Product Description:
Good all around

Amazon.com essential video:
Originally made for TV in 1977, this in-depth (six hours plus) version of Jesus' life is so thorough that the first hour is devoted solely to the story of his birth. The film doesn't skimp on some of the other landmark events of this famous story either. Director Franco Zeffirelli gives more than 12 minutes screen time each to the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Passages of the Bible are quoted verbatim, the locations have a Palestine-like authenticity, and, aside from some of the principals (Robert Powell as Jesus, Olivia Hussey as Mary, and Stacy Keach as Barabbas), many of the non-Roman characters are actually played by Semitic-looking actors. Zeffirelli diligently provides the sociopolitical background that gave rise to Jesus' following and the crisis in belief it caused for the people of Israel (and one or two Romans). While not graphic by today's standards, some of the scenes--baby boys being ripped from their mothers' arms and slaughtered, nails being driven into Jesus' hands--may disturb young and/or sensitive children. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Best movie about the life and ministry of Jesus ever

I'm on my 2nd DVD and now it's skipping again. I would buy another one in a mano-minute but with all the new high tech TV's on the market today,it needs to upgraded. Does anyone know if they are going to digitally color enhance this movie. It's such a dull hue and really needs the touch up that most older movies gets. Also, it would be great to have special features like "the filming of..., outtakes, conversations with the actors today, those who are still living, with their opinions and thoughts ... Read More
