Good suggestion there. Problem is, both of them are dead. And even if Jeffrey is still alive today, he’d probably become one of the oldest actors to play Jesus onscreen (he would have been 86 this November 25th). Well, we can dream.
Just my opinion, but special effects really have this tendency to become cheesy or hokey when pulled off the wrong way.
I agree. The way his appearance have been handled is not to make him seem like a ghost or super human but to appear and disappear in such as way as to leave the disciples totally confused, and acting as if to say, “Did that really happen?’ Am I dreaming or not? “ One of the most effective depiction of his walking on the waters I have ever read would have Peter in the storm tossed boat, and peering out into the storm and seeing Jesus walking toward him across the waters. He then steps out of the boat and takes a step. Suddenly fearful he begins to sink and calls out to Jesus. The suddenly he feels hands pulling him back into the boat, and once in he realizes it is Jesus. H eis befuddled and says, but “did we not leave you behind?” And Jesus looks him in in the eyes, and smiles, ironically, “No. you were mistaken. I am always with you.”
I often say this
, but the BBC-HBO 2008 miniseries The Passion has, IMHO, what is the best portrayal of the resurrection appearances of date. The series deals with Jesus not being recognized by Mary Magdalene and the disciples at Emmaus by casting actors (different one in each scene) different from the ‘real’ Jesus (Joseph Mawle). And at the Upper Room, we just suddenly hear Jesus’ voice out of nowhere, cut to the disciples’ reactions; there’s nothing really fancy in all this, just some subtle, nifty camerawork, which actually lets the viewer decide for himself whether Jesus is really there or maybe the disciples were just having some vision/hallucination or something.
Me too. Although a part of me (the naughty part) hopes that this would not turn out to be something like a Braveheart 2.
The disciples, looking extremely confused put the food in baskets and begin to carry it to the nearest people. Matthew and James carry the baskets from their handles but soon find them too heavy. Placing them at the feet of one gathered family the contents are overflowing over the top and onto the family’s son’s feet.
Oh, my bad. You meant Selena Gomez, right? I must be thinking of the other Selena (Quintanilla-Perez), the one that got murdered.
Golgotha was a mass and the very end was the resurrection. The tomb was the chalice and the stone over the entrance was the paten. The corporal was the folded napkin the shroud was the altar cloth and the priest’s vestments. Because the Jews bury the dead with all collectable blood, Jesus’ body would have been buried with the blood soaked cross and with the blood from the rocks and dirt at the base of the cross. The dirt, stones, and cross would have formed the altar. They also washed the body of dead that had to be done in the tomb so the bloody water stayed in the tomb. Holy fire from God burned up Jesus’ body, wood of cross, dirt, stones and water the same as Elijah’s sacrifice was consumed, but the linen remained, because it is not consumed by holy fire, see Lev 10. In Hebrew SAF the word for chalice or basin is the same as entrance, the empty tomb is like the empty tabernacle.
The gospel accounts can be harmonized see my chronological harmony scripturescholar.com/GospelHarmonyDouay.pdf
Yes, I am perfectly aware of all the different attempts at harmonizing the gospels. But my point is this: while throughout most of history more emphasis was given on attempting to harmonize the four accounts, I think that it would not hurt to view them as separate, standalone works, each with different perspectives: for example, reading Matthew as Matthew, without ‘interference’ (I know it’s not the best word to use, but for lack of a better term) from Mark or John. I think that both approaches - seeing them together and as separate - have their merits.
Okay, first off, ‘anime-style’ is very broad a term.Here’s one:
Make an animated movie about it where the style of animation is anime-style.
You gotta have to be more specific.I mean, have the style used by Kosuke Fujishima when he made the TV anime version of Ah! My Goddess.Okay, first off, ‘anime-style’ is very broad a term.
If it was me I would make it from the perspective of the soldier who pierced him in the side.
There might have been a detachment of legionaries in Judea, considering that there was an uprising led by Barabbas. Probably for the 10th or 12th legions stationed in Syria.
