Overview
People often found themselves speechless when they came face-to-face with the wisdom of Jesus—from the learned rabbis in the temple who were astonished at the words of a 12-year-old Jesus, to the victory over Satan who unsuccessfully tempted the Savior even after He had grown pale with hunger from a 40-day fast. This story begins with Jesus’ early years and follows with His triumph over Satan, marking the beginning of His ministry.

Center
Primary
The film is a direct adaptation of the biblical narrative of Jesus Christ, focusing on spiritual and moral themes rather than explicitly promoting a particular political ideology. Its central thesis is religious and spiritual, not political, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features casting that largely aligns with traditional Western depictions of biblical figures, without explicit race or gender swaps for diversity, equity, and inclusion purposes. Its narrative, a faithful adaptation of the Gospels, does not critically portray traditional identities or explicitly center modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The animated film "Jesus, the Son of God" (2007, identified by IMDb ID tt0956161) depicts Jesus and other historically Middle Eastern biblical figures with light skin tones, consistent with traditional Western portrayals. This constitutes a race swap from their documented historical race.
The film's title and subject matter, "Jesus, the Son of God," inherently position it as an affirming portrayal of Christian beliefs, focusing on the life, teachings, and divine nature of Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity.
While depicting historical conflicts between Jesus and some Jewish religious authorities, the film portrays Judaism as the foundational context for Jesus's life and teachings, often presenting his message as a fulfillment or reinterpretation within that tradition, rather than a condemnation of the faith itself.
The film "Jesus, the Son of God" is a religious adaptation of the Gospels. It does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, as its narrative strictly adheres to the traditional biblical accounts. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film portrays its biblical characters, such as Jesus, Mary, and the disciples, consistent with their canonically established genders from the New Testament. No significant character's gender was altered from the source material.
