comment
Jesus is a 1999 Made-for-TV Movie or Miniseries, originally broadcast in two parts, about the life of Jesus from The Bible. It stars Jeremy Sisto as Jesus, Gary Oldman as Pontius Pilate, Debra Messing as Mary Magdalene, and Jacqueline Bisset as Mary the mother of Jesus. Sean Harris, in an early-career appearance, plays Thomas the Apostle.Its narrative combines and condenses The Four Gospels and expands upon several details like Jesus's human characterization and the socio-political context of the time.It has been called a "kosher" counterpart of The Last Temptation of Christ due to its similar focus on the humanity of Jesus, while still being more orthodox in doctrinal matters.

comment
Canon Foreigner: The film has a tag-along Roman official named Livio who is recording the administration of Pilate. He also hangs out at the court of Herod Antipas and watches the crucifixion of Jesus. It is implied that he is Titus Livius, simply rendered as Livy in English.

Anachronism Stew: Deliberate. Satan appears to Jesus as a man in a modern black suit (also as a seductive Hot as Hell Lady in Red, but the former guise is more prominent) that shows Jesus many conflicts from the future, from the Crusades to World War II, in an attempt to convince him that his sacrifice will be in vain.

Adaptation Distillation
 Jesus (1999) / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: To harmonize the Gospel accounts. For instance, Jesus first meets his disciples Andrew and John in the company of John the Baptist, as in the Gospel of John. Andrew and John take them to their brothers Peter and James, who are fishing as in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke (albeit with Andrew and John). The post-Resurrection appearances of Jesus are condensed to just two: First he appears to Mary Magdalene outside his tomb. When Mary tells the other disciples in a locked room, "doubting" Thomas openly voices his doubts, then Jesus appears in their midst.

The Scream: Quite understandably, Jesus screams his head off in agony while his arms are being nailed, dragged upwards to form the cross, and then when he's given a stand, but only so his feet could be also nailed. The close-ups of his tortured, bloodied face do not help matters.

All-Loving Hero: Jesus loves everyone, even the Roman invaders, to the extent of crying over their bodies after a battle with Zealots. Barabbas the Zealot leader is disgusted, so he punches Jesus in the face. Jesus doesn't retaliate and literally turns the other cheek, and Barabbas hits him again. Jesus is even willing to forgive Satan, but Satan doesn't want forgiveness.

 Jesus (1999) / int_a65288e2
comment
Ascended Extra: The film adds some father-son bonding scenes with Jesus and Joseph the carpenter. Early on, they're on the road looking for work. Later when Joseph dies of a heart attack, Jesus pleads with God to raise him... this is before he fully realizes who he is. The film hints that Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus, had a Childhood Friend Romance with Jesus, but he believed it was not his Father's will that they marry. The film fleshes out Barabbas as a Zealot, fighting the Romans and butting heads with Jesus on occasion, before Jesus is crucified in his place much later. A Flash Back shows Jesus and John the Baptist visiting the Temple together as children. Matthew first shows up collecting taxes door to door, backed up by Roman soldiers. He goes to Jesus's family house in Nazareth and takes their few chickens. The stress leads to Joseph's death by heart attack. Later, Jesus saves Matthew when Zealots attack and kill his escort, and he recruits him to be his disciple. Satan is made into a visible antagonist tempting Jesus at key points of his life.

Dreaming of Things to Come: The film opens with Jesus dreaming about The Crusades, a witch burning at the stake, and a World War I battlefield where people all invoke his name. This gets a Call-Back when Satan tempts him not to go through with his crucifixion and death and runs him through the same scenes of a Crapsack World.

Anti-Villain: Caiaphas the High Priest is given some context as the Jewish religious leader, willing to stand up to Pontius Pilate when he decides to make a big entrance, ordering images of the Roman Emperor to be displayed in the Temple. While Caiaphas decides Jesus should die, it's because he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
