Jesus liebt mich

I don't know why this film got quite low ratings here. It's not a masterpiece, but can you really escape its quirky, likeable nature? Or does the humour only work in the original language and not go down so well with an audience that doesn't understand it? In any case, I enjoyed the story of this irresistibly handsome Jesus, and the rather irreverent treatment of the other biblical characters was also quite to my taste. Of course, some of the plot fell by the wayside and not every minor character really made sense. But I was completely satisfied and perhaps even a little in love with Jesus :-)

The storytelling is interesting and fluent, but still need some basic knowledge of Christianity for understanding. Jesus looks drop-dead gorgeous, and I think David is the best actor playing Jesus apart from Robert Powell. When seeing Jesus cured the old lady I burst into tears.But I suppose the storytelling of latter part can be clearer and richer.

Why would Jesus love one person? There is a satisfying answer to that in the movie (if it isn't already answered in the plot description). The guy playing Jesus (literally) has his feet firmly placed into the romantic genre in Germany. A known actor, but he still can pull it off, thanks to a very decent script.

The jokes sometimes work (Devil is smelling bad, though that joke only works once not as often as it is played out in the movie or the one about the appearance of God), but some are complete miss. There is cursing (which some might find offensive in a movie like this), but everything is kept as light as possible. Whatever your beliefs are, you might be able to enjoy this as a comedy. Not great, but OK

I've seen this movie several times, together with almost every friend who was open to see it.

The movie is a unexpected surprise for everyone.

Viewing a movie over and over could be boring, but this is not the case.

I find new beautiful images, philosophical lines of text every time, discovering small interesting things that usually could be found only in a masterpiece.

The actors are so good that make you feel inside the story, playing along with them.

As for Jesus, played by Florian David Fitz, director, writer and actor in the same time, he might be anytime compared to Robert Powell in Jesus from Nazareth.

A movie not to be missed!

Jesus liebt mich (Jesus loves me) is a movie about Jesus (Jeshua) returning to earth in order to prepare apocalypse. Hey meets Marie who reminds him of mother Mary. She introduces him into "her" world which is totally chaotic. She just dumped her fiancé during wedding ceremony, her mother starts a new relationship (with archangel Gabriel) and as she finds out what Jeshua is really up to, she's the only one who can actually stop him from ending humanity. Marie has to convince him humans aren't as bad as it seems as the ending is about to begin....

I found the movie quite refreshing and entertaining and I also had to laugh out loud a lot. There are lots of comic aspects and the actors play well. For a German movie I was also quite surprised about the special effects. The story itself is also very critical and should not be taken too seriously.
