Ok Iam not pushing any Abrahamic faith for me is just entertainment, but I had never seen this movie when it came out cause alot of ruckus in anycase they did not portray the entire population as Blackand Jews.. just Jesus and part of his family.
Blair Underwood made a short play sometime ago and was explaining his views to Phil Donahue.
I really wished if Black folks can pull off black Jesus movies they can do Axum,or Christian Nubia,at-least they can high lite those African kingdoms.

I have no idea what Jesus may or may not have looked like. But if blond haired, blue eyed Scandanavian types can play Jesus, why not a Black guy? There were more Black people in Ancient Palestine than Scandinavian types after all..... Just saying... I feel you though. It would be nice to see a movie about Nubia, or Ghana, Mali or Sohnghai. With all the Black celebraties with mega bucks out there, why can't it be done? Even if just as an indi film? |

Azur
They have been saying that for a number of yrs now,i'll believe it when I see it,just like they were supposed to make a movie about Taharka starring Will Smith but I won't hold my breath. Btw I can imagine much of the American public not wanting to see a movie about a civilization that was not only African but Islamic, the mood is not good so any movies of the medieval era "IMO" that deals with Islam in anyway is bound to fail at the box office,how ever there is nothing to stop them from succeeding in pre-Islamic or non Islamic African civilizations,sad but true this is the world we live in.

Yes, but neither Hannibal nor Taharka are from the Islamic period. Ghana isn't either, nor is anything Eithiopian. As usual, if it's going to change, we have to get the ball rolling. They never come looking for us. Then again, unless there is a story with a lot of blood, guts and action, they tend not to be motivated to tell it. Shaka Zulu and the story of the Mahdi in Sudan are examples, but both of these were told from a Eurocentric perspective. One exception was Lion of the Desert , the story of Omar Mukhti's resistance to Italian colonization in Lybia. I think they could do a great story with Eithiopia's resistance to Italy as well. A story with palace intrigue and interpersonal drama could be a draw as well. I think the biggest problem is the assumption that Africa has no stories worth teling. |

It's a guess based on the predominant physical type from skeletal remains they found from Roman era Palestine. However, it is a lot more realistic representation than any Hollywood version. As for blond Jesus, I was thinking more about European painting depictions for some reason. |
