I haven\u2019t done one of these posts for some time, owing to business and just scraping by. \u00a0But thought I\u2019d throw out my own humble opinions. Now Easter is not like Halloween or Christmas. \u00a0It\u2019s a little better than Thanksgiving in terms of specials. \u00a0Thanksgiving is a barren wasteland, unless you\u2019re into modern takes in which sadistic genocidal barbarians sweep into a veritable paradise peopled by godlike beings, any one of which could easily die for the sins of humanity. \u00a0If that\u2019s not your cup of tea, you have to go back and dig, or settle for football.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
But Easter, while not as filled with options as the first two mentioned, still holds its own. \u00a0The 1950s were especially plentiful for Hollywood spectacles trying to unpack biblical themes. \u00a0Some were hits, others misses. \u00a0All were designed to sway people away from that new invention that was luring them into their living rooms and away from the movie theaters.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Other specials have come and gone. \u00a0And you always get the media\u2019s yearly nod to heresy as a gift to the Christian faith that the media despises. \u00a0But these five are the ones we try, if possible, to see every year. \u00a0No matter what, we watch The Ten Commandments<\/i>. \u00a0And my love for that movie has been documented elsewhere. \u00a0Jesus of Nazareth<\/i>, a mini-series from the dawn of mini-series mania, is too long to watch in one setting. \u00a0But we try to see the last parts of it dealing with the Passion Week. There are others I could have listed, but these five we will see at least every couple years, if not every year.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The Ten Commandments (1956)<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Well done ABC for continuing the tradition of showing this magnificent extravaganza, just like it did when I was growing up. \u00a0As a kid, I didn\u2019t pay attention to most of the build up. \u00a0But once the plagues begin, I was glued to the set. \u00a0Of course there have always been detractors, but as I take account of just who those detractors are, I come to love and admire the film all the more. \u00a0It\u2019s entirely kid safe. \u00a0And for my money, a film that bludgeons me with the message \u2018human slavery is bad\u2019 is a damn sight better than one that joins the modern bedrock of future genocides with the message \u2018we need to eliminate the\u00a0<\/span>surplus\u00a0population to save the planet!\u2019 Re<\/a><\/span>ad here<\/a> for a more detailed take.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Jesus of Nazareth<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Released the same\u00a0<\/span>year as\u00a0the groundbreaking series Roots<\/i>, Jesus of Nazareth<\/i> has weathered the time a little\u00a0better. \u00a0Roots was heavy handed, and the preachiness was at times a little over the top, even if the evils of slavery needed to be shown. \u00a0Still, it was in the early days, meaning that Hollywood was still finding its way with this new form of production. \u00a0But despite the earliness of the series, Jesus of Nazareth<\/i> still looks fresh more often than not.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Probably no other series has the proportional\u00a0<\/span>star power. \u00a0Just about ever person is an A-list character actor or\u00a0even A-list actor, period. \u00a0James Earl Jones, Micheal York, Peter Ustinov, James Mason, Lawrence Olivier, why the list is endless. \u00a0Zeffirelli\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>cinematography\u00a0is breathtaking, the music stirring, and the\u00a0series takes pains to make sure that some classical\u00a0<\/span>paintings\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>artwork\u00a0that Christians\u00a0would\u00a0have known make their way into the composition of various scenes. \u00a0You can almost hear Pilate say, \u201cEcce homo!\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Yes, it is a \u2018low fantasy\u2019 version of the Gospels. \u00a0Most miracles are downplayed, and many of the overt\u00a0<\/span>supernatural\u00a0stories are eliminated altogether. \u00a0Robert Powell\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>portrayal\u00a0is of a small, mystical savior,\u00a0very human, and very frail physically, though in control spiritually. \u00a0It also gives Judas an out as the well meaning but ultimately exploited victim of the resident bad guy (played by the always solid and reliable Ian Holm). \u00a0Nonetheless, compared to the media\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>installments\u00a0nowadays, this is closer to\u00a0Sunday School than you can imagine. \u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>And some of the all star cast \u2013 again\u00a0<\/span>probably\u00a0the most star laden of any series ever \u2013 shine in\u00a0their\u00a0<\/span>respective\u00a0rolls. A\u00a0few seem miscast it is true. \u00a0But Michael York as the Baptist, James Farentino as the stumbling bumbling soon to be leader of the new church, and Rod Steiger\u2019s unmatched\u00a0<\/span>portrayal\u00a0of Pilate are\u00a0the high points of a series just filled with high po
\nints.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Ben Hur<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Equaled only by <\/span>Titanic<\/i> for the number of Oscars won, Ben Hur is all that the <\/span>Ten Commandments<\/i> are, but more refined. \u00a0The story is darker, crisper. \u00a0The acting more modernized (for that time). \u00a0The\u00a0<\/span>plot lines\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>dialogue\u00a0are more acceptable to the\u00a0modern\u00a0<\/span>palette. \u00a0It is\u00a0sweeping\u00a0<\/span>grandeur\u00a0in every sense of the\u00a0word. \u00a0Not as financially\u00a0<\/span>successful\u00a0as\u00a0<\/span>The Ten Commandments<\/i>, nonetheless it was still the biggest movie of the year, and it earned its Oscars in ways that many feel\u00a0<\/span>Titanic<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>never really did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
