The Miracle Maker - The Story of Jesus Reviews
A few more details...
Kudos to the film for providing an accurate portrayal of Mary Magdelene -- she was NOT a prostitute or an adulteress, but rather the victim of demonic possession (Luke 8:2).
Double kudos for resisting the temptation to record the moment of resurrection, something that the Gospels tell us nothing about -- no witnesses, no record. My big gripe with a local passion play, and my only real gripe with Mel Gibson's film, is their attempts to include this moment. It doesn't add anything, it actually detracts from the dramatic power of the account.
Which leads to a TRIPLE kudos, for their rendering of the wonderful encounter in John 20:14-16. If that moment doesn't bring tears to your eyes, better check your pulse, because you must of a lump of rock in your chest rather than a beating heart.
Finally, a slightly ironic kudos for them being smart enough to leave out the line from Matthew 26:73 ("You must be from Galilee, you have the accent!") -- since the actor who voiced Peter had a very obvious Scottish burr. (-: I was able to get over it through most of the film, but including that line, especially at that moment, would have made it impossible to take seriously.
It is to laugh
Oddly enough, this claymation work in its tininess &humility details the hand of God, so extremely humane. Watch the faces on the figurines, more precise than any hollywood take.
