This is important, because it’ll come up later.Ĭlavius and the apostles fish at night on the Sea of Galilee. Clavius gets a good close look and sees that he is gone.
The two thieves are still writhing in agony, but Yeshua the Nazarene ( Cliff Curtis) is motionless. The wailing of the assembled women is unnerving, the stench is putrid and they just wish these doomed men would die already. The Roman soldiers, in a modern twist, are not all heartless monsters. Clavius is dispatched to Golgotha to check on the crucifixion. In this version he lives barely a day after being spared, which serves the dual function of telling audiences “this ain’t your typical Sunday school picture” and working in a little fan service for those that know all the New Testament’s side characters.
#WHO PLAYS SOLDIERS IN JERUZALEM MOVIE MOVIE#
Barabbas? I thought he goes free? Say, when does this movie take place exactly? When the action moves to a hill outside Jerusalem’s city walls, we realize we’re just around the moment most other JC biopics conclude.ĭespite what Richard Fleischer and Anthony Quinn filmed decades ago, Risen suggests that Barabbas did not turn his life around and eventually come to the teachings of Christ. Clavius captures and kills a particularly feisty rabble-rouser named Barabbas. Rome is having a rough time with the Judean zealots, their blood constantly aboil in anticipation of their messiah. We meet Joseph Fiennes’s Clavius in battle (well, this low-budget affair’s version of battle – 15 guys in uniform v 15 other guys in robes).
It’s not a bad idea, really, to graft the conventions of a police procedural on to a Bible epic, and for about 30 minutes, Risen, from Waterworld director Kevin Reynolds and Sony Pictures’ in-house “faith-based” unit Affirm Films, looks like it’s going to be a winner. Get some results and get them fast – the head of the entire department will be here in a matter of days! Lean on your informants if you have to, just solve this case and solve it now! It’s a scene from a thousand different cop movies, only this time the detective is a Roman tribune, his angry boss is Pontius Pilate, the ticking clock is a visit from Emperor Tiberius and the missing person is Jesus of Nazareth, the risen Christ. A detective is summoned to his chief’s office, where he’s read the riot act.
