The greatest man ever lived in the history of Man. People call him Master even though he has no servant. Some call him Teacher even though he has no degree. Some loved him Some despise him Some praised him and Some persecuted him. But no matter what, he saved our sins through his crucifixtion.
Christ's sacrifice was not merely for those who loved him. Rather his sacrifice was so that all of us might have a chance at redemption. But in order to truly be his disciples, we must live by the things he taught, as he said in the Gospel of John: "If you obey my teachings, you're truly my disciples." - John 8:31. A person, man or woman, can claim to be Christian all they want, but if they do not actually obey Christ's teachings, not just hearing/reading them but actively striving to apply those principles in their lives, then they're not genuine Christians, but merely Christian in name only. It's not just enough to claim you believe, your actions have to reflect it, as the Disciple James, who was in fact Jesus' own half-brother, later wrote: " You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone... just as the body without spirit is dead, so face without deeds is dead." - James 2:24,26. Only those who actively apply Christ's principles in their lives will be blessed for their efforts, even though they're imperfect just like everyone else, because they're giving God something to bless.
As a woman and follower of Christ, I think this will be an interesting perspective. I always thought 'If I was alive in that time, I would follow Jesus everywhere he went, listen to His every word, and love Him with all my heart'. Mary was the same way, where her love for Jesus might have looked romantic, but was more pure. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if she did fall in love with Jesus, but controlled her feelings because she knew who He was. Romantic love does not compare to the love of God. If Mary had any romantic feelings, I'm sure she fought it away to be closer to God. Yes, this movie will probably be controversial depending on which way they take it, but I'm hoping they don't try to romanticize their relationship. Jesus loved Mary just as He loved His disciples, but lets not forget that Jesus was also a man when He walked on the earth and He too had to fight against temptation. The only difference was, He won against sin and death. I'm also looking forward to seeing the perspective of women at that time, and I hope they don't antagonize Peter too much.
I cried watching this trailer. Whether or not it's historically true, it tells a certain perspective that has a deeper truth. This is not necessarily how I would have interpreted Mary Magdalene, but there is something beautiful in the vision of her that is expressive of a woman's perspective.
I love that she is the only female disciple. Her depiction in the Bible miniseries was also very accurate to the point of her constant presence and close following of Jesus.
Belinda Peng, you're the perfect toy hollywood are aiming to shape the mind, by injecting propaganda through fictional scenes not historical, this is hollywood there are here to influence the masse and make a lot of money, if you cry over a hollywood movie, then you should seek for help, Mary was a pious woman, but also a woman of her time, hollywood need to inject some women empowering crap to make people like you cry and spend 20 bucks to go watch the movie, that's how they make their money and penetrate the emotion and mind of poor souls like you
Thanking God that decent, edifying movies are being made that glorify God and give an identifiable perspective to the Word of God without distortion! Bravo! Looking forward to seeing it.
I just want to get this straight, and I’m saying this as humble as I can be right now. If you truly are a follower of Jesus, you would stop instigating fights against your fellow brothers and sisters on social media. Stop using your faith as a way to be a bully to someone who doesn’t truly understand fully. Before you do anything in life think to yourself “What would Jesus do?” Seriously, lets make this world a better place through Him our Lord and Savior. You are not perfect, so stop thinking that YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!
I agree that bullying should not take place, but Jesus would speak truth. 🤷🏾♀️ He didn’t accept sin and false teachings. He spoke against it and encouraged repentance. For those who don’t ‘fully understand’ they should read the Word for themselves and not rely on the misguided opinions of MAN on social apps. We are all responsible for our own soul salvation. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. Take up your own cross and follow Him. God bless 🙏🏾
Look, people, I'm middle eastern and my relatives are white and tanned they live in Lebanon! It doesn't matter if the actors are white, tanned, black, brown or any colour like who cares!!!!!!
MrImastinker My goodness why is this always an issue for people? They’re actors playing a role. In Shakespeare’s time men played women in roles. It’s not as big of deal as people make it out to be. Smh.
I was raised catholic. I'm not religious anymore but this trailer made me feel something inside and it made me tear up for some reason. It's sure I'm going to see it when it comes out.
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. ;)
Jesus didn't come to start a religion he wants a relationship with you and to keep you in his Kingdom with the promise of eternal life for all who believe in him read Romans 10:9
This is a great film, based on The Gospel Of Mary Magdalene, from the 2nd century, discovered in Egypt only in 1945, censored by the nascent Catholic Church in the 3rd/4th century. It is not about romantic love about Jesus and Mary Magdalene but about the importance of women in early Christianity. Indeed, in the canonical Gospels, Mary Magdalene was the first witness and believer of the resurrected Jesus
'it's a movie' for you, but for them (Hollywood, the SOCIALISTS) it's a tool to shape young people's minds. They are trying to rewrite history and to push their FEMINSM and #EGALITARIANISM agenda! it probably win 'win' an OSCAR
The Centrist Gorilla took the words out of my mouth my friend. I usually don't bother replying to these kinds of closed minded comments but you did it so well! My first thought was "for back then Jesus seemed pretty feminist".... Also coming from a fellow atheist
This isn't for Christ, its against Christ. Its sad how some Christians cant notice that this is meant to break the body down and to create controversy and mind control to the young! Hillsong is a disappointment for having given in their song, Oceans to be used in this movie. If you're a true, not lukewarm, you would see that! I've always loved hillsong, but no more.
I have many thoughts, but the only really important one is this: the Bible does not record Jesus baptizing anyone, not even his disciples. And while there's no verse I can point to and quote that tells what the exact reason was, a reasonable theory I have heard is that He didn't want anyone to use the fact that He had baptized them as something to lord over others. One thing I do appreciate about this trailer is that it mentions that Mary suffered from demon possession. This is true, according to the Bible. so often people label her as a prostitute in pop culture and she wasn't. Not that Jesus wouldn't have been kind to her if she had been, she just wasn't and pop culture often gets that wrong.
labelling MM as a prostitute comes from the same 'mix up' as the demon possession - I could explain it here, but why would I, it takes a quick google search in case you are interested.
Mary Magdalene was a ride or die Chick. She stood loyal to Jesus to his last breath. She stuck with him from when he started his mission n stood by him till his death. She watched him get sentenced to death, watched him get beaten n she was right beside Jesus Mother as Jesus walked his last walk to where they crusified him. She watch the crusifixion n saw him past away. She helped Jesus Mother clean his dead body before placing him in his tomb n she was the 1st one Jesus revealed himself too when he Resurrected. She was probably his most true n loyal follower even more than any of Jesus disciples.
I’ve been looking through the comments, and first of all, guys, everyone knows most of this story is going to be fictional. Scripture, and Tradition ( I’m Catholic) say very little in the way of detail when it comes to St. Mary Magdalene. If anyone goes to watch it they should not be angry over It not being accurate. They should go see it al almost as “holy fan fiction” lol! Go, if you want to go enjoy it as the movie it is. If you don’t want to go, then don’t, but don’t be rude to the people that want to see it. It’s just a movie guys. St. Mary Magdalene was an amazing woman from who we can learn to follow Our Lord to the end, fearlessly, and wholeheartedly. Let’s focus on that :)
I might be wrong, but she has never been sanctified. On the contrary, Mary Magdalene has always had bad reputation amongst Cristians, it's common knowledge for her to be identified as the prostitute who washed Christ's feet, but nowhere in the Gospel(s) this is mentioned. It was all a "set up" to shed a bad light on her (at least according to my professors).
