Today is Good Friday..this film is a masterpiece ❤️🙏❤️ My precious daughter now Rests in Heaven with my Lord and Saviour 💔🙏💔 Lisa Marie was Baptized/Christened in April 1981 she was just 3months old ❤️ a true child of God 💔🙏😇🙏💔 Yes my faith has been tested no mother should bury their child 💔🙏💔 but i know Jesus wraps his arms around my Lisa Marie up in Heaven until mum can be with her and Rejoice again one day 💔🙏😇💔🙏😇💔🙏😇💔
What Miklos Rozsa did between 1958 (when he started to score "Ben~Hur") and 1961, with "King of Kings" and "El-Cid" is off the charts. There's nothing like it in Hollywood history, and in just ~3 years. His personal favorite was "Cid", I believe. "Hur" is the most famous. But, I'm with you... "Kings" is tops.
i love love love this movie since a child. l love how jeffrey hunter portrays Jesus with a quiet strength and purpose. No one could have done it better. RIP,
I completely Agree. He studied for months the part of Jesus and tried his darndest to make it as real for him and to relay that vibe,that energy presence to the screen! Amazing depth.
Totally agree. Was Jesus fair skinned with light blue eyes? Likely not. But I firmly believe that he was a handsome and a charismatic guy. I know it’s shallow, but we as humans are more inclined to listen to and follow people who are nice on the eyes and charismatic. And Jesus had many followers. Just because the Bible says that Jesus didn’t exactly look like a King, doesn’t mean that he was an ugly guy.
hace 0 segundos He was without doubt a handsome young guy in his early 30s , perhaps more like Jim Caviezel in The Passion of The Christ and less than Jonathan Roumey in The Chosen tv show
Jesus I’m not perfect. Please continue to motivate me to help others to the best of my ability and please continue to bless me to do your work always AMEN!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was only 6 yrs old my daddy took me my older brother my younger brother to see it I do not remember this but my mom said we were so excited told her all about this Jesus love this movie with the most best Jesus ever played Jeffery hunter those eyes of his Can't wait to meet you.lord Jesus face to face eternally amen
This is the best movie about Jesus. I saw it first at the movie theater in 1961 when I was 12. I have seen it many times since then and I have it on DVD. I always cry at the end.
Great Classic movie with Jeffrey Hunter and Royal Dano's face says it all at the end of the movie! Fantastic music and great actors through out the movie. Also, Orson Welles with that powerful voice! Jesus' shadow forms the sign of the cross with the fishing nets.
I saw this Movie at 7 1/2 yrs of age back in the mid-1960's. I cried for hours,afterwards, it touched me so deeply, and then I prayed deeply,lets just say I had an 'experience' !! at 62 1/2 yrs of age it has never left me!! it is soo sacred ,holy and special to me. God Bless you Jeffery Hunter,where ever you may be... infinite Peace Be with You. The Film's score is so phenomenal , its vast & beautiful- hard to find wrods for such incredible & moving music,as this!! thank you for this post-vid!!! Blessings to You ALL, this Thanksgiving Night 2020~!!
We need to see this movie on TV again so that our new generations can see Jesus and appreciate his coming. The music score is magnificent. It makes you stand up and praise God. Movies like this will never be made again. We have not produced humans that have a real love of the story of Christ. They go for the money, not the heart of the story.
Im nearly 56 and first saw King Of Kings aged 12 and have loved it ever since....Jeffrey Hunter (RIP) and the music makes this film up there with the best of them ! A very emotional film score !
Everytime I watch King of Kings (1961). I'll think of my late mother Norma. Both of us watch it. There's 2 scenes make me cry. 😥😥😥😥 The Crucifixion of Christ. Resurrection of Christ. He is risen. Jeffrey Hunter did a great job portraying Jesus.
Larry Mugrage I cried watching this as a little girl! My parents and us kids watched this magnificent movie every Easter! My parents are with the Lord and I will be there to see them and Jesus very soon I pray!
