Miracle Maker turns Jesus into the tempter
Added 11/15/2009
I cannot recommend this movie due to its blasphemous depiction of Jesus at the Last Supper.
Watch the Last Supper scene again and pay careful attention to how they depict Jesus ordering Judas to go and do what he HAS to do. He does this several times to a seemingly reluctant Judas.
Jesus to Judas: "Judas, go and do what you have to do".
Judas' reply, "Master?"
Jesus to Judas: "While you have the chance."
Judas looks down at the table.
Jesus to Judas: "Go on, go and do it."
Judas still looking down at the table.
Jesus to Judas: "Go and do it quickly"
Judas appears overpowered and stammers trying to get out of it "Master, I . . " and then slowly and sadly leaves (apparently obeying) as if he has just been ordered to do something he would rather not do and betray his God.
Why has nobody else had a problem with this scene.
This is a terrible reinterpretation of the Gospel of John's 'Satan entered into him . Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."'
It is what Judas had already decided and resolved to do indicated by Satan entering him, not what he HAD to do or what Jesus repeatedly ordered him to do as if he had no choice in his actions.
In the Miracle Maker movie, it is like Jesus is doing the tempting in place of Satan and ordering Judas to sin when it appears Judas would rather not do this or has not yet made up his mind and is only being obedient.
God does not want men to sin and perish. Luke's and John's gospels indicate Satan entering into Judas when the decision has already made. That is before Jesus indicates to Judas that his cover is blown and that he should leave in John's Gospel.
The Last Supper is a crucial scene and the Miracle Maker film makers have twisted this badly. This portrayal would be disturbing in any movie, much less one that would indoctrinate kids with their first impressions of Jesus. I cannot recommend this movie which otherwise had promise.
I am throwing my Miracle Maker DVD out with the next load of trash.

Very Good Family Easter movie
Added 4/28/2009
I teach 6th grade Religious Ed. And I am always looking for good movies that are within the Catholic based beliefs. This movie was highly recommended by Relevant Radio (a Catholic Radio Station)as a good family movie. I no longer have children at home, but my husband and I enjoyed the movie. It is animated but very well done. I also really enjoy the "making of the movie."

Was highly recommended and lived up to expectation. "Claymation" movie that provided an entertaining and fairly accurate representation of Jesus. Great Easter time treat!
