of the time - very authentic! Overall this is a great version of a story done over and over again, but this one has some character - not as graphic as "Passion of The Christ", which covered the last 12 hours of Christ on earth, nor as light hearted as "Jesus" which showed Jesus in a happy light. (Both great movies) This one is an epic tale which will show you what the Gospel of John says.Movie Review: The Most-Loved: The Gospel of John
Summary: 5 Stars
I love most the Gospel of John among the four gospels. It's about TRUTH and LOVE, which is JESUS CHRIST. I can say that this is my favourite movie about our Lord and Saviour. The actor did a fantastic job portraying Jesus. You can really connect to Him, both as human and divine. While watching it, it's like you are a student listening to the GREAT TEACHER with his divine teachings of truth and love. The teachings are music to ears, food for the soul. You can never get tired of listening to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The way the actor did it is very convincing. The movie is great, and we can really contemplate and reflect on how God loves us, how Jesus Christ loves us. God is just, as well as merciful and loving. He loves us too much that He sent His Only Son for us to be redeemed. Please go and watch this movie. You will never get tired watching it over and over again. I love it!!! Go and keep one for yourself. Be blessed.
