The movie had Jesus cry out for God to restore his earthly father-Josheph from death..
Later Jesus as a 30 year old young man  was shown to have "feelings" for Mary, his 
cousin...

*We need to hold these "screenplay  liberties" in ballance with our personal
understandings of the events in the Gospel story..  Visual communication has
a powerfull effect on our Generation..

Someone in Sunday School asked for prayer for everyone seeing this "Movie"
as it will introduce Christ to many..

I was impressed by the sight of Jesus working with his hands.. useing
a hammer and chisel.. following the death of his father.. *Jesus knew
he had a "purpose"  and he would have to "find  it".. as all sons must,
but I had never thought Jesus would struggle to let go of his "Trade"
and earthly role as Josephs son a carpenter.

*I see what you are saying, with the journey to the desert for Jesus..
the "Movie" showed a hungry and thirsty Jesus... I hadn't meditated
on that as well, as my AoG upbringing allways showed him clean and
close to food and water<G> *Earlier they had a sceen where he was feasting
at a relitives house... The laughter was good..<G>


The "Temtation of Satan" portion was uniquely strange and allmost "psycodelic"
with the fade back to the view of earth from outerspace.... and a very hip and
modern Satan.. Jesus "put him in his place" with the King James!<G>
