A mildly interesting observation about the Bible
    #19168136 - 11/20/13 11:55 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Has anyone seen the history's channel's show "The Bible" which is a live action acting out of the stories from the Holy Bible?

I have watched it a few times and always found myself intensely bored with it, despite being a huge fan of the Bible. I am not a good enough film critic to explain exactly why I dislike it so much, but I would say it comes off as overly dramatic and unbearably slow moving with questionable casting. For a while I thought that perhaps the Bible was just one of those books that was not meant to be made into a movie.

However, then I remembered the childrens series greatest legends and heroes of the Bible, which does the same thing as the history channel only its animated and for kids. However, I find the latter does a far much better job conveying the Bible's moral messages into the production and not only that, but I find it engaging, entertaining, humorous and deeply emotionally and spiritually moving.

I think it is interesting that I should feel this way. I can only conclude that the Bible lends itself much better to animation than live action. Maybe because from God's perspective, we are all like little children, seeing the Bible told for children is much more appropriate. In fact, most of the moral lessons in the Bible are things which we should have learned as children. Seeing them presented in a way that a child can understand, makes us adults feels like idiots for not for arguing so much over how the Bible should be interpreted while often ignoring its most basic moral teachings in our own lives.
