About this movie

Inspired by Scripture and rooted in history, The Young Messiah imagines a year in the boyhood of Jesus. When the mystery of Jesus' divinity begins to unfold in His early years, He turns to His parents for answers. But Mary and Joseph, in an effort to protect their child, are afraid to reveal all they know. How do you explain the ways of the world to its Creator? Follow the young Messiah as He and His family take the extraordinary journey from Egypt to Nazareth and on to Jerusalem – where His true identity and profound destiny are revealed.

This is one of the most beautiful movies of Christ Jesus ever produced. I was amazed how such a baby Christian like renown dark fiction writer Anne Rice, could have such a sensitive insight on how Christ Jesus, The Creator of our universe incarnate, could have possibly lived his young life before He gave His life for His crown creation that He loved so much; the human race. She must have truly been anointed by the Holy Spirit as she wrote the treatment for this gem of a picture. If you hate God, or don't believe in the bible, this movie would just be a foolish flick to you, (as would be the cross, of course) but if you believe in God and you believe the Holy Bible, this will be a real tearjerker for you no matter what denomination of biblical Christianity you adhere to. This is a good movie to invest in, if for no other reason but to encourage master filmmakers like Chris Columbus, (Home Alone and MANY other films) to continue to produce master pieces like this that mean so much to so many in the world who joyfully look forward to the coming of their Creator and Savior, Christ Jesus in the not too distant future!

To the Wayclst extremists its your loss for not supporting this cause of his skin color btw yes he was whlte,many pastors proven this. Ruddy = having a healthy reddish color, a ruddy complexion ie rosy red blush as theIrish are ruddy. Davidwas a relative ofJesus and look in Revelation1 asJesus had whitehead and white hair... Many proven him and majority back then that were there were. Maybe your all just obsessively envious of us and jealous that you cant see facts. MlxlngUP was wrong to.

to black people jesus is black, to white people he's the stereotypical aryan jesus form, to asians he was asian...as i dont know if they think worshiping a white guy would be .. I'm not sure what an asian christian thinks. But i do know that the bible is a bunch of bronze age thinking that is full of hateful stuff. Only would our brainwashed country in the united states give this film 4.3 when in reality it sucks.boring ,stupid, probably long
