They do use different words in each retelling of the gospel though, which depicts Jesus differently, even if only slightly. So a flick portraying him at all is always going to be slightly different to what each gospel says.
It is impossible to portray Jesus in any way that 100% lines up with what he actually did, and acted like, even the gospels are fallible in this regard.
Very openly frames itself as a mental exercise imagining Christ as more mortal than divine - specifically that he's still the savior of the world, but doesn't know about his mission entirely and has to learn about it as if he were you or me hearing about it for the first time.
Whether or not it's blasphemous comes down to if you think non-biblical depictions are ok if the author acknowledges that they're non-biblical.
sure but dabbing on christers is fun
Well the first words Jesus says is "I want God to hate me."
Blasphemy is spoken. This movie would be considered sacrilege.

It’s based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, a 20th century Greek philosopher who like Nietzsche and Lenin. He was fascinated by Buddha and Christ and wrote a lot of books on spirituality. The film opens with an acknowledgment that it’s not based on the Gospels, and has a quote of Kazantzakis on the dual nature of Christ.

It's blasphemous because it portrays Jesus as a a pathetic lunatic without any heroic or noble qualities and who's no better than every other pathetic loser and so every pathetic loser at home can watch it and feel like they're just as good as Jesus and engage in a sappy, homosexualy feel good pseudo-religion of loving people. Jesus is not just fully mortal in the movie, he's the most pathetic mortal you could imagine, a coward, lascivious, neurotic, obsessive, etc.
What a homosexualy word to use! Are you Ned Flanders? The Church Lady? You'd better steer clear of anything "the church" would look down upon. Wouldn't wanna disappoint baby jesus!
A brainlet sees the movie and take it literally as Christ failing and falling to temptation.
However it was merely a vision of what would happen if he did, so the viewer can understand his struggle (as he is both man and god for his sacrifice and resistance to sin to make sense)
So if you're a brainlet, yes the movie is blasphemous.
Its portrayal of Jesus' character goes against what's in the gospels, so I guess it is.
literally half the gospels contradict each other, is The Bible (tm) blasphemous?
Wrong
>Matthew: On X day Jesus literally said "A and B"
>John: On X day Jesus literally said "C and D"
also some gospels describe him as being more of a badass, and other describe him as more of a gentle cheek-turner.
>2000 years of explaining the same thing
>I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH
>AETHISM YASSSS
>ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED YESSSS

Zoomzooms scared of knowledge again
But you're gay for believing either have any importance. You're following fake rules that don't matter and aren't real!
Technically, yes.
Haven't seen it, but want to
I like any kino that leads people towards God
Can you give a qrd on the blasphemy?

Full man and full God, above my pay grade but doesn't seem bad surface level
I'll try and watch it this year
Praised be Jesus Christ now and forever
Well the first words Jesus says is "I want God to hate me."
It’s “the feeling begins”

>archive shows that barely anybody was posting "christ is king" on Cinemaphile prior to 2016
In spirit, reality, technicality, intention, in every possible sense, yes.
I haven't watched it but let me guess the main plot point: Jesus was a gay?
