A Última Ceia

Ok, l love a good story but let's stick to The Book. No amount of creative license can make the story better. You can never top the Holy Spirit as an author. If you feel the need to inject info into the story for continuity, that's ok but to change events is not and this retelling does just that. The actor playing Judas was superb but there's a reason he didn't hang himself in the city street. John was too old for this part. The women running was odd take and had no context. The disciples fishing a week after the crucifixion in a deep state of depression? Jesus appeared 3 days after His death to the disciples which is a corner stone of theology.

Considering this movie was produced by a well known Christian Artist, it was very disappointing that it was a bit bizarre and unscriptural. It is understanding that there is going to be dialogue and events that will not be portrayed in the Bible. It is not acceptable when events in the Bible are distorted or completely false.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie with great anticipation, so it was a significant disappointment. I am waiting for the next sequence of The Chosen, which I have no doubt will present the Last Supper with great reverence and accuracy.

If Chris Tomlin produces another Christian story, hopefully he will do so with more accuracy.

There is nothing special about this movie. All the characters have English translated names, Jesus, Peter, etc., not their originals: Yehoshua, Cephas, etc. Acting, cinematography, script, are so mediocre. Not a movie that you should see, except you are a devout Christian, Jesus Freak, or somebody who eager to learn Christianity from the basic. The producer or director claims that this movie is historically accurate. But it isn't actually. Its better to watch Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptations of Christ" or probably Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ". Or Mormon cartoon propaganda ia more interesting for me. 😇

My honest opinion on "The Last Supper" is not that good. While the cinematography was okay, there were a few factors about the movie that didn't move me.

1. The character that played Jesus did not do it very well, it was like an empty actor just reading a script. He didn't give the emotion or attitude that the Bible portrays in some aspect. For instance, the den of thieves scene, when Jesus was angry at them, the actor didn't give that emotion.

2. The vfx was horrible, snakes slithering around was like a bad graphic video game. Going into things, missing part of the body.

3. Vital moments were missed, the Crucifixion wasn't shown or the manifestation of God when Jesus died on the cross. It wasn't shown how mary found his tomb empty.

4. Overall I just didn't feel moved, it was almost like the movie wasn't anointed in a way. Or God wasn't a central piece in the film! Almost like doing something without consulting God. Even during Jesus getting whipped, I wanted to feel something so bad, but just couldn't.

Honestly, I had high hopes for The Last Supper, but it completely fell flat. The movie lacked depth and didn't explore any real details that could've made the story compelling. It felt rushed, surface-level, and ultimately boring. For a film with such a dramatic premise, it was surprisingly dull. Not nearly as exciting or thought-provoking as I expected. Disappointing. It wasn't nearly as exciting or thought-provoking as I expected it to be. There were moments that could've led to deeper discussions or tension, but they were glossed over or rushed. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity-disappointing from start to finish.