Lawrence2525 Canonizations for people who lived in Biblical times never happened. Not for Moses, not for Saint Joseph, not for St. John the Baptist. These people have come down through holy tradition as saints :)
Lawrence2525 also, you know, like I said I’m Catholic so I’m not altogether certain of how Our Protestant brothers and sisters view St. Mary Magdalene, but in the Catholic Church she has always has a beautiful place. Some of the first churches and hymns were made in her honor. She was looked up to by the the very first Christians for her example of following the Lord all the way to the cross.
The books that the movies are made from aren’t always perfectly depicted - everyone knows that who has read a book then gone to seen the movie made from it. Just go and enjoy it for what it is. I’m just thrilled that they took on this enormous challenge and can’t wait to see it! We need more good stories in our world right now❤️
Wow, you people have no clue what this is about. This is about forgiveness, compassion, and redemption. I like how this humanizes Christ. He might have been "Son of God" to those that believe, but he was in a human body. He showed more humanness, more than any body. You people who think this is heresy... you really think your interpretation of events from TWO THOUSAND YEARS ago are correct? You think the Bible is a legitimately accurate history? This is as much of a story as the bible is itself. It is to show example of humanness and to entertain, not record history accurately. I like this portrait of Jesus. Most other pictures before show this super serious, almost morbid, version. This is more likely how he was, good natured and compassionate. And by the way, I'm an atheist. However, I do acknowledge he existed and any story that shows compassion and forgiveness is one worth watching, regardless of religious beliefs. Remove yourself from the dogma and take from it what you can.
Yes, thank you. I'm a Lutheran through and through and anybody who denies Jesus was a human with human emotions and any aspect that makes a human human misses the point of why God gave his son to the Earth in the first place. It wasn't to prove how his son was superior or this magical creature, it was to sacrifice himself THROUGH his son AS one of us to save every other human. That's the biggest aspect of the New Testament that everybody loves to gloss over. Doubly so when it comes to Mary Mags.
Im no atheist but I agree with you. Jesus came with us to show us how to be compassionate and good natured. I think he smiles down (or even laugh) at us who's pretending to know everything and define everything with a human mind. This version is utterly agreeable and interesting.
The problem with that is the bible even highlighted how much the two meant to each other. They might not make it a fully romantic relationship, but I don't doubt that they're gonna add in some sort of romance between the two.
Well I don’t doubt they meant a lot to one another. His disciples mattered so much to Him and He mattered very much to them. Whenever I’ve read the scriptures I see reverent relationship that Mary had for Jesus and a desire to follow Him. She of course becomes a witness of proof of His resurrection. I just think a romantic relationship even a slight one, wouldn’t stay true to the scriptures. That’s all I’m saying.
Erfenburgurz Biblical incorrect. Lol That's kinda funny considering how much was changed, omitted or just plain misunderstood over the years and countless revisions.
*I really enjoyed this movie. IMO this in no way showed heresy or false doctrine. There IS a Gospel of Mary Magdalene removed from the Bible during The Council of Nicea, She was cleared of her rumored reputation by the Catholic Church and was only labeled as a prostitute by a Pope like 500 years ago so that women couldn't have a high position in the church. This movie was about Love Compassion and Faith and Joaquin Phoenix did an AMAZING job portraying Jesus.*
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. ;)
This makes me so wish my brain injury didn't keep me from going to the movies. It looks beautiful and real. It's about time we see the life of Jesus and his followers from different perspectives and that women from that time have a voice.
To all the people saying black people are just complaining about this historically inaccurate film and that they should get to work and create something for themselves... If you actually knew the history as to why there aren't more people of color in movies and how they were purposely and systematically marginalized despite their constant efforts to be in the place of these famous actors writers and directors, then you would understand why people complain about this ridiculously historically inaccurate film. But you aren't educated enough to actually look into the history of it. The concept that someone would actually accept the idea that black people are 'just lazy' and never tried at all to achieve what white people have today despite all of the factual evidence of their systematic oppression is so incredibly idiotic.
I watched it last Saturday and it really wows me finally the correct and true account of Mary Magdalene the most mention woman of the Bible, the most important to Jesus. I love the movie the Passion of Christ but the only false that Mel put in his movie is that he used the same actress that played Mary Magdalene to play the sinner that the Priests brought to Jesus but in the Bible that sinner is an unnamed woman. I give this movie 10 out of 10 and will watch it again in Easter weekend...
Jerry I'm a Christian it waz just a joke cuz just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I can't live, I like comic books so when the Avengers infinity wars trailer came out I saw that first alot of people did...people take things way to serious
She's always been shrouded in mystery Mary Magdelene - finally a film on her. Certainly it doesn't seem like an entertainer or as moving as Mel Gibson's but seems like it has more realism for sure
Everyone is hating because of a potential relationship between Mary and Jesus but the reason I'm not gonna see this film is because The Weinstein Company is involved in it and I'm not gonna support anything that has to do with Harvey Weinstein.
Yeah right! Too late... You've already watched many movies by the Weinstein company and you are going to watch this as well. That is the the truth. You're here. You posted a comment. You're going to watch this move. End of story.
I am no born again christian, just deeply moved. Historically accurate or not (we will never know) the message of love and compassion shined through and the mental, misunderstandings of the human mind. I loved it and I love that Jesus was no pretty boy :)
Perfect movie, and it is better than 'Passion of the Christ'. In 'Passion' there is much blood, cruelty and hatred. 'Mary Magdalene' is about Love and forgiveness. And Rooney Mara is a perfect actress.
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. ❤
Stephen Murphy yea Jesus believed women were equals there's a lot of evidence to support that but people ignore it because they want to keep women down
do you realise this is a hollywood movie, it's all based on a specific agenda, they are not about telling her story but rather making sure the whole movie suit their agenda, don't be so naïve when you go watch the movie, they already know a lot of people are interested and were waitting for a movie on her, so they use it as a commercial weapon to make you ingest what they want you to ingest, through subtil propaganda, and fictional scenes not historical, hollywood is primely about spreading propaganda and making a lot of money , nothing more
What is this truth you speak of Viviane? Honeyed words from the Mouth of a Liar, whose very house was built on blood and suffering.. Passed down from Generation to Generation. THAT is The Legacy that Peter Chose to give The People. Empty Wind.
WOW! This will be Awesome! If it shows how the common culture of Jesus' time considered women to be the property of their husbands we will see how far we have come, even though we still have a way to go, to respect women :) Not to mention how Mary Magdalene had a much deeper/intuitive understanding of what Jesus was teaching than the men ;)
Jenn H well he is the God. He couldn't feel any romantic feelings for her, she was his sister for Gods'sake. Haven't you read the Bible?! if not do not comment on things you don't know about. Any man or woman are his brother and sister. There. We are sure.
venomusdrake 288 if you’d READ my comment you would have seen that I never once stated they had a romantic relationship. A relationship doesn’t always have to be romantic but this was freakin Jesus you don’t just have a “wassup dude how’s it going” friendship. They must’ve had something more spiritual. Also, I don’t trust the bible word for word on how events played out. History gets written by the winners and therefore not a wide range of views. Keep in mind that woman were treated as if they had no voice, so yes, I’m interested in how this movie portrays HER version of events. If you aren’t willing to see many points of view and shape your ideas around it go ahead and stick to one source and one only, the bible.
