English Summary:

The Greatest Story Ever Told is a 1965 American epic film produced and directed by George Stevens. It is a retelling of the Biblical account about Jesus of Nazareth, from the Nativity through to the Ascension. Along with the ensemble cast, it is Claude Rains's final film role.

 

Three wise men (magi) follow a brightly shining star from Asia to Jerusalem in search of a newborn king. They are summoned by King Herod the Great, whose advisers inform him of a Messiah mentioned in various prophecies. When Herod remembers that the prophecy names nearby Bethlehem as the child's birthplace, he sends the Magi there to confirm the child's existence—and secretly sends guards to follow them and "keep [him] informed." In Bethlehem, the Magi find a married couple—Mary and Joseph—laying their newborn son in a manger. Mary states that his name is Jesus. As the local shepherds watch, the Magi present gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the infant. After observing the distant spies' departure, the magi leave as an angel's voice warns Joseph to "take the child" and "flee".

 

The spies inform Herod, who decides to kill the child. He orders the death of every newborn boy in Bethlehem, and dies shortly after being informed that apparently "not one is alive". However, Joseph and Mary have escaped into Egypt with Jesus; when a messenger informs them and others of Herod's death, they return to their hometown of Nazareth.

 

A pro-Israel rebellion breaks out in Jerusalem against Herod's son, Herod Antipas, but the conflict is quickly quashed. Herod's kingdom is divided, Judea is placed under a governor, and Herod becomes of tetrarch of Galilee and the Jordan River. Both he and the Romans are convinced that the Messiah the troubled people cry for is "someone who will never come".

 

 

Hungarian Summary:

A betlehemi születéstől az apostolok összehívásán, a hegyibeszéden és a számos csodatételen keresztül egészen a keresztútig, a keresztre-feszítésig és a feltámadásig, Jézus történetének szinte minden fontos állomása megelevenedik e filmben.

A monumentális filmfreskó Jézus életét eleveníti fel a filmművészet legnemesebb eszközeivel. Ez a film egyike a bibliai történet legszebb, legteljesebb feldolgozásainak. Vallástörténeti hűséggel követi a Biblia világát, s nemcsak Jézus történetét beszéli el, hanem hitelesen megeleveníti a kort, az időt, amikor élt. Az alkotók megpróbálták érzékeltetni, mit gondolhatott és mondott egyidejűleg Augustus császár és miként cselekedtek a rómaiak és a zelóták.