I saw this film first time when I was 6 y.o. Now I am 49. First time in English, I am from Argentina, so I saw it in the dubbed version. My mum died when I was 8, and she was a fervent catholic. We used to see this movie for Easter, it was mainly broadcasted on tv every Holy Friday. So many memories, and they are all beautiful. What an incredible production. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
OH MY!!! THANK U GOD FOR JESUS!!! THANK U JESUS FOR DYING SO WE CAN LIVE!!! HALLELUJA!!! THANK U JESUS FOR KEEPING ME & MY FAMILY BY UR POWER AMEN!!! GOD BLESS ALL OF U!!!🙏
I think it certainly has one of the best movie scores....after all, the quintessential maestro Miklos Rosza, who also composed the score for Ben Hur, composed this movie score!
@@scotttucker3673 He is here with us through Spirit you just got to seek Him with all your heart. “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 NIV
I like how Jesus says, “Do you know and love me? Feed my sheep for my sheep are in all nations.” We need to go into all nations and preach the gospel to every creature that hungers.
I've been watching this movie for a very long time, and just noticed that at the very end, His shadow, and the net the disciples were working on, formed a cross.
To jay harvey..yes i hav been watching this movie for a long time n i jus noticed@ the end by the sea. The shadow formed a cross. This was a "great movie' the best one ever!!!!!!!😅😅💛💚💜💙 n no one will ever play the role of Jesus like jeffrey hunter did! Ive watched all the movies of "Jesus" this was my favorite one!😅
I would nt worry about who plays the best actor of Jesus. I just would adore the real Christ whom he be and i will just know that he is the Christ portrayed in this movie .
I grew up with these great movies. Their will never be any movies to replace these classics. King of Kings, Ben Hur ( while it still has nothing to do with Easter it always played at Easter) and The Greatest Story ever told. They always bring back wonderful memories of a beautiful holiday. While as a kid I acquainted Easter with chocolate filled baskets but as an adult it’s a feeling of renewing, love and being close to my family when mom made Easter dinner and we would all watch these moves in the afternoon. It also reminds me of my beautiful mother snd how she so loved that time of year and still does to this day, spring made her so happy. God Bless all !
My Best Movie of the early 1960's,Saw Five times at the Theater and Drive-In in Worcester and Oxford,Mass.TV Premiere on Channel 4,Boston,Mass. March 9,1969,I purchased the DVD from TCM.com
The greatest film about Life of Jesus Christ in film history. Jeffrey Hunter was Jesus, the great actor who left us too early, unfortunately. Film for all times and for ever! It was made in 1961.by Nicholas Ray ( born: 7. august 1911., Galesville, Wisconsin, USA; dead: 16. juni 1979., New York City, New York, USA.).
Weve spoken with many people within the church and outside of church...after seeing jeffreys classic performance of christ...you do then believe THERE IS A CHRIST,,,magnificent,haunting and believable....jeffreys low voice is so capturing to all viewers of this movie.....the real Jesus would have been simillar in fishing so many followers..apart from the many miracles jesus made..he had to have a simillar voice and presence like that of jeffrey hunter to captivate and reform many millions around the world. Priests and bishops around the world have confirmed that what we are saying is highly true!!!
John 1:11 "He (Jesus) came to His own (the Jews) but His own did not receive Him; yet to those who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, to them He gave the right to become children of God- children not born of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." Receive Jesus today as your Savior! To know more, read the Gospel of John.
I feel sorry for you instead of finding the meaning of his resurrection. Care about music can say now after this virus all over the world who have power to stop it ? Only name can change and forgive sinners . King Jeuse there is no name above all names only Jesus Christ who was and he is forever
Thank you Anthony, for posting this wondrous clip of film---Blessed Easter to all, 2019. "Everyone is welcome in my Father's House." "Seek and you shall find."