Jenn H First of all, if you don't belive in Bible as whole then you my friend have no point on writting down this comment. Do they have any actual evidence that Mary exsisted? No. Therefore it is all in Bible, so if you don't belive in it completely what the heck are you writting this down. Your "point of view " can't exsist without logic that you're missing. Of course it was spiritual but remeber God is our Father and Only true friend, so again, you can say to him "hello my friend "in a meaning much deeper.
venomusdrake 288 I grew up around the bible with a devoted family. This doesn’t mean I’m not going to ask questions. You’re right that I don’t believe the bible as a whole but that doesn’t mean I don’t agree with some parts and therefore shouldn’t have any opinion on the matter. You say there is no evidence Mary even existed but that can go for several events in the bible. You praise it and yet you go back on your own beliefs by stating you need evidence to believe? I’m just trying to understand why some people seem SO sure they know EXACTLY how events played out, at least enough to know Mary couldn’t have had a relationship with Jesus.
Jenn H you are not getting what i said. I belive in Bible completely, ok.That means i belive everything that it's said in the Bible. You however, commented yourself that how can we be sure and i answered you. You said you don't belive in some parts of Bible and i told you why we are sure that they had relationship ( bexause it's written in Bible, also many saints after explain the whole secret behind God and His relationship with humans and followers. ) Now you question yourself, i have said that for this ( Mary exsisting and her relationship with God, Jesus )there are no evidence except what's written in Bible. Therefore you can only be sure if you belive, you even questioning in other ways than that is stupid. As i said you don't have any evidence that mary exsisted in real life except Bible, so if you don't belive in Bible completely but you doubt about things that don't exsist in real life ( sugesting by evidence) is just illogical.
This is not based upon accuracy of Scripture! Just one example is the fact that Jesus never Baptised anyone and yet in this film he supposedly baptises Mary in water. It’s just someone’s attempt to make $$$$$$ by making a controversial film
Do we have to take as gospel what a few Illiterate fishermen wrote 2 millennia ago, and was translated and reinterpreted hundreds upon hundreds of times each with an agenda? As a Christian, I take the bible as an embellished reference on how to be a good person. And I think if more people followed it in that way, the world would be a better place. I think the general gist of it, is to be humble, even if you're a god, teach your followers through example how to live, live, eat, and laugh with them, until like any being who has ever preached love in this bitter world, someone ends up screwing you and you die. It's more of a tale about human nature that we have never learned to interpret or use.
@@zabaoth yeah,jesus was also human,and not only pure God,and even though i would hate it if the movie portrayed something sexual from mary and jesus,i think they're just gonna show how much they meant to each other,plus,the bible has probably been changed many times, a lot of the people here say that with the use of these movies, they are trying to change how young people view god,but,even if that is true,that means that people would have tried to change it thousands of times since the bible was written thousands of years ago ,in my point of view,Jesus loves everyone,and the bible is supposed to teach us how to be a good person and lead others to the kingdom of god,its not about being homophobic or disrespecting other religions or using our religion to rule upon others
It started playing in cinemas in UK yesterday (3-16-2018); it should be in the grande ole' USA _soon_ as I am seeing its unscheduled listings at AMC and Regal Cinemas. If you see a schedule, then please update us on this comment board.
The issue is that there was no romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Jesus said that anyone who "looks on a woman with lust in his heart" (Matthew 5:28), has SINNED! The Word states that Jesus "knew no sin" (2 Corinthians 5:21), so to say that He had ANY sort of romantic attraction to Mary is Biblically false and blasphemous.
In that passage, “lust” is synonymous with “covet”- meaning desiring to have them as yours. We all belong to God. Your comment explains so aptly why so many followers of abrahamic religions are scared of sexuality and sex, believing it’s sinful and wrong. Romantic love is one of the most beautiful experiences that we can have as humans. Why would you deny Jesus that joy? Scared of “sinning”? As in loving someone beyond belief is suddenly a sin now? Dear god.
@@zain4019 None of us "belong" to God in a sexual way. His love for us (Agape) is meant to express His deep desire that ALL would come to repentance and that none should perish. You're referring to a different form of love (Eros) that is never used when talking about how God loves His people or how Christ loved anyone he interacted with, including, but not limited to, Mary Magdalene. Sex is BEAUTIFUL and God created the institution that would allow it (marriage between a man and woman). No one is "scared" of sex. Many people have sought to pervert that institution from the very beginning of time and this latest abominable iteration of Jesus Christ's relationship with one of His followers is no exception.
@@joshuasmith9312 You're an utter idiot. Thinking you know what people 2000 years ago were thinking and feeling. You CHOOSE to believe in an old book, written by MEN. Beyond a joke.
Jesus Christ healed me! This is my story about my healing! I was extremely ill !! I had diabetes and kidney failure, which urgently requires dialysis! I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!
She had a close relationship to Jesus as a Follower and her love for him was as his mother loved him. She and his mother were the first to go to the tomb and find it missing. It should not be controversial if done right! It looks good and hopefully they keep it the way it should be.
Is this movie based on the historical sources or the biblical sources? Is this only biblical or does it include speculation like the marriage of the 2 people? I would be interested to know. I am a huge fan of The Da Vinci Code. Also, I am not a darn Christian. I am a Hindu.
Another blasphemous Jesus film but oh wait there's a twist of feminism. This is exactly what the Bible says, "They listen (or watch) what their itching ears want to hear". Mary wasn't endorsing feminism at the time of Jesus nor was there ever a problem with women being baptized in the Bible. Dear viewer, in case you watch the film, make sure that you see what is truth and what is not. The director is mostly likely not a Christian and is portraying Mary Magdalene through his own view and his view is not the truth. The truth is in the Bible. Don't fall for the lie or the emotional message that comes with it. God bless.
Excuuuuuse me, but Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene first to proclaim his message after his death and resurrection seems pretty feminist to me. But what do I know... (sips tea)
Rooney is so amazing as an Actress. Isn't amazing how she and Chitiwel Ejiofor are linked to each other through Sarah Paulson. Rooney worked with her in Carol, and Chitiwel worked with her in 12 Years A Slave. Joaquin Phoenix is the brother of the Late River Phoenix who worked in Stand By Me, that had Kiefer Sutherland (Son of Donald Sutherland) who worked in A Time To Kill with Samuel L. Jackson who worked with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and let's not forget that Sandra Bullock worked on A Time To Kill as well with Cate Blanchett so there's the link.
Great movie. I love this fairy tale very much. Perfect cast. Pity I was not present at the time of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, so I could answer to those angry replies. No one saw what colour of the skin Jesus or Mary had, no one saw who wrote the Bible, no one saw what really happened then. But people are very angry and quick to judge. This work is not a documentary, this is a Fiction about Love, Forgiveness, and Mercy.
I feel so connected to her. My name comes from her's (Madeline-Magdalene) and my birthday, according to the Catholic church, is her saint day. She was so important in history and to Christianity and Christ himself, and yet her name is linked to the whore. It never stated that that was her, yet people assume. She was the representative, the female disciple, and the true one to lead Jesus' followers for him, except she was a woman. In those days and that culture, women were never seen equal. But Jesus saw something in her. Something that is finally as close as we can, show on screens for the entire world to see.
The problem with any story about Jesus is that it's not really spoiling if it's already been done to death (bad choice of words I'm sorry) and if you're the kind of person who'd watch the film you already know the story.
I assume you are joking, since we all know how the film will end. Bur for a chance it will be told from Mary Magdalene's perspective, and Jesus' mother is not an 18 to 30 year old. That's progress.
