i have see many of the movie make about the life of jesus from the great story ever tell to jesus christ superstar . i would have to say that bruce marchiano portrayal make jesus a be very humane and compassionate about the suffering of the community . the jesus he play steer away from the stoic shakespearean type portrayal by max van sydow and robert powell and make the character very accessible and someone you care about . in addition to bruce marchiano pretty watchable performance and it be good to hear the late richard kiley narrative of the gospel and his rich unique voice ( we will miss it ) enhance the treatment of the story . overall and i like this film which be underrated and less watch in comparison to the other more famous depiction of jesus life . have watch this film recently have encourage me to want to watch mel gibson the passion of the christ when it come to singapore next month . it would be interest to make comparison between the two film . i speculate that the film probably would complement each other and provide different perspective to jesus character and life .
