Movie Reviews of The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ / From the Manger to the Cross
Movie Review: Genesis of Christian Cinema
Summary: 4 Stars
(3 1/2 *'s) Primitive, coming from 1902 and 1912, these two early Jesus movies are a meditation. Because the details aren't fussed over like modern renditions, the audience can actively go along with the journey. The first film has fine costumes and sets, and it should be said that the actor looks more like Jesus than any film before or since. (If you take the passage that "He bore no resemblance to draw us to him...an appearance which made men turn away," to light.) There is earnestness in the first film, which uses skillful appearances and disappearances of angels, stars, and Jesus Himself. The second film is more praiseworthy. They use less stage settings and use terrain suitable for a biblical landscape. The acting is far more impressive with Jesus's passion, Magdalene's appearance, and Mary's humble radiance--above most silent films. A quiet contemplation, both movies are a spare start to cinema meant to make a difference. It also is draw those who wish to see the genesis of cinema.
