Mary Magdalene star Joaquin Phoenix talks about the expectations of playing Jesus, and how he tried to make the role his own. Report by Ferdia Carr. Test
He looked 60yrs old playing JESUS, what a joker for sure. The movie was terribly wrong👿 if you know the Gospels. Mary had 7 demons in her, that was not smooth running for her.
Words of Jesus in this movie: "How does it feel to carry that hate in your heart? Does it lessen as the months go by? It seeps into your days and nights until it consumes everything you ones were... But you MUST FORGIVE, there is no other way to enter the Kingdom of GOD." Can anyone argue with these words? Joaquin Phoenix is a very talented actor in this perfect movie.
This is a mischaracterization of Jesus' teaching. He taught that he was the only way to enter the Kingdom of God. Forgiveness is a work, a fruit of the Holy Spirit. But in Christianity, it is not our works that lead to salvation, it's our faith in Jesus Christ who died in our place so we may take his perfect righteousness and be counted as holy, as God is holy - as such, our faith, and the New Covenant that Jesus established, is based on God's Grace. Otherwise, it's a good message.
he doesn't want one. he's said he hates the oscars and pretty much only shows up to support his co-stars. if he does win i'll be surprised if he even accepts it. in fact when he was last nominated for The Master he called the oscars "total bullshit". i do want to see him win just to see what he'll do LOL
I'm sure he would like one. But like many others, he's beyond Oscars. Taking on weird roles in odd movies instead of repeat stuff. Some are bad movies, others good. But his acting is always beyond good. And I'm not into movie actor stuff. Could care less really. They're millionaires entertaining the mass of poor people, I know them and they know us no more than the man in the moon. But some really put their all into their acting. He's one of them I actually remember the name.
When the interviewer said to Joaquin "What's it like to shoot the crucifixion, was it grim and like all that?" Joaquin " Well, comparatively obviously not." I just about died!!
The best interpretation of jesus ive ever felt. It makes me feel so connected to the truth. Its like a radio station that finally has found the right frecuency in my heart. So grateful for this creation and for the people that made it happen.
Adriana Garcia Reyes r u kidding me ? Read the Bible if u want to be connected to the truth . Me and u both know that movies go and twist things to make things their way
I dearly recommend you the series called "The Chosen" (2017 -) on Angel Studios. With these series they have a different approach on the Gospels, apostles and Mary Magdalene are the main characters. First season, for example, has only 8 episodes and it peaks in its last episodes. ;) But Yung Jo is right :)
🐍He looked 60yrs old playing JESUS! GOD help this evil. Its the Holy Bible being insulted again. Have you read the Gospels, no! Start to know when you are being lied too.

Nope. For other movies maybe, but not as Jesus. Joaquin doesn’t seem like a happy person, and is annoyed. He doesn’t have a soft spoken caring tone in his voice.
@@shanesemathis3123 well, he was jewish and he did preach, but the two were unrelated, he didnt preach bc he was jewish and he was completely unlike the jewish preachers, or Pharisees, of the time
gerard comics I’m simply stating that before his crucifixion, he was a Jewish preacher and he was Jewish in every way. His followers and people who believed he was the messiah formed a sub group out of previously Jewish people after his crucifixion. He was not a Christian God, as the OP stated. The birth of Christianity is his legacy.
@@shanesemathis3123 He was and is the Only Begotten Son of God immaculately conceived, God's Word manifested in the Flesh. God Himself dwelt in Him. Your identification is demeaning of His Deity.
Jesus warned us about false gospels and false Christs, Joaquin just served you one up. Everybody knew Jesus was a man, the big deal was "HE IS THE SON OF GOD".
He portrayed Jesus as very layed back and it was enjoyable to see this. Will always prefer the interpretations of Robert Powell, Ted Neeley and Jim Cavizel though.
@@spinzbydagamer111 I don't believe in god. I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't believe in soul. I don't believe in anything. I think it's totally right for people to have their own beliefs if it makes them happy, but to me it's a pretty preposterous idea - Joaquin Phoenix Now you decide.
i’m an atheist too (former evangelical christian). i think it’s great he played jesus. it goes to show you that atheists aren’t all religious haters contrary to popular belief. this trailer looks good.
Why do you feel this way. What was it that made you think he was Miscast... I always thought skin color was a big thing in representations of actual likenesses but Hollywood seems to not care anyway.
If you want to be saved or born again please say this prayer. *** Dear Jesus Please forgive me for all my sins. ** I accept your sacrifice on the cross to forgive my sins. ** Please save me and take me to heaven when I die. *** In Jesus name I pray amen Thank u God is now with u to guide u always Please get a Bible to read (psalms, Matthew) Remember God will never leave you or forsake u ** No matter what!
@@dreadcthulhu5 in a interview he stated he doesn't believe in higher power, but just because he doesn't belive doesn't mean he did a bad jesus, he did a great job at doing jesus
i wish they wouldnt cast white guys to play jesus, the dude from hubba dubba land. idk how to spell nazzarath. but with that being said, my boy joaquin is the man for the role!
English is your second language huh. Maybe with better vocabulary the nuance would be a bit more apparent. FYI, half your comment made no linguistic sense whatsoever.
I don't understand the casting in this movie. Jesus died, on the cross, at age 33 and Joaquin looks like he is pushing 60 in this movie. I think it is great that Biblical stories are being put into film but at least get close to the actual story.
From playing jesus, to the most notorious comic book villain of all time
I knew I couldn’t be the only one who appreciated that irony
He's willing to play any interesting role.
He looked 60yrs old playing JESUS, what a joker for sure. The movie was terribly wrong👿 if you know the Gospels. Mary had 7 demons in her, that was not smooth running for her.
@@lovetruth5733 nah he just looked late 30s. People age better now than in Jesus's time
oscar doesnt deserve Joaquin
Joaquin >>>>>>>>>> Oscar
Relax bro the oscar won Joaquin
Exactly. I appreciate that he is around to expand our experience

