Okay, 'Jesus' (1979) - Something's Been Bugging Me

Okay, so I finally watched the 'Jesus' movie from '79. I know, I know, I'm late to the party, but I've been on a real bible movie binge lately. And wow, it was... intense. I'm not super religious or anything, but I'm always a sucker for a good human story, and seeing Jesus portrayed as so calm throughout everything kinda messed with my head. Like, especially during the Sermon on the Mount, he just seemed SO at peace even when talking these things that would have stressed me out so much. It made me think... What if the whole point wasn't just miracles and divinity, but about finding that inner stillness, right? My theory is that the movie is secretly a metaphor for mindfulness and finding inner peace amidst chaos. Think about it: He's constantly surrounded by skeptics, suffering, and betrayal, but he's always centered. They could have made him angrier, more reactice, but chose not to. And what if the miracles - you know, the literal 'wow!' moments - are included just to demonstrate the power that comes from that place of stillness? Like, you're so at peace with yourself you could just casually change water into wine. Maybe that's a bit out there, but it's how I interpreted it. I know some people might find some of the acting a bit wooden, especially the supporting cast. I noticed it a lot when they were listening to what Jesus was saying and had these blank expressions. But honestly, for a movie made on such a scale with so many extras and speaking actors? I'm surprised it isn't worse. I think it just adds to the somewhat detached feeling that I described in the first paragraph. It made me feel disconnected from the action, and maybe that's the point! Anyway, that's just my two cents. I'm probably overthinking it, but it's been bouncing around in my brain ever since I watched it. Did anyone else feel like the movie had this vibe? Or am I just projecting my own need for a chill pill onto a religious movie, LOL?? Lemme know your thoughts!
