Product Description

An epic in the spirit of The Passion of the Christ, this widely acclaimed motion picture is a meticulous recreation of the turbulent era of Jesus and the events that changed the course of history! Narrated by Golden Globe nominee Christopher Plummer (Best Supporting Actor, American Tragedy, 2000), it’s the bold and powerful story of Jesus as told by his disciple John. The best-loved but least understood of the gospels, John presents a uniquely human portrait of courage and passion encompassing Jesus' entire three-year ministry, the final years of his life. Intimate and reflective, The Gospel of John offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the incomparable life and times of Jesus Christ.

Beautifully made, accurate movie
I absolutely love this movie. I am currently rereading the New Testimate in chronological order (Bible purchased on Amazon), and I am pleased to see that this movie followings my chapters almost almost scene by scene. I often find myself smiling and renembering that a I'd just seen (movie) or read the exact thing (Bible). Truly AMAZING!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars "this was the real light"
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    Using the American Bible Society's Good News Bible, this word-for-word production is meticulous in its detail, and exquisitely acted and filmed. The Gospel of John emphasizes the divinity of Jesus, and has some of the best loved passages of scripture, and perhaps the most well known verse in the New Testament, John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life".
    The superb cinematography, the authenticity of the costumes and sets, and the marvelous acting make this production a must in every Christian film library, and it would also make an excellent teaching tool.
    Henry Ian Cusick is brilliant as Jesus; an actor with extensive theatrical credits and a varied life experience, being born in Peru, raised in Trinidad and Scotland, and now living in England. He has a face of depth and beauty, with much expressiveness and a voice that is a joy to listen to. There are scenes with a wide range of emotion, from the sensitivity before the raising of Lazarus, to the driving out of the money changers with passion and rage. This is a strong, vital Jesus, not the ethereal slender man that is sometimes depicted in films, and one that I am sure is more like the Jesus of history.
    Other splendid performances come from Scott Handy as John the Baptist, Daniel Kash as Simon Peter, Richard Lintern as the Leading Pharisee, and Stephen Russell as Pontius Pilate.
    The narration by Christopher Plummer is masterful.
    The lovely outdoor locations were filmed in Southern Spain, and the score by Jeff Danna, using native instruments, is wonderful, and includes the ney, a middle-eastern flute, and an ancient fiddle called a rebab. Soprano Esther Lamandieu adds much to the music with chants in Aramaic, especially during the final credits. Total running time is 3 hours.
    The Special Features: "Behind the Scenes", total running time 1 hour and 39 minutes.
    1: History of The Gospel of John, with comments from the Academic Advisory Committee of Visual Bible International, Inc.
    2: Director Philip Saville, who explains why he chose Cusick for the part of Jesus and the difficulty of filming a word-for-word script.
    3: Screenwriter John Goldsmith tells how the script was constructed and talks about the absurd charges that the Gospel of John is anti-semitic.
    4: Director of Photography Miroslaw Baszak.
    5: Production Designer Don Taylor, on building the sets and finding the outdoor locations.
    6: Costume Designer Debra Hanson on the 2,500 costumes, and the symbolism of the color palette used.
    7: Composer Jeff Danna in the recording studio.
    8: Hair and Makeup Designer Trefor Proud on the magic of his craft.
    9: Narrator Christopher Plummer.
    10: Henry Ian Cusick.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding portrayal of Jesus -- one of the best!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    I really love this DVD! The Gospel of John features an outstanding cast, most notably Henry Ian Cusick, an actor in his 30's who brings out the human side of Jesus but does it in such a reverent yet dynamic fashion. Here is a strong rather than wimpy Jesus. Here is a Jesus who is serious but who also laughs and shows his anger. This human portrayal of Christ does not detract from the divine side of Christ; rather it enhances it. The Bible speaks of Jesus Christ, both as the Son of God and the Son of Man - the Word who became flesh. Cusick makes the words of Christ come alive through his dynamic portrayal.

    Cusick's acting is just as outstanding as Robert Powell (Jesus of Nazareth) and James Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ).

    Another outstanding actor is Daniel Kash, who plays Simon Peter with a lot of feeling and passion. He brings out the different sides of Peter.

    The only actors I felt were miscast were: the actress who played the Samaritan woman (she portrayed the Samaritan woman like a homeless person with a slight mental problem); the actress who played Mary the mother of Jesus (she looks more advanced in age than Mary seems to be).

    Even though this film is taken word-for-word from the Good News Bible, the actors speaking make the words flow dramatically so that it does not sound like people just reading a script in a play, they make it into a real feature-length movie. I also enjoyed Christopher Plummer's outstanding narration -- Plummer is a perfect choice as a narrator since he is so accomplished an actor both in film and in the theatre. His eloquent narration holds the whole narratives together and guides the viewer smoothly along the verses and chapters of the Gospel without distraction.

    This movie helped to give me a better appreciation of Jesus' work and teachings. It brought out the whole theme of the Gospel of John: Jesus truly is the Son of God; through believing in Him we may receive eternal life!

    I enjoyed the special features on the 3rd disc. It offered interviews of Henry Ian Cusick and Christopher Plummer and also gave us a glimpse of how the movie was made.

    If you want a movie that does full justice in portraying Jesus according to what the Bible says, look no further. This movie is excellent and gets better through repeated viewings. I hope you will be blessed as much as I was through watching it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Watch it again and again
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Very well done and sympathetically personified by Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus.

    The people who received their miracles were well portrayed:
    the man at the pool,
    the Samaritan woman at the well
    and my favourite, the blind man from birth.
    I found it funny to watch him looking around all over up and around at the impressive Temple while being escorted by the Temple Guards to his own Inquisition and his replies to his Inquisitors/Pharisees really funny. He probably would have actually done that being blind from birth and now seeing.

    Watching it surprised me because it put the Humanity and emotions behind the words spoken and reminded me that they did not speak in a monotone nor with a stiff upper lip British(emotion-less) accent. I kept listening again and again and thought Wow! It felt like that?!?! And, the real Jesus joins in with extra commentary which makes it even more fun and at times, involves lots of wailing.

    Now, I've mentioned this to some English friends but they didn't want to watch/hear a Jesus which was emotional. Made me wonder what's going on.

    Bought this to give to a Spanish friend who is wants to practice his English with a proper British accent. Hope he will be able to tell me whereabouts in Andalusia it was filmed in.

    The Gospel of John est un excellent film, sorti dans l'ombre de La Passion du Christ de Mel Gibson, sinon il aurait eu un bien plus grand succès, car à mon avis il est bien supérieur à ce dernier. La narration, la mise-en-scène, les acteurs, tout est presque parfait. J'ai en acheté une bonne dizaine d'exemplairs, j'en ai bien sûr gardé un et offert les autres à des amis.

    Must-have para todo Cristiano.

    Es la vida pública de Jesús narrada desde el punto de vista del Evangelio de san Juan. Tiene toques de video-pelicula-documental pues tiene partes que son narradas por un narrador como si se tratase de un documental sobre la vida de Jesus aun siendo un flim.

    Lo único malo de este DVD es que no dispone de los subítulos en Español, muy necesarios para todo hispano hablante. Sí dispone de subtitulos en inglés.