The story looks like a Jewish story about a Jewish man betrayed by his Roman friend. \u00a0But in the end, the\u00a0<\/span>finale\u00a0is squarely on the shoulders of Jesus. \u00a0Like The Ten Commandments<\/i>, the actual biblical story is\u00a0almost off to the side of the fictionalized plot of lovers and friends. \u00a0But where Commandments ends at Sinai, Ben Hur ends at the foot of the Cross. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
And along the way, we are treated to a movie that almost takes its breathtaking\u00a0<\/span>splendor\u00a0for granted. \u00a0If\u00a0Commandments seems to stand up and say \u2018look how awesome this is\u2019, Ben Hur just assumes it\u2019s there. \u00a0That is, of course, until the legendary Chariot Race. One of the greatest action sequences ever filmed, or likely ever will be. \u00a0If you see nothing else, you must see the Chariot Race. \u00a0Seeing Heston\u2019s massive shoulders holding the reigns (he was able to do much of the actual heavy lifting himself during the filming), it\u2019s easy to see why he was the go to choice for this era of epics. \u00a0An era that would soon pass, but leave a legacy that few films in recent years\u00a0<\/span>have\u00a0come close to matching.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
King of Kings (Silent Version)<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Many years ago, while I was a pastor, this showed late one night before Easter Sunday. \u00a0I couldn\u2019t sleep, since Easter was always a long, busy day. \u00a0We had the sunrise service, and I had to be there around 4:30 AM to get things ready. \u00a0And as usual, I couldn\u2019t get to sleep. \u00a0So I sat up and watched a movie I found out later was the original King of Kings<\/i>, by a younger Cecil B. DeMille. \u00a0Just like his silent Ten Commandments<\/i>, this was an homage to traditional bible stories without the critical scholarship or post-modern minimalism. \u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I don\u2019t know why, but there was something about that. \u00a0It was just old Bible revival portrayals of the events. \u00a0When Jesus dies, there\u2019s an earthquake. \u00a0There\u2019s supernatural. \u00a0There\u2019s big miracles. \u00a0This is dispensing with speculation and just \u00a0showing what the Bible says happened. \u00a0The Bible says there was an earthquake. \u00a0It happened. \u00a0<\/div>\n
Something about that was strangely refreshing. \u00a0Oddly enough, that was one of those things that kindled in me a yearning for a more historic approach to the Faith than I found even in Evangelical Christianity, one that eventually brought me into communion with the Catholic Church. I say oddly, because of course the Catholic Church accepts a modern take on most of the Bible in ways that would shame all but the most liberal theologians in most Protestant seminaries. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nonetheless, if you get the chance, watch this. \u00a0Sit back and see a movie made between the first round of destruction that industrialization and post-Christian thinking brought by way of the Second World War, the Nuclear Age, and the crumbling of Western Civilization.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
It\u2019s the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

If there was ever need for evidence that Charles Schultz had lost his edge, it is this. \u00a0We watch this because there just isn\u2019t any Easter specials for kids that don\u2019t have weird monster rabbits with metal tails. \u00a0Following the course of the seasonal year, this is the fourth and last Peanuts special we watch until the Fall. And how different, and inferior, it is.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Plagued by the focus on the unfortunate character of\u00a0<\/span>Peppermint\u00a0Patty, and an equal focus on Snoopy and his\u00a0sidekick Woodstock, the special just durps about, bouncing from set up to joke and set up to joke. \u00a0Charlie Brown was almost\u00a0<\/span>incidental. A series of sight gags with a few strange, tripped out interludes.\u00a0\u00a0Some lame to be sure. \u00a0<\/span>Beethoven\u00a0plays a big part in the\u00a0<\/span>music\u00a0score, and that helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But in the end, it\u2019s a special about \u2013 nothing. \u00a0There is no Jesus, Cross, or Resurrection. \u00a0Not even close. \u00a0It\u2019s as if Schultz was trying to undo all he had done with his first two specials. \u00a0For A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/i> is the\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Citizen<\/i>\u00a0Kane<\/i><\/a> of Christmas specials<\/a>, and <\/span>It\u2019s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown<\/i> is a\u00a0wonderfully\u00a0<\/span>atmospheric\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>nostalgic\u00a0romp through all the stops of an old\u00a0<\/span>time\u00a0child\u2019s\u00a0Halloween\u00a0dreams. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving <\/i>is still OK. \u00a0At least Linus gives a nod to the pilgrims,and recites a prayer, and the theme is finally about being thankful for what we have. \u00a0And sharing time with family and friends. \u00a0But the Easter Beagle looked like an obligation. \u00a0A dashed off afterthought. \u00a0One that starts with nothing, leads to nothing, and ends with nothing. \u00a0And barely Charlie Brown.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Honorable Mention<\/b>
<\/span>
The Wizard of Oz<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

When I was a kid, there were a few yearly events around which we adjusted our annual\u00a0<\/span>calendars: Birthday,\u00a0Christmas, going to Cedar Point, and The Wizard of Oz<\/i>. \u00a0They showed it every year around Easter. \u00a0Don\u2019t know why. \u00a0But to this day, even if I see a showing of it in August or mid-January, I get feelings of spring and Easter bunnies. \u00a0 Probably the most iconic movie ever made. \u00a0It\u2019s worth mentioning just because of its awesomeness. \u00a0Someday I might unpack why I love it on so many levels. \u00a0But for now, it\u2019s worth noting that in my memories of Easter and The Wizard of Oz<\/i> will forever be linked, even if we don\u2019t always watch it at this time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
