The rest of the world is on Jesus side.

the scene with the Lord's prayer was very powerful.

@9bahai9 Oddly enough, Mel Gibson took the opposite tack. Jim Caviezel wore contact lenses to turn his blue eyes brown to more closely approximate what Jesus must have looked like, as well as an appliance to make his already-somewhat-aquiline nose a bit larger.  Fortunately for Gibson, Caviezel's hair and beard, grown out, were already black and needed no extra help.

My favorite movie at the beginning of each year,, every New Years Day i put this movie in my DVD. This is an Awesome movie, very moving and extremely a loving man who loves all and died on the cross for our sins, He obeyed, He showed mercy and He most assuredly spoke the Word that was given by the Father of Heaven, the music was emotional, and Jeffrey Hunter did justice as Jesus in this movie as the centurion,,,,,Lucas

@9bahai9

who cares why they did what they did, it was (and still is) a wonderful movie. As a young girl this movie made me understand a lot of what the Bible taught, never thought about what people were supposed to look like back then..... maybe that would still be a good lesson now for all of us.

Unfortunately, the two worst wigs in this movie were allotted to Jeff Hunter and Rip Torn (Jesus and Judas!). Millions of bucks, thousands of extras to make the movie..then put stiff fake cheap wigs on your stars, and shoot 'em in close ups for a giant wide screen movie! What were Bronston and Nicholas Ray thinking?

@9bahai9 Because they wanted to westernize Him, make Him more Hollywood-like :/

@9bahai9 maybe the light hair and piercing blue eyes is the director's effort to make him appear radiaint or not so ordinary.
