Jesus: His Life

I'm in love with this documentary,, i've read the other reviews and i think people are completely wrong because this is a documentary series so you should not focus on actors' performance or the director or any thing other than the story and what the documentary is explaining and detailing about jesus life at time and the story itself, thanks for all the details and for showing us the life of jesus from the eye of the persons living in that time specifically

What attracted me to watch the three episodes (so far), was the fact that the actors look the part, from the region, miracles happen without any enhancements or celestial interventions. for those who never heard about Jesus, this is a good start, and for those who know a lot about Jesus, then watch and tell us more. it is always good to watch such life stories.

This is not a documentary...but rather a dramatization supported by commentary about life in Biblical times. Whenever a dramatic production approaches the Christ story people become outraged. Such is the way of the world. They responded the same way with Jesus Christ Superstar. If any aspect plays contrary to the way they want to know the characters and events involved, emotions take over. And thanks to the Internet...some feel determined to voice their opinions. Next.

Loved it but, everytime Joel Osteen came on and opened his mouth, I muted the movie. He is the least charitable person in the world . You chose the wrong guy to talk about Jesus.

This series is spectacularly cast and produced. For one of the first times the viewers get to see what people in that time and era might have actually looked like. And the first person perspective is a unique and different view on the greatest story ever told. That being said, the content was confusing a good deal and contradicting the sources which it claims to have sited. I can only speak from a Biblical point of view, being a scholar myself, and say that many of the portrayals contradict things that are portrayed in all the gospels-there fore should be included/referenced. As opposed to portraying characters as being confused when all sources indicate they were sure-I speak primarily of the John the Baptist episode that portrays John as not knowing who Jesus was after baptising him let alone claiming Jesus did not know who He was til he was baptised which contradicts the primary sourcing of this docuseries. This production is supposed to ONLY cover what other could have thought and does not have the authority to say Jesus thought anything aside of what the Bible says of him-as this production claims in advertisements. So disappointed in that end.
