This animated feature-length life of Jesus pride starry pedigree. Originally a BBC Wales production, it showcases the voices of some of the best British actors in any medium: Ralph Fiennes as a brooding and humble Jesus, Miranda Richardson as Mary Magdalene, Richard E. Grant as John the Baptist and David Thewlis as Judas. A beautiful, flute-heavy score is Oscar-winner Anne Dudley (Full Monty). And clearly a lot of expense has gone into the Claymation-like animation as well. But while it's hard to find errors in displaying the familiar story-is respectful and definitely happened, you might say that the book-it would be nice if there was a tad more joy, when he went a bit lighter in its sandals. Given that all the characters seem consistently subdued, whether they are an expression of anxiety, anger, fear or bliss-none of which are helped by figures' blank-eyed stares (if animators are becoming more sophisticated, why can not they get rid of those horrid empty gāzes one and for all?). Yet with such an impressive mass of actors play these familiar roles lends the production a certain credibility, and parents looking for good religious videos that will not insult their kids' intelligence will be thrilled. Tento animovaný celovečerní-délka života Ježíše pyšní hvězdné rodokmen. Původně BBC Wales výroby, je přehlídkou hlasy některých z nejlepších britských herců v jakékoli médium: Ralph Fiennes jako rozjímání a pokorného Ježíše, Miranda Richardson jako Marie z Magdaly, Richard E. Grant jako John the Baptist a David Thewlis jako Jidáš. Krásná, flétna-těžké skóre je Oscar-vítěz Anne Dudley (plná Monty). A jasně hodně úkor odešla do Claymation-stejně jako animace. Ale zároveň je to těžké najít chyby v zobrazování tento seznámeni příběh-je ohleduplná a určitě stalo, mohli byste říct, že se kniha-to by bylo hezké, kdyby došlo k tad větší radost, když se šel trochu světlejší v jeho sandály. Vzhledem k tomu, že se všechny znaky zdát důsledně zemdlil, zda jsou vyjádřením úzkostí, vztek, strach nebo blaženosti-z nichž žádný není napomohl čísla 'prázdné-eyed zírá (pokud animátorů jsou stále sofistikovanější, proč nelze tyto zbavit těch hrůzný prázdné gazes jednou, a to pro všechny?). Přesto hmotnost s takovou impozantní herci hrají těchto známých rolí půjčuje výrobu určitého důvěryhodnost a rodiče hledají dobré náboženské videa, která se nebude urážet jejich děti 'inteligence bude nadšená. |
