I've seen it on some channel on TV, the political side.  It was very interesting indeed.  basically it talked about how Jesus was a "cult-like" guy and people were following him and he was gianing power and the romans did not like that upset in balance of power.

  Morgan Freeman played God. So if God is black (I can't say God is an African
  American) and the Virgin Mary is white....well you get the picture...

  By the way, wouldn't they have stoned Mary for having a child outside of
  marriage?

  Wouldn't Joseph be a bit angry with God for knocking-up his wife?

  (I know it didn't really happen that way and I want a Buddy Christ for my
  lawn)

  I will be in Hell soon (If it exists).

  I would like to see a movie based on the Scientific Facts and not on the
  Bible, focused directly on the true life and the politics of Jesus.

  I am sure that piss's some of you off. I just don't think we need to see
  Jesus walking on water or healing with a touch again. Do something different
  and controversial so people can form a well educated opinion. I did see part
  of great show on Discovery Channel about a year ago that was really good. It
  showed where he lived and how some of the stories came to be. Talked a lot
  about his politics and how the people rallied around him. I think it was a 1
  week special.

  I think it will be a long while before we see a Jesus that is not
  depicted as white.

  That would have caused a lot more protests than we've seen already about
  the movie, and would have made it even more controversial that it
  apparently already is.

  I saw a trailer of this movie and it's got me all excited about it.  The
  Jesus movies I've seen sucked because they don't seem very human.  I
  hope this movie isn't off the top dramatic, and sheds and really shows
  the human part of Jesus.  Like I want to see him moving about and
  struggling when he gets whipped and thrashed because it hurts.  Not that
  I enjoy that kind of stuff, but that's what I think he would have done,
  or anyone would have done.  And i cant really tell alot from the
  previews, but I really hope he looks more semitic than caucasian.  Yes i
  know there are quite a few semitics that look caucasian, but just this
  one time please! :)
