One thing about film is that it offers more possibility for a greater level of diversity of audience members. What I mean by that is, people who may not be actively engaged in religious practices, such as reading the Bible or attending church, may be more inclined to watch a movie or a short film regarding a religious topic. Therefore, by properly executing a Biblical topic through a movie, it is possible to accept a higher outreach of people and expand their knowledge potentially about Jesus and God&#8217;s Word.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the three films: The Greatest Story Ever Told, King of Kings, and The Passion of Christ, all depict the same story however all in a slightly different way. Granted, all three of these films were created in different years therefore the level of technology improved with each film, however, I personally favored The Passion of Christ. At first, I&#8217;m sure people may have been slightly repulsed when watching Jesus&#8217; crucifixion scene due to all the blood and explicit imagery, however, that is one of the main reasons why I appreciate this film the most out of the three. Being able to display to true genuine pain and horror that Jesus went through for his children allows a more appreciative reflection for the viewers. If this film reached a new unreligious child, I would strongly believe after watching this film they would gain more curiosity through Jesus&#8217; life and the Christianity religion.<\/p>\n<p>With that thought in mind, the ability to produce an exponentially acceptable film, and of course providing a well endured musical background to capture and maintain the attention of the audience, has its own individual ability to grow the diversity of a Christianity religion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being able to portray a significant Biblical moment through film production, such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, must be carefully executed.
