Of the three Biblical epics they've shown this weekend, I think this version might have had the most relatable and, well, human version of Jesus. Being a little impatient, playing with kids, it really helps sell him as feeling real. #TCMParty #TheKingOfKings #SilentSundayNIghts

My great grandmother told me of seeing this film in a theater when she was young. It is special for me to see it.

Unlike the Nicholas Ray version, where Judas is somewhat sympathetic, and you can certainly understand his motivations, THIS version of #TheKingOfKings pretty much goes, "Yup, Judas is a jackass." #TCMParty #SilentSundayNights

Really interesting choice to not only start off in media res, but with Mary Magdalene. In other films, she has much less agency. #TheKingOfKings #TCMParty #SilentSundayNights

I don't know if these are literal demons or figurative, but this is a pretty damn cool sequence. #TCMParty #TheKingOfKings #SilentSundayNights

I will say, I like the motivation behind Judas' betrayal in the 1961 #TheKingOfKings much better, as it shows a tragic misunderstanding of who Jesus is & what He stands for, trying to make Him into a nationalist symbol. #TCMParty #SilentSundayNights

I don't know why, but I LOVE the image of Jesus tapping his fingers while he waits for Peter (?) to get done fishing. #TheKingOfKings #TCMParty #SilentSundayNights
