The Life and the Passion of Christ

This documentary uses a mega-title to cover its deficiencies and low budget dimensions. From closing credits I notice that it was a film project from S. California Americans; this doesn't explain so many shots of Sydney Australia, Rome Italy, and Jerusalem Israel, however. The film was shot on location in L.A. - - with a strikingly vivid shot of Jesus walking toward the "Hollywood" sign in the long distance in its final section. "THE_LIFE_AND_PASSION" is made-for-cable, I assume, but has hybridized some rather uniformly constrained academic voices on the historicity of the New Testament authors & documents with a mini-Passion Play version of a harmonized Crucifixion and Death of Christ. Not what I was expecting especially with its similarly weak dependence on the Pat Boone insertions and classic art being shown. Look for something with more depth from other distributors and religious commentators is my advice. 6 stars only. For a take on the other extreme as far as a "non-traditional" coverage of a company portraying the Palm Sunday to Good Friday events - - rent Jesus OF MONTREAL (it is R-rated and not for the little ones or mid-teens).

I liked the professional way the story unfolds.

The editing is well processed as well as the video.

Would recommend to anyone interested in the relationship of science to religion.

I especially enjoyed the commentary of the host Pat Boone.

Would like to send him a note to thank him for taking the time and trouble to participate is such a venture.

The actors also did a great job in the depiction of the life of Christ in his young days.

Am looking forward to sharing the video with family and friends.

This was just ok, it had some interesting bits. I found the singing EXTREMELY off putting. It sounds like a female goat trying to passionately sing a spiritual and it was done so badly that you have to turn the volume down. The re-enactments are so badly acted they seem cheap, done on a shoestring budget.

Difficult to say what is the fair expectation about this film. All what deserved to be said was said. The story is more than familiar. The budget of film was, obvious, modest. And the remind about Christianity roots, believes and Savior remains, always, useful.

A pretty nice, decent documentary. Sure, not memorable or brilliant or impressive but decent represents a virtue. Specialists opinions, remade of Christ life moments in docu - drama manner, simple - precise message. Not very much, and, maybe, for music other options were more inspired but nothing to real reproche.

Sure, not elaborated tools and too familiar solutions. But not bad to see it as a sort of honest try . With not so bad result.
