This was one of my favorite scenes in the movie. As a Christian it was so beautiful to see how Jesus' life eased a bit of the Africans' suffering and gave them hope.
Real or not, it’s a powerful story any way you look at it, and it’s fascinating to see these characters/people from such a wildly different culture making their own sense of it.

I always loved this scene because it makes the viewer see the story of Jesus with fresh eyes, too, almost as if we were also Cinque, who had also never heard of this story. What we call halos = “Everywhere he goes he is followed by the sun”, etc.. it gives the viewer a chance to see their own stories with a fresh eye, helping them to let go of their predisposed trappings and perhaps see something anew that has been staring them in the face the whole time, but they couldn’t see it because they were so accustomed to it as an assumption.
I’m a sinner who’s from the west but I can see why Jesus is so gracious and loving towards us-especially the slaves who understood him better than we do.
I dreamed of this movie a night before I ever seen it. I cried throughout the movie n in the end, the buildings they bombed to free those ppl? I dreamed i was there as a child with a bunch of other children & we were very unhappy n we had to be quit all the time n there were a bunch of nuns standing over us all the time n the dream was over. The next day I seen the movie .. These ppl belong in heaven n they are heroes for me💖 They also got to know the true God who is always covered by a light over his head or is surrounded by light. I will always bless them & big up this movie. A cry for freedom🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Christian Ali some people only hate Christianity because of the zealots our religion has had that have made everything we’re supposed to stand for a perverted joke but that doesn’t we should lose hope not one bit and no amount of racism and hate can stop that
@Mink monk Hoy except christians shut down the slave trade worldwide in the 1800s. Jefferson sent the navy to shut down Tripoli slave trade and Britain did it in 1820s in their empire.
"When the white man came to Africa, the white man had the Bible and the African had the land, but now it is the white man who is being, reluctantly and bloodily, separated from the land, and the African who is still attempting to digest or to vomit up the Bible." Stop giving your evil ancesters a pat on the back cause the only thing they have on their hands is Blood.
@Mink monk Hoy Wrong. Christianity was in Africa LONG before the White man ever got there. www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/features/storyofafrica/index_section8.shtml

The tribe of Judah re-learning the story of the Lion of Judah. Awesome. The slaves brought to America were the hebrews of the bible. Africa was their home after they were exiled out of their first home (Israel).
@@echomediastories it also would have made little to no sense for the story. Point of fact..the purpose of the scene was them interpeting a religion and culture that was completely alien to them.
@@alexsolomon8127 It also gave them a better understanding why so many abolitionists were devout christians. It was this powerful story of Jesus that inspired goodness.
No one knows what color Jesus was. I believe God understood human nature and knew if Jesus was fully described as white or black or brown etc. that group of people would try to claim being the same color as Jesus made them superior to other races. And you know what? People do it anyways without proof. Jewish people are the most guilty of this idea and willingly claim they are the chosen race of God and openly call all other races Goy and word meaning cattle. It is so shameful that people have blasphemed God in such a way.
This is what lead blacks to freedom. Some of the first books slaves ever read was the bible and this is powerful coming from a jewish director.

Is the below really necessary?

When the holy spirit spoke
The actor that played Cinque is a prodigy. What a fantastic and moving performance. So full of power, dignity, sweetness and compassion.

I am not religous - but this scene explains to me why most people are
It is beautiful
Religion gets people in trouble. Jesus doesn't. Read His words. Believe in Him and follow Him. You will never be sorry.
@@aswhiteassnow5087 Religion is man's interpretation of who God is. No man knows for sure until he meets Him.

Jesus is the way, he is the alpha and the omega, the Christ, the savior. Open your hearts, believe in him, he is the son of God. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
this is so fire🔥🔥
I need to watch it again.

1:25 "... but everywhere he goes he is followed by the sun."
I couldn't help but feel like they were trying to drop a big hint here. Perhaps?
Tell me again how True Christianity can be looked upon as anything else but good.

They worship a white Jesus why don't they have the ancient Ethiopian Bible ?
It would have been so much more meaningful and accurate for them to have seen a Jesus that was not white.

They weren't Ethiopians. That's a completely different part of Africa.
