My Review:
The Chosen is very powerful movie. I feel it brings the Bible to life and I feel like I now have better understanding. The actors were just excellent in their roles. I always love a movie that makes you think about people and situations in different ways that you may have not thought before.
Episode 4- Among stories that were covered was the grief Thomas felt over his wife's death, healing of the blind man, and Jesus spending time along with God. Each story was woven beautifully into the other.
In this episode the only problem I had was understanding the Jewish leaders in their meeting, their speech was not very clear at times.
Episode 5 brings out the stories of Johanna's thoughtful gift, Mary and Martha's visit, and what started Judas going astray.
Episode 6 I'm calling this the how could this happen episode. It starts with stones thrown at the disciples, the death and life again of Lazarus, and Judas, oh Judas.
I feel I could watch this movie again and again. I know I would pick up on more revelations and insights. Watching it with friends, your church, or family would be great so you can talk about it afterwards.
