“An ordinary boy. An extraordinary faith.”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “It’s AD 30 and everyone is expectantly awaiting the coming Messiah. While Jesus isn't exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man. Soon, John, James, Andrew, Peter, and their new friends begin to follow Jesus on an unexpected adventure. This beautiful, 2D-animated story of Jesus is told through the eyes of his beloved young friend, the Apostle John. From the beginning of Jesus' ministry through his crucifixion and resurrection, LIGHT OF THE WORLD illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth changed the world forever and still changes lives today.”

PLEASE share your observations and insights to be posted here.
I can understand some liberties taken with Scripture (i.e., “The King Of Kings” [not to be confused with the unrelated Nicholas Ray photoplay “King Of Kings”], and the silent and sound versions of The Ten Commandments directed by Cecil B. DeMille, and The Passion Of The Christ, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera), but forcing something in that was never written by Saynct Matthew just for dramatic effect is wrong. However, some other additions here recalling verses five and six in the third chapter of The Proverbs Of Solomon and places wherein Israel is called the apple of God’s eye are clever and inoffensive.
I do not recommend this photoplay.