A fabulous film, saw it at a special wide screen max cinema some years back. The underwater scenes are magnificent on a big screen, you feel as if you are there. Wonderful actors
Cause you business genius it's an american movie and the american movie industry has white or afroamericans actors for the 95 %. of its total. No stars in the american movie industries are from Palestine. Do you think America can do movie with palestinian people cause a movie is set there. LOLZ. Sure. They should waste million dollars for making happy annoying people like you that don't know nothing about business and art?
Jesus was a man, people seem to forget. Regardless what was written, what is actually in the Bible, all his followers including Mary were witnesses, but yet her voice, her story has been left out. Like countless others who have followed him. What is the Vatican hiding? There is more to the story then what we are told. The bible was created by man, put together by man, scripture picked and put together to form a book THEY wanted, the stories THEY wanted humanity to read and know. Humans really need to think about how the Bible was created, and the true purpose of it. People say its the word of God, but its a book created by man.
PJ Reactions ahahhahaha do you realise that you just said that the Bible was written by men?! Well if it was as you said, then Mary could be just somebodys' imagination. Which she is not, if you are educated enaugh, you would know this. Of course Jesus was human, but by any acts he was GOD and still IS. In Bible it's written that he was human by the looks but there was no Sin in Him. Also He Himself said that any man or woman is His brother or sister.
venomusdrake 288 actually I am educated and former youth minister who did study the biblical text of the word. I’m referring to 300 AD during the days of emperor Constantine. When the formation of the Bible was being established.
Joy Maheno yes that's true but she went into the history as prostitute or adulterer and I think she was neither of those.I believe that she played significant role in creating of church but we will never find out who she really was and what exactly she did and that's also because Catholic Church saw to that.

The greatest man ever lived in the history of Man.
People call him Master even though he has no servant. Some call him Teacher even though he has no degree.
Some loved him
Some despise him
Some praised him and
Some persecuted him.
But no matter what, he saved our sins through his crucifixtion.
Amen 🙏

Christ's sacrifice was not merely for those who loved him. Rather his sacrifice was so that all of us might have a chance at redemption.
But in order to truly be his disciples, we must live by the things he taught, as he said in the Gospel of John:
"If you obey my teachings, you're truly my disciples." - John 8:31.
A person, man or woman, can claim to be Christian all they want, but if they do not actually obey Christ's teachings, not just hearing/reading them but actively striving to apply those principles in their lives, then they're not genuine Christians, but merely Christian in name only.
It's not just enough to claim you believe, your actions have to reflect it, as the Disciple James, who was in fact Jesus' own half-brother, later wrote:
" You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone... just as the body without spirit is dead, so face without deeds is dead." - James 2:24,26.
Only those who actively apply Christ's principles in their lives will be blessed for their efforts, even though they're imperfect just like everyone else, because they're giving God something to bless.
As a woman and follower of Christ, I think this will be an interesting perspective. I always thought 'If I was alive in that time, I would follow Jesus everywhere he went, listen to His every word, and love Him with all my heart'. Mary was the same way, where her love for Jesus might have looked romantic, but was more pure. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if she did fall in love with Jesus, but controlled her feelings because she knew who He was. Romantic love does not compare to the love of God. If Mary had any romantic feelings, I'm sure she fought it away to be closer to God. Yes, this movie will probably be controversial depending on which way they take it, but I'm hoping they don't try to romanticize their relationship. Jesus loved Mary just as He loved His disciples, but lets not forget that Jesus was also a man when He walked on the earth and He too had to fight against temptation. The only difference was, He won against sin and death.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the perspective of women at that time, and I hope they don't antagonize Peter too much.
Erika M Well that's how Christianity was formed, it was a cult.
I like this perspective !!
Erika M Wow! You've spoken my words. Thank you!
Thanks guys, I appreciate the support! :)

I cried watching this trailer. Whether or not it's historically true, it tells a certain perspective that has a deeper truth. This is not necessarily how I would have interpreted Mary Magdalene, but there is something beautiful in the vision of her that is expressive of a woman's perspective.
I love that she is the only female disciple. Her depiction in the Bible miniseries was also very accurate to the point of her constant presence and close following of Jesus.
How do you know she's a prostitute? It's never explicit. People only assume, whether or not such a thing is implied.
Belinda Peng, you're the perfect toy hollywood are aiming to shape the mind, by injecting propaganda through fictional scenes not historical, this is hollywood there are here to influence the masse and make a lot of money, if you cry over a hollywood movie, then you should seek for help, Mary was a pious woman, but also a woman of her time, hollywood need to inject some women empowering crap to make people like you cry and spend 20 bucks to go watch the movie, that's how they make their money and penetrate the emotion and mind of poor souls like you
Belinda Peng try watching passion of the Christ 💔
@@cardett75 it's funny because you're a black piller talking about propoganda, when you've ate the biggest one
Thanking God that decent, edifying movies are being made that glorify God and give an identifiable perspective to the Word of God without distortion! Bravo! Looking forward to seeing it.
"I will not be silent." POWERFUL.
Yes to this film, and thank God for Rooney Mara!😭
I just want to get this straight, and I’m saying this as humble as I can be right now. If you truly are a follower of Jesus, you would stop instigating fights against your fellow brothers and sisters on social media. Stop using your faith as a way to be a bully to someone who doesn’t truly understand fully. Before you do anything in life think to yourself “What would Jesus do?” Seriously, lets make this world a better place through Him our Lord and Savior. You are not perfect, so stop thinking that YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!
Perfectly said 👆🏻👍🏼👍🏼
I agree that bullying should not take place, but Jesus would speak truth. 🤷🏾♀️ He didn’t accept sin and false teachings. He spoke against it and encouraged repentance. For those who don’t ‘fully understand’ they should read the Word for themselves and not rely on the misguided opinions of MAN on social apps. We are all responsible for our own soul salvation. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. Take up your own cross and follow Him. God bless 🙏🏾
Look, people, I'm middle eastern and my relatives are white and tanned they live in Lebanon! It doesn't matter if the actors are white, tanned, black, brown or any colour like who cares!!!!!!
Pirate Wizard it matters
@@brandonwright6578 not really
Because there is truth in the telling.
God looks at the HEART
Pretty sure that at the time they lived, Jesus and his followers weren’t a bunch of white folks.
Olive or brown-skinned, most likely.
MrImastinker My goodness why is this always an issue for people? They’re actors playing a role. In Shakespeare’s time men played women in roles. It’s not as big of deal as people make it out to be. Smh.
White people do the same when it is a role they think should be played by a white person. But when it is the other way around.....no problems.
MrImastinker Hhhhh
Amen
Ugh!
I was raised catholic. I'm not religious anymore but this trailer made me feel something inside and it made me tear up for some reason. It's sure I'm going to see it when it comes out.
why are you not religious anymore?
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. ;)
Jesus didn't come to start a religion he wants a relationship with you and to keep you in his Kingdom with the promise of eternal life for all who believe in him read Romans 10:9
Same.
In my point of view, Mr Phoenix deserves an Oscar.
wish granted.
This is a great film, based on The Gospel Of Mary Magdalene, from the 2nd century, discovered in Egypt only in 1945, censored by the nascent Catholic Church in the 3rd/4th century. It is not about romantic love about Jesus and Mary Magdalene but about the importance of women in early Christianity. Indeed, in the canonical Gospels, Mary Magdalene was the first witness and believer of the resurrected Jesus
Rooney Mara's face looks so innocent. I think this is a perfect role for her. I'm hoping she'd get another nomination for this.
