Just watched the film on YouTube


Overall, I think it's a very good movie. I think they left a lot of important things out such as Jesus returning from the grave as it ended right after the crucifixion, and also the beheading of John the Baptist, Satan tempting Jesus, any many of the sermons as it mainly focused on the miracles Jesus performed rather than His message. But every single line was a verse from the Bible rather than an interpretation from a writer's imagination so what it did include was accurate. The film is only 70 minutes long so it covered a lot in such a short time, there are just some key details I wish it covered. But as a whole the film is very entertaining and it's fun to see how a film about Jesus in the silent film era was made compared to later films about His life. I would recommend it to everyone.
