B/W Photodude Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 So, I viewed the movie "young Messiah". This movie was claimed to be about a year in the life of Jesus starting at age 7, when his family returned from Egypt. Knowing that there was scarcely enough information in the Bible to make a movie about Jesus during his childhood, I wondered how badly they would get things really wrong. It was pretty messed up. At the rolling of the credits, I see almost all Italian names, another "spaghetti" Bible story! Then at the end of the movie I found it to be written by Anne Rice, who also writes vampire books such as "Interview with a Vampire", which for a vampire movie was pretty good, except they do not go well with stories of Jesus. For a detailed story line, it is spelled out on Wikipedia (spoiler alert!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Messiah Film trailer is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVfmdLO2Ui8 If you decide not to see the movie (good decision!), here is the scene I liked the best out of the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMajKMJiRSk Very ending of the movie it read "Any similarity to any person living or dead is purely coincidental"!

Dr. Shane Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I enjoyed this movie and have considered buying it on DVD. If course it is pure speculation and comes from the mind of someone without an Adventist background. When those things are understood, I think the movie is enjoyable. It is much better than most of the trash coming out of Hollywood. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