The Christians gettin' upset and quotin' their asses off.
The atheists sayin' their things.
And me over here just excited for this good lookin' movie.
Omg, the comments are ridiculous .... Everyone calm the eff down, it's a MOVIE for Christ's sa--- oh.
'it's a movie' for you, but for them (Hollywood, the SOCIALISTS) it's a tool to shape young people's minds. They are trying to rewrite history and to push their FEMINSM and #EGALITARIANISM agenda! it probably win 'win' an OSCAR
The Centrist Gorilla took the words out of my mouth my friend. I usually don't bother replying to these kinds of closed minded comments but you did it so well! My first thought was "for back then Jesus seemed pretty feminist".... Also coming from a fellow atheist
This isn't for Christ, its against Christ. Its sad how some Christians cant notice that this is meant to break the body down and to create controversy and mind control to the young! Hillsong is a disappointment for having given in their song, Oceans to be used in this movie. If you're a true, not lukewarm, you would see that! I've always loved hillsong, but no more.
Thank you feel the same
James Huffmar
Aw, does women and men being treated without prejudice scare you? I’m sure the Middle Ages would love your hate.
I have many thoughts, but the only really important one is this: the Bible does not record Jesus baptizing anyone, not even his disciples. And while there's no verse I can point to and quote that tells what the exact reason was, a reasonable theory I have heard is that He didn't want anyone to use the fact that He had baptized them as something to lord over others. One thing I do appreciate about this trailer is that it mentions that Mary suffered from demon possession. This is true, according to the Bible. so often people label her as a prostitute in pop culture and she wasn't. Not that Jesus wouldn't have been kind to her if she had been, she just wasn't and pop culture often gets that wrong.
labelling MM as a prostitute comes from the same 'mix up' as the demon possession - I could explain it here, but why would I, it takes a quick google search in case you are interested.
she wasn't a prostitute but she was betraying her husband I think
The Bible records Jesus baptizing John the Baptist.
poppyseed1987 amen.

Came for Joaquin, stayed for Rooney. I love the Mara sisters
Mary Magdalene was a ride or die Chick. She stood loyal to Jesus to his last breath. She stuck with him from when he started his mission n stood by him till his death. She watched him get sentenced to death, watched him get beaten n she was right beside Jesus Mother as Jesus walked his last walk to where they crusified him. She watch the crusifixion n saw him past away. She helped Jesus Mother clean his dead body before placing him in his tomb n she was the 1st one Jesus revealed himself too when he Resurrected. She was probably his most true n loyal follower even more than any of Jesus disciples.
If your loyalty assertions are correct, then why didn't Jesus leave her the keys to the kingdom so to speak instead of bestowing the honor upon Peter?
Why didn't I ever hear of that Mary Magdalena before? I mean where in the Bible is she mentioned? Is she mentioned?
@@invinsible Facts my dude. Look it at up Luke ( 8:1-3 ) in the bible
@@invinsible or just watch Bible miniseries Jesus story here on youtube
@@michaelbeaule1966 Idk Breh Im not a Huge Church Goer like that. I'm just stating my opinion on the stuff I've read, learned, heard n watched
I’ve been looking through the comments, and first of all, guys, everyone knows most of this story is going to be fictional. Scripture, and Tradition ( I’m Catholic) say very little in the way of detail when it comes to St. Mary Magdalene. If anyone goes to watch it they should not be angry over It not being accurate. They should go see it al almost as “holy fan fiction” lol! Go, if you want to go enjoy it as the movie it is. If you don’t want to go, then don’t, but don’t be rude to the people that want to see it. It’s just a movie guys. St. Mary Magdalene was an amazing woman from who we can learn to follow Our Lord to the end, fearlessly, and wholeheartedly. Let’s focus on that :)
I might be wrong, but she has never been sanctified. On the contrary, Mary Magdalene has always had bad reputation amongst Cristians, it's common knowledge for her to be identified as the prostitute who washed Christ's feet, but nowhere in the Gospel(s) this is mentioned. It was all a "set up" to shed a bad light on her (at least according to my professors).
Lawrence2525 Canonizations for people who lived in Biblical times never happened. Not for Moses, not for Saint Joseph, not for St. John the Baptist. These people have come down through holy tradition as saints :)
Lawrence2525 also, you know, like I said I’m Catholic so I’m not altogether certain of how Our Protestant brothers and sisters view St. Mary Magdalene, but in the Catholic Church she has always has a beautiful place. Some of the first churches and hymns were made in her honor. She was looked up to by the the very first Christians for her example of following the Lord all the way to the cross.
movies are magic spells and this movie will put the wrong idea about Jesus in their minds
Even the words in the bible could be pure fiction! After all - it was written by man.
The books that the movies are made from aren’t always perfectly depicted - everyone knows that who has read a book then gone to seen the movie made from it. Just go and enjoy it for what it is. I’m just thrilled that they took on this enormous challenge and can’t wait to see it! We need more good stories in our world right now❤️
This is a truly beautiful film with wonderful performances! So underrated!
It's looks so good, but I have a feeling this is going to very controversial!
No controversy in my opinion. its just biblically incorrect
And terribly casted. JP as JC? EWWWWWW!
controversy perhaps but no violence im sure.also this trailer has actually made me love the characters more
*Everything* is controversial.
Erfenburgurz Yes, just like Noah and Exodus: Gods and Kings!
I just want another Millenium movie from David Fincher with her, and Daniel Craig..
endlessrainstorms oooh, yeah! Me too😍
I've cried already in the "There are no demons here" scene. Can't look foward to watch it. Love is all we need.
joaquin! and the line "to lose him" shivers!
People are saying how this movie is going to be controversial and all that, but either way it looks like a beautiful movie no matter what.
Seeing this story from this angle could really be a blast ! Unfortunatly, It will be controversial, that s for sure.
Yea stuff about Mary maderlin always are can't have people thinking Jesus believed in gender equality
Jesus was controversial..... so that’s fitting. 👍🏾
Jacob Denness don’t be deceived by this movie bro look up a UA-cam the Vigilant Christian has a vid on this
Marc gz ok I'll take a look
No controversy here, just Biblical incorrectness
Wow, you people have no clue what this is about. This is about forgiveness, compassion, and redemption.
I like how this humanizes Christ. He might have been "Son of God" to those that believe, but he was in a human body. He showed more humanness, more than any body. You people who think this is heresy... you really think your interpretation of events from TWO THOUSAND YEARS ago are correct? You think the Bible is a legitimately accurate history? This is as much of a story as the bible is itself. It is to show example of humanness and to entertain, not record history accurately. I like this portrait of Jesus. Most other pictures before show this super serious, almost morbid, version. This is more likely how he was, good natured and compassionate.
And by the way, I'm an atheist. However, I do acknowledge he existed and any story that shows compassion and forgiveness is one worth watching, regardless of religious beliefs. Remove yourself from the dogma and take from it what you can.
Yes, thank you. I'm a Lutheran through and through and anybody who denies Jesus was a human with human emotions and any aspect that makes a human human misses the point of why God gave his son to the Earth in the first place. It wasn't to prove how his son was superior or this magical creature, it was to sacrifice himself THROUGH his son AS one of us to save every other human. That's the biggest aspect of the New Testament that everybody loves to gloss over. Doubly so when it comes to Mary Mags.
Im no atheist but I agree with you. Jesus came with us to show us how to be compassionate and good natured. I think he smiles down (or even laugh) at us who's pretending to know everything and define everything with a human mind.
