Thank you for your review! As for me, through this film, I was able to see the Gospel of John in a new way when I saw Jesus healed the son of Roman officer, by saying, “Go, your son lives.” In that sine, I saw how truly Jesus wanted even Romans soldiers to have faith.

I have been looking for a Jesus films blog. Here you are! Nice! As you know, this one has been also translated to many languages (nearly 300?). And they are continually translating the film to new languages. When I was at Israel, I was privileged to meet the team who was translating the film to Hebrew. It was pretty neat. I hope that the Gospel of John, and, Visual Bible Gospel of Matthew would be translated to many languages, too.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

LJ, I’d be really interested to know your source for that? Going by memory (and this was almost 2 years ago), I watched the director’s commentary (which also featured Neeley) as part of my prep for it, and I thought that it was only then that I picked up it was an “accident”. But then I may very well have remembered that all completely wrong.

Or it might be that it being captured on film was an accident, but the decision to include it once it had been discovered was, as you say, “a [purposeful] concession to the Christian community”.

Thanks again,

Matt

Thanks for this; it’s really interesting. I don’t know if I’d call the timing of the last cross shot “fortuitous” though… According to Ted Neeley, the inclusion of the shepherd in the final shot was a [purposeful] concession to the Christian community, including Neeley himself. Gread podcast!

Excellent insights, Matt! I’m sorry I missed this one when it was new. I really appreciated your attention to the oft overlooked details of the film. I’d be curious to hear more of your thoughts on the theological aspects of the film as well. But, “most acclaimed Jesus film of all time”? You’re joking, right?

I do find it interesting that this film virtually always makes lists of Jesus films, even as it, technically, only loosely fits into the genre. Interestingly, Idle’s “Jesus Christ: Lust for Glory” quote was indicative of the early concept for the film - to lampoon Jesus. But, as the Pythons did research and read the Gospels, they decided Jesus was nothing to laugh at and instead should be treated respectfully. It’s interesting, then, that their efforts to avoid poking fun at Jesus himself garnered accusations of outright blasphemy.

Thanks again for another insightful podcast! Looking forward to the next!

I think there are “indications” - their similar ages, their style of dress, their interactions and so on. It’s not definite proof, so perhaps another word might have been more appropriate, but I think it’s fairly likely that that is what is intended.

Yes, I wasn’t meaning to suggest it was anybody else, but Hunter had to use a lower more serious voice.

Several times you refer to the cast as “students”. Yet there is no such indication in the movie that they are anything other than an acting troupe.
