Hollywood and bible movies

[Pearl]

i agree it was good buy the op asked for something modern.

Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ' is okay too.
Some of the disciples fled in fear of the Romans, but women stuck with him to the end-

The controversial "The Last Temptation of Christ' is interesting because Jesus chooses to be saved from the cross and live out his life as an ordinary family man with wife and kids, but in the end realises his mistake and asks to be put back on the cross to fulfil his destiny, and his wish is granted-

Has anything good come from Hollywood in regards to bible movies? I'm looking for something modern that I could watch. Thanks.

I like to watch this one:

Much love!

The problem I see a lot of Hollywood movies is that they tend to try and steer the audience to the progressive Christianity goal or worse.

That's what I see to, and I avoid most all of them.

My sister didn't watch movies about Jesus in particular, because she wanted her perceptions of Jesus formed entirely from the Bible, not Hollywood.

For myself, I just don't like to sit there and watch something and have to think to myself every five minutes, Hey, that's not in the Bible!

Much love!

Sounds creepy, like someone's bad idea. Nothing against proposing the movie but Hollywood might have gone too far with that one.

Yeah I kinda have that prob too. I also have my pre-conceived ideas of how things happened. Then when the movie doesn't fit I get thrown off.

Have you seen "The Ten Commandments?" (1956)

I bought a digital copy from Amazon Prime Video.

It takes some liberties/artistic license, but it's quite a spectacle.

If you don't have access to it I could probably arrange something.

It's not sectarian or anything, I don't think.

(I like "Samson and Delilah" (1949) too. and "The Robe")

It's not something you'd normally find on Netflix and such.

Actually, I just found it:

The Ten Commandments (1956) 720p

It's from a Russian server, so I don't know if it's legit, but I noticed that the pop-up nag screen goes away when you Hit the full-screen icon.
:)

I love the Ten Commandments!
Have you seen the sequel to The Robe-- Demetrius and the Gladiators?

I watched some of it. I'm still watching it, thanks Marks!

I really like the playful, joyful way he presents Jesus.

Much love!

I love the Ten Commandments!

I've always loved that one. We used to see it every year at Easter when I was a child.

Much love!

Ben Hur, with Charleton Heston.

Much love!

Not sure they're from Hollywood but many of the old Cathedral Films productions from the '50s (I think) can be found on YouTube. They're not bad, actually.

"Jesus of Nazareth' with Robert Powell is pretty good..:)-

I disagree.....It’s a MASTERPIECE !

Okay, now you've got my attention. One of the complaints I have with some of the old biblical movies like The Greatest Story Ever Told is that they portray Jesus as being stiff as a board.

It was a spectacular movie. But I had problems with the portrayal of the relationship between God and Moses. You will have to let me know what you think about the movie.

@devin553344 I watched it last night and like you said it was spectacular but lacking. The bible version is more spectacular though and I didn't like the portrayal of God and like you pointed out the relationship was wrong too.

Robert Powell was a brilliant Jesus. If you haven't seen it then it's a must see.

I kinda think some Hollywood people like to discredit God because of the old testament and treatment of homosexuals. So they always seem to put a discredit to God killing people. And the Exodus is a prime example of that. I think they're trying to steer young people towards their spiritual city of Sodom and Egypt.

Not that I like God killing people either. But I know he can make it up to people that he kills thru the resurrection and heaven perhaps.

i like that movie Jesus of Nazereth it's a very long 3 part movie but it is worth watching

It was originally a mini series.......5 nights.....two hours per night , or something close to that...


Here’s a bit of trivia......watch Robert Powell.....He was not allowed to blink in any of the scenes....