This version is utterly agreeable and interesting.
You are decieved. Jesus IS LORD And he never never never ever ever sinned.
Jesus is Lord who said here that Jesus is not Lord and that he sinned?
Because people are sin when they have sexual desire in their mind.. Jesus does not have sexual desire in any form in the Bible
Just watched the movie.And it touched my soul❤
From where i can download that movie
I’m really not sure about this one. As long as we don’t see a romantic relationship between Christ and Mary, this film might be interesting.
The problem with that is the bible even highlighted how much the two meant to each other. They might not make it a fully romantic relationship, but I don't doubt that they're gonna add in some sort of romance between the two.
Well I don’t doubt they meant a lot to one another. His disciples mattered so much to Him and He mattered very much to them. Whenever I’ve read the scriptures I see reverent relationship that Mary had for Jesus and a desire to follow Him. She of course becomes a witness of proof of His resurrection.
I just think a romantic relationship even a slight one, wouldn’t stay true to the scriptures. That’s all I’m saying.
I 100% agree to that Sean
I agree. this movie is biblically incorrect
Erfenburgurz Biblical incorrect. Lol
That's kinda funny considering how much was changed, omitted or just plain misunderstood over the years and countless revisions.
Is someone here because of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker?
piero7591 We used to think his life was a tragedy, now we know it’s a comedy
Absolutely not, didn't even know he played Jesus, I'm here purely for Rooney Mara's portrayal of Mary.
I dont know that was him through end movie
✋
*I really enjoyed this movie. IMO this in no way showed heresy or false doctrine. There IS a Gospel of Mary Magdalene removed from the Bible during The Council of Nicea, She was cleared of her rumored reputation by the Catholic Church and was only labeled as a prostitute by a Pope like 500 years ago so that women couldn't have a high position in the church. This movie was about Love Compassion and Faith and Joaquin Phoenix did an AMAZING job portraying Jesus.*
Isnt the Catholic Church the only denomination that recognizes Mary as a Disciple though?
I enjoyed watching this wonderful movie. Great cast, talented writers.
Were do you get it..
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. ;)
This makes me so wish my brain injury didn't keep me from going to the movies. It looks beautiful and real. It's about time we see the life of Jesus and his followers from different perspectives and that women from that time have a voice.
To all the people saying black people are just complaining about this historically inaccurate film and that they should get to work and create something for themselves...
If you actually knew the history as to why there aren't more people of color in movies and how they were purposely and systematically marginalized despite their constant efforts to be in the place of these famous actors writers and directors, then you would understand why people complain about this ridiculously historically inaccurate film. But you aren't educated enough to actually look into the history of it. The concept that someone would actually accept the idea that black people are 'just lazy' and never tried at all to achieve what white people have today despite all of the factual evidence of their systematic oppression is so incredibly idiotic.
One of the most touching movie I have ever seen.. unlimited love of Jesus
I watched it last Saturday and it really wows me finally the correct and true account of Mary Magdalene the most mention woman of the Bible, the most important to Jesus. I love the movie the Passion of Christ but the only false that Mel put in his movie is that he used the same actress that played Mary Magdalene to play the sinner that the Priests brought to Jesus but in the Bible that sinner is an unnamed woman. I give this movie 10 out of 10 and will watch it again in Easter weekend...
Y'all dropped this on the wrong day lol, everyone watching the Avengers Infinity War trailer 😅
😂😂😂 Nice one
Shame on you man
Abdul Khan why must he feel ashamed?
It's not likely that they will have the same audience lol
Jerry I'm a Christian it waz just a joke cuz just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I can't live, I like comic books so when the Avengers infinity wars trailer came out I saw that first alot of people did...people take things way to serious
She's always been shrouded in mystery Mary Magdelene - finally a film on her. Certainly it doesn't seem like an entertainer or as moving as Mel Gibson's but seems like it has more realism for sure
Rooney Mara & Joaquin Phoenix my favorite couple of hollywood ♥
Are they together..?
Meranie Let me make something clear Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene we’re not a couple.
But Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are - in real life.
Yep.
I'm crying. I didn't realize how deeply I needed this.
Everyone is hating because of a potential relationship between Mary and Jesus but the reason I'm not gonna see this film is because The Weinstein Company is involved in it and I'm not gonna support anything that has to do with Harvey Weinstein.
Also avoid corporate stores that use slave labor while your at it! ;)
Are u sure they are still involved..?
I thought harvey weinstein got fired from his own company?
Yeah right! Too late... You've already watched many movies by the Weinstein company and you are going to watch this as well. That is the the truth. You're here. You posted a comment. You're going to watch this move. End of story.
Hello, I come from the future, the US release was delayed a year just not to be involved with them.
I am no born again christian, just deeply moved. Historically accurate or not (we will never know) the message of love and compassion shined through and the mental, misunderstandings of the human mind. I loved it and I love that Jesus was no pretty boy :)
The intro violin music SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE OCEANS BY HILLSONG
It is ocean
💭💭💭 *goes to replay*
Good movie and Mara really did fine work. Getting to see so much through Mary's eyes was great way to tell this great story
As a Gnostic, I am ALL FOR THIS.
Perfect movie, and it is better than 'Passion of the Christ'. In 'Passion' there is much blood, cruelty and hatred. 'Mary Magdalene' is about Love and forgiveness. And Rooney Mara is a perfect actress.
God bless you.
Jesus is our LORD & SAVIOR!
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. ❤
I always thought this was the kind of person she actually was makes a lot of sense to me Mary is someone who gets a bad rap
Jacob Denness mary has a good reputation in all religions who cares about ur opinion except the devil maybe 🤣
Ghufran ghufran good to hear thank you
Jacob Denness any time hhh
Stephen Murphy I'd agree with most of that I just think it's not just chofolics
Stephen Murphy yea Jesus believed women were equals there's a lot of evidence to support that but people ignore it because they want to keep women down
Her story always interested me.
Brandon Huval but this movie doesnt even tell the truth.
Every story ever told does not tell the whole true. Does not mean we can not find the truth we need.
do you realise this is a hollywood movie, it's all based on a specific agenda, they are not about telling her story but rather making sure the whole movie suit their agenda, don't be so naïve when you go watch the movie, they already know a lot of people are interested and were waitting for a movie on her, so they use it as a commercial weapon to make you ingest what they want you to ingest, through subtil propaganda, and fictional scenes not historical, hollywood is primely about spreading propaganda and making a lot of money , nothing more
I do not care either way.
What is this truth you speak of Viviane? Honeyed words from the Mouth of a Liar, whose very house was built on blood and suffering.. Passed down from Generation to Generation. THAT is The Legacy that Peter Chose to give The People. Empty Wind.
Casting Chiwetel as Peter was a master stroke!
People asking why Jesus is white, my question is why is Peter black?
I didn't know that both Phoenix and Rooney were in the same 2 movies, Her and Mary Magdalene. Interesting! Now I can't wait to find it on Redbox.
WOW! This will be Awesome! If it shows how the common culture of Jesus' time considered women to be the property of their husbands we will see how far we have come, even though we still have a way to go, to respect women :) Not to mention how Mary Magdalene had a much deeper/intuitive understanding of what Jesus was teaching than the men ;)
0:55 - very powerful dialogue. High 5 who loved it too!!
Everyone in the comments is SO sure Jesus and Mary Magdalene had no type of relationship. Its pretty funny. I’ve always been interested in her story.
