Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })King of Kings is a 1961 Biblical epic about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, directed by Nicholas Ray and distributed by MGM.One of the first Hollywood films since the silent era to avert depicting Jesus as The Faceless or The Ghost out of piety, it stars Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus — and Rip Torn as Judas Iscariot, whose role is somewhat beefed up. Philip Yordan wrote the screenplay, while the narration was written by an uncredited Ray Bradbury and spoken by an uncredited Orson Welles. The music score was composed by Miklós Rózsa.Not to be confused with The King of Kings, a 1927 version of the story directed by Cecil B. DeMille. | |

The Roman centurion at the crucifixion also gets this treatment. He is given the name Lucius, and he keeps popping up in various points of Jesus's life, like being in charge of the massacre of Bethlehem, and acting as Jesus's defense attorney during his trial before Pilate. But he doesn't age much if at all. | |

Adaptational Heroism: The film portrays Caiaphas as an Anti-Villain. Biblically The Fundamentalist, the Chief priest's conflict with Jesus over ideology and tradition is omitted from the film. Here, Caiaphas opposes Jesus because he fears the man will stir insurrection that would motivate Pilate and the Romans to increase persecution on the Jews. Although he understands Jesus is a man of peace, he will convict him as a Necessary Evil for the protection of his people. It is when Judas frames Jesus as working with Barabbas that he finally acts to arrest him. | |

Ascended Extra: The film has an extensive subplot of Barabbas being a Foil for Jesus - a fiery would-be liberator from Roman rule as opposed to a peaceful spiritual savior. Judas is also portrayed as Barabbas's close friend, and they even get into a battle with Pilate's soldiers early in the film. When Judas meets Jesus, he thinks he can help them overthrow the Romans through force. When this doesn't work out Judas betrays Jesus to the priests. Judas and Barabbas being friends was a device used in several subsequent adaptations.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
