It's got everything!

Quote from: Color of the Cross!

This powerful, epic film vividly portrays the last 48 hours of the life of Jesus Christ and challenges commonly held assumptions about Him. With moving performances from Jean-Claude LaMarre (Malcolm X) and Debbi Morgan (Woman Thou Art Loosed), this stirring film is a triumph!

The first depiction of Jesus as a black man, Color Of The Cross is also the first to suggest that the Crucifixion could have been racially motivated. A compelling script and astounding interpretations of The Bible make this daring masterpiece an achievement not to be missed. With its inspiring, unconventional approach to an emotionally volatile issue, Color of the Cross presents a fresh perspective on the history of Christianity and delivers as moving a portrait of His life as has ever been put to film!

By portraying Jesus as a black Jew, this movie may appear controversial to some. However, it stands to be the single most positive image of a black lead character in a film to date. This film will undeniably resonate in the hearts and minds of the black community and strike a cord of inspiration in the hearts of Christians of all ethnicities around the world.

Color of the Cross tells a story that is familiar to most. The movie addresses four areas: Jesus and his disciples, the state of mind of the Romans occupying Judea, the issues facing the Rabbis in the Sanhedrin, and the family life of Joseph, Mary and their remaining children as they were affected by Jesus' persecution.

The movie opens with Jesus and the disciples approaching Jerusalem for the Last Supper and the film unfolds with the events leading up to Jesus’ capture and crucifixion. This extensively researched film remains true to Biblical and historical facts.

Shot on 35mm anamorphic film, Color of the Cross theatrical release is due in October 2006, distribution rights held by 20th Century Fox Entertainment and followed by the DVD release by 20th Century Fox Home Video Division who also released Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” on home video.

Color of the Cross is a Nu-Lite Entertainment production, and producers are Rev. Cecil "Chip" Murray, Kenneth Halsband, Jean Claude LaMarre, Executive Producers Lila Aviv, Marc Porterfield, and Jessie Levostre.

A Black...Jew? MINDFREAK

And I love how the race card is used for Jesus's crucifixion. Not saying that racism didn't exist back in the day but shit...Jesus is Rodney King confirmed.

My sister was forced to watch this yesterday apparently. Her mom's side is heavy on afro-centric Christianity.

Is afro-centric Christianity like afro-centric Islam because the film could be pretty enjoyable then

Where did this jesus is black thing come from? He was middle eastern, he wasn't black or white! He probably looked like Osama Bin Laden.

Also, why is the director playing Jesus Christ? Isn't that a bit egotistical?

The director playing Jesus is just as bad as Denis Dyack hanging both of his degrees under the "The Creation of Adam" painting (the one where Adam and God are reaching to eachother). God Complex ftl

I have no reason to believe that Jesus wasn't a black man. Sure as fuck wasn't white.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #11 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:29:25 PM »

My Puerto Rican Grandmothers would probably have a heart attack if they saw this film. I wish I would have known about it about a week or so before Easter, so I could have mailed them a copy.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:31:01 PM »

Look at 'dem Jews! They look so evil! And look, the dude at the end is Peter Parker's mean Russian landlord in Spider-Man 2. My sister said this was one of the most anti-Semitic films she's ever seen.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:33:20 PM »

Even I cannot support this

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:34:34 PM »

But it stars Peter Parker's greedy Russian landlord, who abuses his daughter and always begs for rent! I think this actor is trying to damage Hebrew relations on purpose with his film roles!

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:37:43 PM »

I would still see this movie just to see the inevitable "landlord comes to collect his rent from Jesus a week ahead of schedule" scene.

Because in the bible they describe him as having dark skin, and dark curly hair or something.

I don't see why people are laughing at other's because they think that Jesus wasn't white. I find that a bit narrow minded.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:54:29 PM »

White people claimed Jesus as their own years ago, and at least they did it with style. In all the Jesus movies he looks pretty awesome, like a rockstar masochist.

The idea of a Jesus who can't pay his child support, wears grease in his hair, and has ashy elbows is not entertaining to me

Himu · « **Reply #18 on:** April 09, 2007, 05:58:54 PM »

Okay now you're being stupid.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2007, 06:00:42 PM »

Not stupider than the idea that Jesus was black.

Himu · « **Reply #20 on:** April 09, 2007, 06:01:28 PM »

I don't understand how Jesus being black is stupid at all. It's considerably less stupid than him being white.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #21 on:** April 09, 2007, 06:06:52 PM »

Jesus had hair of wool and was cruising around Jerusalem in fucking SANDALS. There's no WAY that equals white.

PD, do you just say stupid shit b/c you're that desperate for attention, or what?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #22 on:** April 09, 2007, 06:07:47 PM »

Nobody is saying he's white. I'm laughing more at the low-budget, afro-centric Christian film starring some black guy that apparently is more anti-Semitic than a Nazi war film.

And I've made fun of Jesus being white many times before - I'm an equal opportunist!

He probably had a bit part as EXTRA #4

You know this is a bad afrocentric movie when they couldn't even get Mario Van Peebles to be in the star role

The look on the lambs face and the way the lil guys face is burried into Furry Jesus's large hard bicep, it looks as though furry Jesus is fingering its balloon knot.

Sounds like Jesus was a college student.

No way. I don't recall hearing stories about Jesus stealing livestock or evidence of rap music existing hundreds of years ago.

And that instantly equates to him being black? I never understood either side of this argument. He was MIDDLE EASTERN. Right?

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #38 on:** April 09, 2007, 10:57:55 PM »

He looked like Winona Ryder, Jenny Lewis, or Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Ichirou · « **Reply #39 on:** April 09, 2007, 11:32:33 PM »

Dark skin =/= black

Middle-eastern people are dark skinned and have hair like wool (have you seen sheep's wool? It looks nothing like an afro). Jesus wasn't white, but he wasn't black either. STOP TRYING TO OWN HIM VIA ETHNICITY, PEOPLES.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #40 on:** April 09, 2007, 11:34:34 PM »

Jesus was probably Asian. They wouldn't even care.
