Jesus #1

The Jesus in "The Greatest Story Every Told" speaks in a ponderous manner, British accent of course, and barely moves his facial muscles. and he has BLUE eyes.
Presentational staging, lots of violins and sopranos.
Everyone....speaks....really....slowly....
the crowds are silent and respectful.
oddly enough, the crown of thorns on this Jesus didn't produce any blood. and he didn't get flogged. his robe got a little dirty, and he's barefoot, but that seems to be the extent of his pre-cross suffering. oh, i take that back. there are about 7 little red stripes on the back of his robe, and his hand is bloody. Poor thing.
