Overview
Since the beginnings of cinema at the end of the 19th century, Jesus of Nazareth has been one of the favorite subjects. The first movies were filmizations of traditional Passion plays, or brief sketches in which famous religious paintings were animated and reenacted by actors.
The movie From the Manger to the Cross (1912) marked a first important turning point. Filmed on locations, for the first time the movie treated the life of Jesus as a continuous cinematic narrative. The example was followed by other ambitious productions, such as Christus (1916), and I.N.R.I (1923).
The silent era came to an end with the movie The King of Kings (1927). Director Cecil B. DeMille offered the first attempt to offer a product that could not only be well-received by church-goers but also reach out to the larger audience of movie-goers. He accomplished his goal by giving more room to "minor" characters, adding to the plot, and giving a more "human" dimension to Jesus himself.
