Follows the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius, a powerful Roman Military Tribune, and his aide Lucius, are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Yahshua in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem. In 33 AD, a Roman Tribune in Judea is tasked to find the missing body of Jesus Christ who rose from the dead. Not just a book, also available as documentary. Jesus, whole Christianity is nothing else than an invention of the Roman Empire.<br/><br/>Jesus never exist. A fairy-tale.<br/><br/>Titus Flavius is Jesus and his father is "God". Vespasian, the father of Titus Flavius, was declared a "God" from the Senat in Rome.<br/><br/>The Bible was written by Josephus Flavius (and some others like the Herods and Alexandrian. Jewish families from Judaea and Egypt). The Bible is a co-work from those families and the Roman Empire.<br/><br/>It is nothing new what I write, just it is forbidden to talk about in the western worlds. They prefer to stay in their world of lies. We in the ME know that since the beginning and we are not allowed to talk about. Whenever we try we get bombed and killed from the same once keeping that lie alive. The big challenge for writing a story around a biblical event is trying to fill in the blanks without "coloring outside the lines". The writers of RISEN did an excellent job! There was only one scene where they may have stepped out of bounds a little: When Jesus told the disciples to toss the net on the other side of the boat, (John 21:2) The writers put Clavius in the boat with them. Not scriptural, but no harm done. The rest of the scenes that were not specifically from scripture took into account the historical backdrop and human nature, leading to likely conversations, and plausible outcomes where scripture left off.<br/><br/>The lead actor (Joseph Fiennes) was very good with subtle expressions that spoke volumes! One notable scene was when Clavius found the other tomb guard, Polybius (played by Richard Atwill) and questioned him. This had to be the most demanding role of the movie, and Richard Atwill was outstanding! Dear IMDb, please get his photo and more details about him on this website! Yes, it’s aimed at believers. But Reynolds & Co. avoid the traps of Mel Gibson’s movie and many others by making these times horrifically real, but these Biblical figures and what they were about compelling in their kindness, soft-selling their message so sweetly that even a Roman with blood on his hands will question his Empire, his religion and his way of living before all is said and done.
