Ein Kind mit Namen Jesus

This movie was shown on Canadian television several years ago and I saw most of it. Almost every movie about Jesus depicts him a stoic, serene, and God-like character with almost every line a quote from the Bible. There was much more to the human boy Jesus than any recorded history known. This movie shows what it would have been like to be Jesus, a human boy, in an accurately detailed setting. It is one of the most moving and spiritually uplifting religious movies I have ever seen. If you ever wondered what it may have been like for Jesus, in the undocumented years of His life, this film is a must see. Unfortunately, I have searched without success, for several years, to get, or even see, the English version of this masterpiece.

Yes as we well know Jesus didn't really perform a first miracle until the wedding at Cana as well the way Jesus was even responding to his own Mother saying something "What Concern might that be of mine?"Then she said to the men "Go fill Jugs with water and do as he says."Then he had turned the water into wine. However it's still a cute presentation of Jesus as a child performing miracles like Turning clay pigeons into real pigeons and putting his hands into the water to make fish multiply as he would as a grown up multiply the fish and the bread in the baskets.A certain man seen throughout this movie was suspicious of him being the child who missed a certain unspeakable time,of which I just can't specify, and survives it. Anyhow all in all you've just got to watch and enjoy this for yourself sometime without me giving too much away about it. I saw this at Christmastime of 1989 on my local Channel 25 movie presentation.

This is possibly the greatest movie about Jesus. Just today, I noticed that the movie is divided into two parts: the Wait and the mystery... I always wait for it to come out during Easter and Christmas. I too saw it a long time ago, on TV, but luckily and unluckily I get to see it on TV but, with Spanish dubbing. Someday, when I know it'll come out in Spanish I'll probably have to record it because waiting six months is too long to wait. I'm hoping to get it soon in English or at least with English subtitles. Does anyone know where I can get it on video? I've tried amazon and yahoo...

This is a very touching and moving film. The film is about the childhood life of Jesus from the time he fled to Egypt and his return to Nazareth.

The movie does not have many biblical passages to follow. What the movie does do is show how Joseph and Jesus may have interacted during Jesus childhood.

If you have ever enjoyed religious films you must try to find this and see it. The english version is titled "A Child Called Jesus"

I watched in on satellite a couple of years back, but can not find it in video stores anywhere.

Take care.

I'm a old man, but I saw this movie the first time on the occasion of Pope's death. During Wojtyla's agony the Italian TV-Rete 4 broadcasts no stop many proper movies, as "Un Bambino di Nome Gesù'", first and second part, and similar movies. Owing to this my experience, I am tempted to say that this film can be seen "once in a blue moon"! Nevertheless it's possible to find the DVD and Assistance Service trying Ibs Italia: search with Google on web pages, Italian language "Un Bambino di Nome Gesù" - Franco Rossi - Matteo Bellina. There are two enthusiastic user comments, as "the best movie I have ever seen", 5/5 or excellent. There are also some quotations of Sages, Astrologers or Magi near Herod's court, never felt before! Further details in a second time, if it's possible.