Jenn H well he is the God. He couldn't feel any romantic feelings for her, she was his sister for Gods'sake. Haven't you read the Bible?! if not do not comment on things you don't know about. Any man or woman are his brother and sister. There. We are sure.
venomusdrake 288 if you’d READ my comment you would have seen that I never once stated they had a romantic relationship. A relationship doesn’t always have to be romantic but this was freakin Jesus you don’t just have a “wassup dude how’s it going” friendship. They must’ve had something more spiritual. Also, I don’t trust the bible word for word on how events played out. History gets written by the winners and therefore not a wide range of views. Keep in mind that woman were treated as if they had no voice, so yes, I’m interested in how this movie portrays HER version of events. If you aren’t willing to see many points of view and shape your ideas around it go ahead and stick to one source and one only, the bible.
Jenn H First of all, if you don't belive in Bible as whole then you my friend have no point on writting down this comment. Do they have any actual evidence that Mary exsisted? No. Therefore it is all in Bible, so if you don't belive in it completely what the heck are you writting this down. Your "point of view " can't exsist without logic that you're missing. Of course it was spiritual but remeber God is our Father and Only true friend, so again, you can say to him "hello my friend "in a meaning much deeper.
venomusdrake 288 I grew up around the bible with a devoted family. This doesn’t mean I’m not going to ask questions. You’re right that I don’t believe the bible as a whole but that doesn’t mean I don’t agree with some parts and therefore shouldn’t have any opinion on the matter. You say there is no evidence Mary even existed but that can go for several events in the bible. You praise it and yet you go back on your own beliefs by stating you need evidence to believe? I’m just trying to understand why some people seem SO sure they know EXACTLY how events played out, at least enough to know Mary couldn’t have had a relationship with Jesus.
Jenn H you are not getting what i said. I belive in Bible completely, ok.That means i belive everything that it's said in the Bible. You however, commented yourself that how can we be sure and i answered you. You said you don't belive in some parts of Bible and i told you why we are sure that they had relationship ( bexause it's written in Bible, also many saints after explain the whole secret behind God and His relationship with humans and followers. ) Now you question yourself, i have said that for this ( Mary exsisting and her relationship with God, Jesus )there are no evidence except what's written in Bible. Therefore you can only be sure if you belive, you even questioning in other ways than that is stupid. As i said you don't have any evidence that mary exsisted in real life except Bible, so if you don't belive in Bible completely but you doubt about things that don't exsist in real life ( sugesting by evidence) is just illogical.
Where can I watch Mary Magdalene ?
i think its gonna be the closest interpretation of jesus....i really hope he gets the oscar with this one.
Wow .. the first thing I observed was Joaquin Phoenix looks amazing as Christ
ICONIC SMOKING PHOTO
I will Not Be Silent...l will Be HEARD
Mary of Magdalene 💝
For me, mel gibson's the passion of the christ is sooo much better...
i couldn't agree more brother, passion of the christ is better
But this film focuses on mary magdalene not Jesus.
Have you seen the movie yet?
Uh huh. The anti semit. Nice....
This movie hasn’t even come out yet. FOH.
Thanks for your opinion on a movie that you haven’t seen yet.
Who cares if it's real or not, or what color their skin should be in the film, it's a good story, that's all that matters.
Joaquin is just perfect for this role.
The actress who plays mary is so goddamn beautiful 😍
how can you use God's name that way while watching about Jesus? please don't ever use His name that way
Her name’s Rooney Mara.
This is not based upon accuracy of Scripture! Just one example is the fact that Jesus never Baptised anyone and yet in this film he supposedly baptises Mary in water. It’s just someone’s attempt to make $$$$$$ by making a controversial film
and who determined the accuracy of the scriptures? Educate yourself.
SAENIAN the Dead Sea scrolls written by authors who witnessed.
Do we have to take as gospel what a few Illiterate fishermen wrote 2 millennia ago, and was translated and reinterpreted hundreds upon hundreds of times each with an agenda? As a Christian, I take the bible as an embellished reference on how to be a good person. And I think if more people followed it in that way, the world would be a better place. I think the general gist of it, is to be humble, even if you're a god, teach your followers through example how to live, live, eat, and laugh with them, until like any being who has ever preached love in this bitter world, someone ends up screwing you and you die. It's more of a tale about human nature that we have never learned to interpret or use.
@@zabaoth yeah,jesus was also human,and not only pure God,and even though i would hate it if the movie portrayed something sexual from mary and jesus,i think they're just gonna show how much they meant to each other,plus,the bible has probably been changed many times, a lot of the people here say that with the use of these movies, they are trying to change how young people view god,but,even if that is true,that means that people would have tried to change it thousands of times since the bible was written thousands of years ago ,in my point of view,Jesus loves everyone,and the bible is supposed to teach us how to be a good person and lead others to the kingdom of god,its not about being homophobic or disrespecting other religions or using our religion to rule upon others
PG on UA-cam and TV I Netflix Jesus Christ
Can't wait to see Joaquin in this roll!
I will be the first one to hit the cinema near my home :)
Thats rude, what did the cinema ever did to you? Dont hit bro, just love

*When the song was playing* THE FEEELS! " YOU CALL ME OUT UPON THE WATERS..."
All of a sudden I care about religion. This looks good.
It started playing in cinemas in UK yesterday (3-16-2018); it should be in the grande ole' USA _soon_ as I am seeing its unscheduled listings at AMC and Regal Cinemas. If you see a schedule, then please update us on this comment board.
The issue is that there was no romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Jesus said that anyone who "looks on a woman with lust in his heart" (Matthew 5:28), has SINNED! The Word states that Jesus "knew no sin" (2 Corinthians 5:21), so to say that He had ANY sort of romantic attraction to Mary is Biblically false and blasphemous.
Jesus LOVED Mary Magdalene! He did not LUST for her.
In that passage, “lust” is synonymous with “covet”- meaning desiring to have them as yours. We all belong to God.
Your comment explains so aptly why so many followers of abrahamic religions are scared of sexuality and sex, believing it’s sinful and wrong. Romantic love is one of the most beautiful experiences that we can have as humans. Why would you deny Jesus that joy? Scared of “sinning”? As in loving someone beyond belief is suddenly a sin now? Dear god.
@@zain4019 None of us "belong" to God in a sexual way. His love for us (Agape) is meant to express His deep desire that ALL would come to repentance and that none should perish.
You're referring to a different form of love (Eros) that is never used when talking about how God loves His people or how Christ loved anyone he interacted with, including, but not limited to, Mary Magdalene.
Sex is BEAUTIFUL and God created the institution that would allow it (marriage between a man and woman). No one is "scared" of sex. Many people have sought to pervert that institution from the very beginning of time and this latest abominable iteration of Jesus Christ's relationship with one of His followers is no exception.
Where was it implied so? Just because there's a women and a man in a scene doesnt mean they are attracted to each other
@@joshuasmith9312 You're an utter idiot. Thinking you know what people 2000 years ago were thinking and feeling. You CHOOSE to believe in an old book, written by MEN. Beyond a joke.
Jesus Christ healed me! This is my story about my healing! I was extremely ill !! I had diabetes and kidney failure, which urgently requires dialysis! I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!
Joaquin Phoenix....he's perfect for this...good choice Hollywood you did something right.
I'm not even religious and this shit has me crying. I love Rooney and Joaquin.
The joker as Jesus
*surprised pikachu face*
The music and hair and makeup of Mary is so todays modern. Feels different. 🙆
Waiting for Terrence Malick version
Whaaaat. Is that happening? Or are you cruelly just jesting? Lol.
