Mary, Mother of Jesus (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary, Mother of Jesus (1999) is a made-for-television Biblical film that retells the story of Jesus through the eyes of Mary, his mother. It stars Pernilla August (perhaps most recognized for playing Anakin Skywalker's mother Shmi) as Mary and Christian Bale (perhaps most recognized for being the latest cinematic Batman) as Jesus.
It is considered to be Catholic propaganda in that it promotes Mary's prominence in Jesus's life when in fact such ideas about Jesus's upbringing are unknown. It does not confirm whether Jesus resurrected either, and instead the movie closes with Mary suggesting the disciples should start preaching about her son.
