Film Analysis | Men of the Bible in Film & TV

In today’s episode I’ll be discussing some men of the Bible and the implications of the race of religious figures, saviors, and heroes on the big and small screen with my first guest host, Jamie Robertson. Jamie Robertson is a visual artist and educator from Houston, TX. She and Marcelese Cooper host the podcast, Where I See Me. Where I See Me looks at comics and media with lots of questions in mind, mainly where the hell are all the black/brown people?

Films & TV shows that will be discussed:

The 10 Commandments

The Passion of the Christ

The Prince of Egypt

Legion

Messiah

Lucifer

Supernatural

Touched by an Angel

Highway to Heaven

Topics:

Race — Accurate representations? Implications of having white religious figures to worship. White saviors and heroes (religious/mythical and human). Goodness being associated/equated with whiteness

Sexuality — Hot men of the bible. Should religious figures/characters on film and in tv be attractive? I feel some kind of what that I find Jim Caveziel as Christ and Tom Ellis as Lucifer attractive. Will this take us down the highway to Hell?

Humor — Does Jesus have a sense of humor?
