Who plays Christ?
A kid we're all very excited about, Todd Hocheiser, a wonderful young actor we found in Akron, Ohio, after a nationwide talent hunt. But Hocheiser is seen only fleetingly and with extreme taste. Our story is told through the eyes of a Roman tribune, Autochlus Antonius, an ordinary man, skeptical at first, but who comes to a grudging respect for this swell figure from the East.
As for the religious aspect, does the depiction of Christ Jesus cut the mustard?
Well, the nature of Christ is not quite as simple as your photoplay would have it.
How so, father?
It's not the case, simply, that Christ is God or God - Christ.
You can say that again! The Nazarene was not God.
He was not not God.
He was a man.
Part God.
No, sir!
Rabbi, all of us have a little bit of God in us, don't we?
It's the foundation of our belief that Christ is most properly referred to as the Son of God. It's the Son of God who takes the sins of the world upon himself, so that the rest of God's children, we imperfect beings, through faith, may enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
So, God is - split?
Yes! And no.
There is unity in division.
And division in unity.
I'm not sure I follow padre.
Young man, you don't follow for a very simple reason. These men are screwballs.
We don't need to agree on the nature of the deity here. If we could focus on the Christ, whatever his parentage. My question is: is our depiction fair?
I have seen worse.
Reverend?
There's nothing to offend a - reasonable man.
Father?
The motion picture teleplay was respectful and exhibited tastefulness and class.
Who made you an expert all of the sudden?
And, what do you think, Rabbi?
Eh? I haven't an opinion.