John Cath Yes. Beautiful moment in the movie. I felt that in my bones.
well I can argue with those words, but I found the film extraordinary and it really got me emotional)

Wonderful! One of the deepest teachings of this movie!
NO MORE WAITING!!!! this man deserves an Oscar

When the interviewer said to Joaquin "What's it like to shoot the crucifixion, was it grim and like all that?" Joaquin " Well, comparatively obviously not." I just about died!!
I don't think the interviewer meant the pain of the crucifixion, IMO he meant the harsh living situations. Looked all so bleak

Caviezel all the way for me
He's second in line for me with Jim Caviezel. I cannot wait for Resurrection to come out!!!!!!!

Phoenix answered with the exact right and most important aspects of this movie! Wonderful!
(Even though he wasn’t asked about hem)
hey guys... yes I just watch Joker.
Mary Magdalene was amazing too, you gotta watch it as well
Joaquin Phoenix is a good Jesus

Thank you Joaquin for telling her story.😇
He doesn't believe in it. Cash, however...
@@liamh3964 He was interested in playing the role as the first Jewish actor to do so. I think he did a great job.

Talk about a real glow up
Brilliant
I've only seen Joaquin Phoenix in two films, namely: Gladiator and Joker. He was incredible in both.
The master was incredible
Walk the Line was amazing. I’m glad he now has an Oscar for Joker but he should’ve got one for Johnny Cash as well.
He is so soft and handsome
Yes he is! I'm always glad to find someone who also thinks he's handsome! :3
Truly handsome and an amazing person!
Impeccable.
Best actor of all time
Joaquin Phoenix...very talented at His Craft of course.
Great Movie .take my breath away!
I wonder if Joaquin knows Jesus?
Jesus warned us about false gospels and false Christs, Joaquin just served you one up. Everybody knew Jesus was a man, the big deal was "HE IS THE SON OF GOD".
Fabulous performance which dwelled implicitly on his humanity and his frailties, Christ the man as opposed to Christ the myth xxxx
Christ the myth… Jesus was 100% human and 100% God
Beautifully said!
@@robinyount7442 is. no offense
This is a myth. There is no basis for this movie. All of this movie is a work of feminist fiction.
Magnífico actor. Un hombre interesante.
I'm so glad this movie happened
Best movie I've ever seen👏🙏
He is a very talented actor.
He portrayed Jesus as very layed back and it was enjoyable to see this.
Will always prefer the interpretations of Robert Powell, Ted Neeley and Jim Cavizel though.
They best actor 😍
The ratings are terrible for this film but i thought it was great id give it 7.5 /10
Joaquin Phoenix is the best Jesus ever.
I see what you did there. Petty.
Caviezel is the best actor who played Jesus.
He is great
He looks like/reminds me a young Sean Connery here
An atheist playing Jesus. It can't be more ironic.
He's not an athiest.

You people don't know marry magdalene if u do u practice what u preach
He will be played the best jesus ever
Jesus was 33, to imagine him looking like Joaquin's aged face is kind of sad.
"Thirty three " probably looked a lot older 2,000 years ago. Especially if you weren't in the noble class.
@@dellsbells100 Joaquin looks too old for 33.
Some of the silliest comments are right below me. How he looks, Oscar awards, etc. Unbelievably pedestrian.
Stop your pretentious whining.
Cult leadership. It's in his blood.
The older he gets the more he looks like River..
I think he looks like his dad. A LOT like his dad to me
+ « From Jesus 2 Joker » !!!! 100% X3
this is not the right comment my dude
Great journalism here
It looks like he’s trying out Christ like attributes in this interview lol
If you want to be saved or born again please say this prayer.

Jesus was Jewish. Funny enough Joaquin's mother came from a Jewish family.

Why the hell is this movie banned in the United States, a country founded on the principles of Christianity... thats just fucking stupid.
…because it’s not a christian film.
Joaquin is Jewish
Even better since Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene et al. were also Jewish. Go figure. 🙌
Jesus may have been the prototype cult leader
Joaquin IS the Messiah
No he isnt. Hes a very naughty boy
Cult leader, clearly 😵😵😵😵
@@liamh3964 ???
No it's Jesus, that is very incorrect my dude
this is heretical
I don't understand the casting in this movie. Jesus died, on the cross, at age 33 and Joaquin looks like he is pushing 60 in this movie. I think it is great that Biblical stories are being put into film but at least get close to the actual story.
This looks horrible. Hollywood can’t never get it right. Passion of the Christ, the greatest story ever told and Ben Hur were the only good ones.
