>uh yeah... so I'm actually Jesus btwholy kino...
>>220097475This is really bad even by the standards of low budget movies shot in one room
>>220097475Oh I’m actually buddha as well
>>220097475I love this movie. It's great.
>>220097475Powerful movie. Not only do they have a guy convincingly play Jesus in an original dialogue setting, they did it in a way that speaks to literal atheists and dissipated modernoids who never thought they'd interact with Jesus.
>>220097871You got it totally backwards, he says in the films the theological side of his ministery was totally made up by hus disciples and he just told peoplr to be kind to each other and shit which is pure unfiltered reddit atheism .
>>220097983If you read the gospel it's obvious the historical Jesus would say the same thing. He doesn't reject the divine though
>>220098022I’ve read the gospels and jesus obviously believes in God. I think you’re just too fat.
I reject this...
>>220097475>>220097757>>220097871spoilers, people, c'mon
That movie made a Christian friend so fucking mad. He's better now, but until a year or two ago he would get red when talking about it, precisely for that.
>>220099850bodied
>>220099135They never ask JOHN about God but if they had, what do you think he'd say? In his situation? Obviously yes.
>>220099850What a dumb pharisee. This movie made me realize Christianity is true. The goal of Jesus's life on earth is to teach all humanity, from the individual point of view your responsibility is to join the whole and not be selfish forever. Any doubts or conflict over doctrine is just an excuse for unwillingness, which is pride, which is the same as atheism. John asks you to believe in him, not because he sets himself up as king in some other realm, but for the benefit of people here on earth and for your benefit.
why the fuck was there a sequel
>>220100853It was supposed to become a series, but this is all we got.
>>220099181diabeetus
>>220100834Christianity didn’t invent that.
>>220100927as stated in the film... christianity developed its current form though. Islam only copied.
>>220099736its famously one of the most pirated movies of all time. if you havent seen it, its your own fault really
>>220100958No, it really didn’t.
>>220097983"love thy neighbor" is literally THE central core of christianity. if that is le reddit atheism to you, then you should become muslim
>>220101006It did, that's how it had to go because previous incarnations didn't happen in the same turbulent society. Early Christianity was a mob of riffraff in a declining civilization, so they claimed the individual's relationship to Jesus was more important than his station in life. That doesn't work in a strong hierarchical society, which can absorb any number of martyrs. The new version stayed relevant when populations exploded, while Indian and Chinese philosophy came off both inhumane and unable to explain massive change in the world by comparison.
>>220097475The Jesus twist ruins this movie. A guy who has lived since the stone age is interesting, but making that guy Jesus suddenly makes the movie all about religion out of nowhere.
>>220101953It does ruin it, in order to bring it to a higher sphere. You could say it sacrifices itself for your sins.
>live 18 millennia By this logic, he would have a DNA trace show in every living person alive.
>>220102147real cro-magnon looking motherfucker
Dude looked like a rando anglo man. They could have at least picked a dude with pronounced forehead ridges
the movie would've been better if he was actually lying to them and managed to talk his way into making non-believers think he's an old supernatural being by pure skill alone
>>220097983In the movie he said he was preaching teachings he'd picked up from Buddhism.
>>220102716It should have been left ambiguous I guess
>>220102204That means he is technically the father of all
>>220102982It's still 100% more realistic and plausible for the final scene to somehow be another deception than the truth. No proof is actually shown. In that sense it is ambiguous if you think about it like real life, rather than movie logic. I would personally make it even more ambiguous, but I trust that the filmmaker saw something in the final scene that I'm not seeing. It's definitely a memorable scene
>>220100853Apparently they are making a third one where the main character undergoes gender reassignment surgery (and then tries, unsuccessfully and repeatedly, to commit suicide)They are going to call it>The Ma'am From Earth
>>220097475It was a fun movie. I like stuff like this where is just people on one set and it's driven just by the writing and acting. Like a play.
>>220102982Wasn't it? Kinda?
>>220097757>>220097983>>220098022>>220099850>>220097475it's even fucking worse because doesn't he say he's jesus and budda's deciple? so in this fedora tipper's dream jesus and christianity are fake copies of budism
>>220106099That's like saying Jesus is a copy of John the Baptist. Christianity fulfilled Buddhism. Your complaint is more like theological logic where Jesus has to be the origin of the universe because otherwise there's something greater and older that makes Jesus not the truth.
>>220106805budda and krishana are tellings of jesus because jesus actually existed, not the other way around. budda, krishna, all that jeet shit and muhamad were all made up like the morman stuff or scientology
>>220106935Not made up, just incomplete. Otherwise they wouldn't all be talking about the same general subject. The idea that Satan invented them has been repudiated and never made any sense in the first place, he should be promoting evil. It was just something people said to justify violence, it relied on ignorance.
>>220106099all religions are just fake copies of one another *tips*
>>220097475ngl when I saw this it changed my life. I love Huis Clois in general and especially loved the different academicians drawing out his stories' logical inconsistencies a la a Symposium.
For a movie with a 200k budget it’s pretty good.
>>220097475Well thanks for the spoiler, asshole. Guess I'm never watching now.
>>220099736>>220108485spoiler protections only last 15 years, scientifically
>>220106805That's retarded. Christianity does not fulfill Buddhism in the slightest.T. grew up learning from notable Christian theologians and studied Zen Buddhism
>>220103443The film would be wayy less memorable if the ending was left ambiguous. To the point no one would even care to talk about it.
>>220110502I was using it in the sense of fulfilling potential, not doctrine. They're both reaching for the same divine and christianity did it better
>>220104895The one guy turning out to be his son kind of made it obvious that his story was real.
>>220097475This movie is so fucking bad, I don't understand how it gets acclaimterrible acting, bullshit plot
>>220100991there is an official list?
