Jesus Of Nazareth Film Analysis

806 Words4 Pages

This week’s films were Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus Christ Superstar. The portrayal of the character’s faith in Jesus of Nazareth were realistic to how the bible portrays them. Them being Jesus and the others such as Mary, the dimples, and more. In this film, Jesus is seen or portrayed more as a divinity than human. The film portrayed him as this calm and calculated person. He did not say much but when he spoke it was straight to the point and powerful words. He used scripture to speak and his power was seen when he healed the possessed man without needing to touch him. The human side of him was seen by his empathy towards the death of Lazarus when he wept. Which is also why the portrayal of Jesus is realistic as this was in the bible. As for the other characters, like in the synagogue, their faith was portrayed realistically as well. Their faith could be described as strong in that they’re of course skeptical when someone walks in saying that they are the messiah. The film helped with the portrayal of all this by the effects like the camera angles, the music, his voice, and Jesus always looking confident and well groomed. I see the elements of redemption and trust in this film. Redemption is seen in this film because Jesus is the messiah or the one who will redeem them. It was also seen in the scene where the man …show more content…

I do not think I would change a thing from the scenes I saw. Everything seemed very planned and put together. With all the small details and effects. It seems like one of those films that when you watch it again you catch some new things. That is also because of how long the film is. As for Jesus Christ Superstar, I have a different opinion. The dancing and singing really took away from what they were trying to portray. For this movie, there was way too much happening in which I felt overwhelmed. If I were an advisor for this movie I would like to tone it down some. This way it is not so

    Images like the one depicted by Mel Gibson in the 'Passion of the Christ' removes from the gentle face of Jesus that I believe should be the main focus when talking about Christianity. First of all it is inaccurate since it shows a Caucasian Jesus which is a historical fallacy. Furthermore, the movie focuses too much on how the great man died than on why he died. It is almost a snuff film in many aspects and breeds feelings of hatred instead of faith. I did not like the depiction of Jesus in the movie at

    There are plenty of guns fights and loads of action scenes, but the grittiness is missing, replaced with a light-hearted vibe.

Much of that isn't a bad thing, as you'll definitely get a laugh or two during certain purposely funny

    For example, what I found very different from the play was that when the interviewer asked:”What would you say to Mckinney if you see him again?” and the reaction of people was obvious, they were angry and saying that “I would definitely shake him, and ask him why would you do that!”. Through the layering of different scenes, it created more of a tense mood and strong emotions because we can see the reactions being put together instead of one after one. The directing of the movie was impressive, especially the scene where Aaron Kreifels talked to Amanda about how he found out that Matthew’s body was against the fence.

    It excellently shows how Jesus was both human and divine. I believe Jesus to be the Son of God who, through events such as the temptations and his baptism, was able to understand his purpose and calling in life. He was a naturally divine being who, even before realizing how unique he was, stayed faithful and without sin. While understanding that Jesus was in fact a human being, it is very important to remember that he embodied the Lord and so he was not just man but also

    While the music played a large role it really showed off suspense and climax moments. The music was usually a loud flat decline in scale which created a thick surrounding feel. This complemented the lighting in a way to work together and create a scene which builds suspense and makes you want to know what happens next. The makeup and costumes in the film were very different from person to person to show either manic or considerably “normal” personalities.

    Jews would expect a biography of the “messiah” to celebrate the traits of a great leader of Israel who would, like King David, establish Israel as a nation, or they would expect him to be a divine force from God to vindicate God and the righteous and punish sinners (Ehrman 104). But Jesus does not lead Israel to any great victory but is executed like a common criminal and mocked with a crown of thorns and a sign on his cross that says, “The King of the Jews” (Mark 15:17-26). Jesus does exhibit supernatural powers—he heals people (e.g., Mark 1:29-31), raises the dead (e.g., Mark 5:35-42), casts out demons (Mark 5:1-20), walks on water (Mark 6:45-56), and makes a few loaves of bread feed thousands of people (Mark 6:30-44)—and he is supernaturally vindicated by God in the end (Mark 15:38). However, he does not use those powers to defeat the enemies of Israel but to show that his kingdom is of heaven, not earth (Mark

    Jesus was very authoritative/stern and kind throughout all of Mark’s gospel. Him driving out demons in an authoritative way (pg. 1 paragraph 7, casting out demon) along with healing many people (pg. 2 paragraph 4, man with leprosy) show both these characteristics quiet well. At times, like when the Pharisees did not want him to help a man on the Sabbath (pg. 3 paragraph 6) and during the storm on the boat he was portrayed as somewhat angry and maybe even impatient with both groups (pg. 5 paragraph 7).

  • 12 Years A Slave Film Analysis

    1731 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the film 12 Years a Slave the editor, Joe Walker, makes use of a couple of techniques and styles that adds to the film in its own way. Long shots – Joe kept the long shots as long as he thought was necessary to add to the subject matter and the feeling he wanted to bind with the story. At the end of the film there’s this extremely long shot where Solomon is practically staring at the camera for about a minute and a half. The timing of that shot is so perfect because it’s not too short so you don’t have enough time to think about what just happened or too much time to overthink the situation. Closer to the end of the shot he lets the sound fade slowly and rapidly gives you a wakeup call when the next shot starts off where Solomon and the rest of the slaves are busy working in the field.

Mankiewics’s feast “Cleopatra” in 1963 may give you some ideas about the glamorous yet tragic life of the last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. The film has succeeded in demonstrating many historical aspects, especially the mighty ambitious Cleopatra, yet still has some inaccuracies which all will now be discussed. The film accurately portrayed most of the historical details, from the triumph to the tragedy of Cleopatra.

    Finally, this last example of Christian life story taken from the film is representing most of the Christians reasons on believing Jesus Christ. Newsboys, the band that is part of the cast of the movie asked by a reporter how they can believe that God and Jesus are real. They answered that they believed because it gives them hope. Just like many Christians’ reason why they still believed in God and Jesus Christ in spite of their hardships is because by believing, it gives them hopes in life and motivation that after all these circumstances, there is a reward that awaits them in the kingdom of God.