She had a close relationship to Jesus as a Follower and her love for him was as his mother loved him. She and his mother were the first to go to the tomb and find it missing. It should not be controversial if done right! It looks good and hopefully they keep it the way it should be.
I just found out that Rooney Mara and Joaquin are dating omg
such a bold decision to make a movie about her, how can we ever know how her life was truly like?
Is this movie based on the historical sources or the biblical sources? Is this only biblical or does it include speculation like the marriage of the 2 people? I would be interested to know. I am a huge fan of The Da Vinci Code. Also, I am not a darn Christian. I am a Hindu.
Utkarsh Kumar I think it will be based on historical context since it’s the untold side of Mary Magdelene.
historica based with a touch of hollywood seasoning
How do the historical and biblical differ?
Michael McCarthy Many historians believe Mary Magdalene to not be a prostitute, but his wife and mother to his children.
Utkarsh Kumar - no they don't.. In case u didn't realise, The Da Vinci Code is fiction.. The Bible isn't..
Joaquin Phoenix! I didn't recognized him at first but knew he looked familiar. Wow, can't wait for it to come out. Love Rooney too. I'm excited!
Amazing👍👍👍
Song is Oceans by Hillsong United,one of my favorite
Another blasphemous Jesus film but oh wait there's a twist of feminism. This is exactly what the Bible says, "They listen (or watch) what their itching ears want to hear". Mary wasn't endorsing feminism at the time of Jesus nor was there ever a problem with women being baptized in the Bible. Dear viewer, in case you watch the film, make sure that you see what is truth and what is not. The director is mostly likely not a Christian and is portraying Mary Magdalene through his own view and his view is not the truth. The truth is in the Bible. Don't fall for the lie or the emotional message that comes with it. God bless.
Chrisyl The Missile I agree they are making like a feminist when it was never really about her..it was about Jesus and his teachings
Excuuuuuse me, but Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene first to proclaim his message after his death and resurrection seems pretty feminist to me. But what do I know... (sips tea)
Agreed 100% God bless you
Hmm..!
Chrisyl The Missile Thank you for this comment! Added blessings for the New Year also
Rooney is so amazing as an Actress. Isn't amazing how she and Chitiwel Ejiofor are linked to each other through Sarah Paulson. Rooney worked with her in Carol, and Chitiwel worked with her in 12 Years A Slave. Joaquin Phoenix is the brother of the Late River Phoenix who worked in Stand By Me, that had Kiefer Sutherland (Son of Donald Sutherland) who worked in A Time To Kill with Samuel L. Jackson who worked with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and let's not forget that Sandra Bullock worked on A Time To Kill as well with Cate Blanchett so there's the link.
Great movie. I love this fairy tale very much. Perfect cast. Pity I was not present at the time of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, so I could answer to those angry replies. No one saw what colour of the skin Jesus or Mary had, no one saw who wrote the Bible, no one saw what really happened then. But people are very angry and quick to judge. This work is not a documentary, this is a Fiction about Love, Forgiveness, and Mercy.
Jesus, Phoenix and Mara?. That all stars casting got me sold in.
once again rooney mara plays a character that should be brown. first tigerlily and now this. you're doing great rooney mara.
Mae Farrow Jews aren't brown. 😂
Sirius Noir people in the Middle East are you dumb ass 😂
Mae Farrow LMAO the Middle East, you ignorant woman? I know a lot of fair skinned people there.
Sirius Noir HAHAHHA ok honey keep fighting me on the dumbest issue you could have made this into 👍🏽 hope you're feeling justified
I am. Clearly someone forgot to research Middle Eastern folk. They are quite DIVERSE.
I feel so connected to her. My name comes from her's (Madeline-Magdalene) and my birthday, according to the Catholic church, is her saint day. She was so important in history and to Christianity and Christ himself, and yet her name is linked to the whore. It never stated that that was her, yet people assume. She was the representative, the female disciple, and the true one to lead Jesus' followers for him, except she was a woman. In those days and that culture, women were never seen equal. But Jesus saw something in her. Something that is finally as close as we can, show on screens for the entire world to see.
The Catholic church made her into a saint. That's the tiniest bit of acknowledgment that she really deserves, unlike other denominations.
@@mrseaflower1564Catholic Church is a joke.
This trailer has too many spoilers
like all the trailers lately... it's terrible how they show you the hole movie. There's no hidden story anymore
The problem with any story about Jesus is that it's not really spoiling if it's already been done to death (bad choice of words I'm sorry) and if you're the kind of person who'd watch the film you already know the story.
have you...read...you know...the bible
I assume you are joking, since we all know how the film will end. Bur for a chance it will be told from Mary Magdalene's perspective, and Jesus' mother is not an 18 to 30 year old. That's progress.
ya'll really dumb...
A fabulous film, saw it at a special wide screen max cinema some years back. The underwater scenes are magnificent on a big screen, you feel as if you are there. Wonderful actors
Is that fake jesus looks like 33 to you?..he looks like in his 60s to me..
You must be young...
+Lian Kings improve your grammar...and your IQ
He looks like 50 i think
The people that give this a thumbs down has no heart
the people who don't like the idea of a movie haVE no heart? are they hurting anyone by disliking a movie? Are you in mental hospital?
Why is everyone white?
Hmmm....good question.
Cause you business genius it's an american movie and the american movie industry has white or afroamericans actors for the 95 %. of its total. No stars in the american movie industries are from Palestine. Do you think America can do movie with palestinian people cause a movie is set there. LOLZ. Sure. They should waste million dollars for making happy annoying people like you that don't know nothing about business and art?
I saw black ppl in that trailer.
Because black people are black.. eww
Please stop. There's clearly a black dude in the trailer. Also, Jews are white.
Very beautiful trailer.. Can't wait for the movie..
Jesus was a man, people seem to forget. Regardless what was written, what is actually in the Bible, all his followers including Mary were witnesses, but yet her voice, her story has been left out. Like countless others who have followed him. What is the Vatican hiding? There is more to the story then what we are told. The bible was created by man, put together by man, scripture picked and put together to form a book THEY wanted, the stories THEY wanted humanity to read and know.
Humans really need to think about how the Bible was created, and the true purpose of it. People say its the word of God, but its a book created by man.
PJ Reactions ahahhahaha do you realise that you just said that the Bible was written by men?! Well if it was as you said, then Mary could be just somebodys' imagination. Which she is not, if you are educated enaugh, you would know this. Of course Jesus was human, but by any acts he was GOD and still IS. In Bible it's written that he was human by the looks but there was no Sin in Him. Also He Himself said that any man or woman is His brother or sister.
venomusdrake 288 actually I am educated and former youth minister who did study the biblical text of the word.
I’m referring to 300 AD during the days of emperor Constantine. When the formation of the Bible was being established.
BEEN WAITING TO WATCH THIS MOVIE SINCE LAST YEAR. Will we be able to watch it this lenten season?
Mary Magdalene must have been important otherwise church would not take the effort to undermine her
She is important but the catholic church should not bow to her, its a SIN to do so.
2nd commandment.
Joy Maheno yes that's true but she went into the history as prostitute or adulterer and I think she was neither of those.I believe that she played significant role in creating of church but we will never find out who she really was and what exactly she did and that's also because Catholic Church saw to that.
Universe Man pathetic wannabe macho detected
Universe Man really?
Livia M The Catholic Church recognizing St. Mary Magdalene as, I don't know, a saint undermines her how exactly?
