Risen [Blu-ray]

Our new favorite Easter movie ! What a wonderful story. Joseph Fiennes does an excellent job playing a very tired Roman Legion Commander , who longs for an end of battle and death, and achieving peace in his life. He comes back from battle only to be immediately sent out to take charge of the final stage of Jesus’ crucifixión . He gets there just as the earthquake hits and the sky darkens, and sees how affected his men are. He sees Jesus’ face but Jesus is dead. He allows the Jewish friends of Jesus to take him down for burial in a tomb. He sets guards and seals the tomb. He is troubled and weary , but thinks that it is finished. Then the real story begins as he is ordered to find The Body…..Which has Risen.An exciting story from beginning to end, rivaling The Robe. The man playing Jesus is excellent and real. You’ll love it. For Christians there is nothing objectionable and lots to love. This movie is professional and respectful. Go for it!

It is a family tradition to watch the show every Easter. Blows me away every time! I just wish the ending was better, but that has nothing to do with the message that it’s so eloquently portrays!

Excellent movie! Highly recommend it.

Great movie

From an accuracy stand point there where several parts that I do not think where correct.1. at the beginning the Romans are engaging a group of zealots and the attack not in tight formation causing several of the soldiers to be killed. The turtle formation looked correct.2. The High Priest hid the soldiers in the Temple which would never have happened because they where Gentiles.

Great movie!!!! We would definitely watch it over and over

Movie for easter

This is a movie about Christ our Lord. A Roman Tribune found Christ after his death. Very heart warming and inspiring.
