Road to Emmaus

Even though the Bible doesn't give the name of the second disciple who accompanied Cleopas on the road to Emmaus, one can reasonably deduce that it was Cleopas's wife Mary. But nevertheless, Road to Emmaus is a moving piece about Jesus's famous appearance along the Road to Emmaus soon after his resurrection.

This feature isn't just for Christians. It's for everyone.

More than an adaptation of road to Emmaus episode, it is a lesson about roots of birth, mission, sacrifice and resurrection of the savior. Bruce Marchiano gives the proper enthusiasm to make the story almost tangible, the dialogue is decent crafted, the result is just beautiful. A pleasant short film, for its precise target, inspiring just joy, hope and rise of faith and courage.

The Bible gives us very little information about the weeks between the resurection of Jesus and his ascension. That paucity of information allows writers to have some free rein with storytelling.

Such as the Road To Emmaus where a pair of followers are confused and troubled by the meaning of the crucifiction and the fact rumor has gotten about that the tomb of Jesus is now empty.

As these two head home they are joined by a stranger who seems to have all the answers to what has passed and its meaning. Lo and behold it is Bruce Marchiano as Jesus, but they don't realize it at first.

If I remember my Bible it says something about Jesus being seen walking and talking at different points until Pentecost and His ascension. This story here certainly could have happened.

A nicely told story of possible events.
