jt4logos I noticed the colors of the film about half-way through. The muted, neutral beiges and browns, with an occasional soft blue or red, of the people's clothing seems so natural that I was suddenly and happily made aware that everything worked together: each scene's color scheme was deliberate. The Temple scenes with the beige crowds and the sharp contrast of the navy-and-crème Pharisees, and the crème-white of the Christ's clothing. The wedding banquet with the reds, oranges, deeper browns and blues -- any frame of any scene could stand alone as a classic painting. The music, the acting, the casting -- this is a first-rate film regardless of how you personally believe the message of John's Gospel.

Desertman84 The Gospel of John is a film that is the story of Jesus' life as recounted by the Gospel of John.The film is narrated by Christopher Plummer and stars Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus. Others cast includes Stuart Bunce,Richard Lintern,Scott Handy, Lynsey Baxter,Diego Matamoros, Stephen Russell, Daniel Kash,Cedric Smith and Nancy Palk.It was directed by Philip Saville. It is a motion picture that has been adapted for the screen on a word- for-word basis from the American Bible Society's Good News Bible. This three-hour epic feature film follows John's Gospel precisely, without additions to the story from other Gospels, nor omission of complex passages.This is definitely worth seeing especially for viewers who practice Christianity regardless of denomination despite the fact that it was long, dull and for the most part, acted without apparent inspiration.But nevertheless,it preaches effectively Jesus' message of love.

luvturkeys C.S. Lewis said of Jesus Christ: there are only three options about Him......1) He's a liar, 2) He's a lunatic, or 3) He is Who He says He is.I have never, ever seen a more powerful movie. Never.I believe that Henry Ian Cusick captured the essence of Jesus as He was when He walked the earth......confident, brave and joyous. Very manly, but identifiable; yet, different than any man you've ever encountered.The other actors, especially the disciples, were quite believable in their portrayals.Christopher Plummber's voice was a powerful thread, tying the movie together.The sets were gorgeous.....and even the outdoor desert scenes were compelling.The director did a phenomenal job. He must have had a vision for something very human, yet larger than life.....for that is what he produced.

heartfelt-1 There have been movies made about Jesus in the past, but this has to be the best out there! No fake stuff like the History Channel or The Divinci Code, it's all word for word from the most accurate book in the world, the Bible. God's word is 100% verifiable by historical documents and archeology. This movie has even gone to the trouble of having the costumes made to exact Jewish historical accuracy, using only one type of material (God told them not to mix materials when weaving cloth). There will be things missing from the movie that you may wonder why they are not there. This movie is from the book of John in the New Testament, to get a full picture of Jesus' life and ministry you must read/watch all four of the first New Testament books, as well as read the rest of the New and Old Testament. I know that it's a movie anyone will love to watch!
