![]() ![]() Additionally, older disc players may have a harder time. We’re finding with the huge difference in DVD/BluRay players, an extremely small percentage seem to have trouble playing the discs. Every disc is stamped exactly the same, so sending a new one probably isn’t going to work. Thanks for writing in! We’re sorry you’re having trouble. This is a copy of an email I got back from them after I explained what my problem was: Your experience with disk 2 made me feel a little better knowing it did not have anything to do with my equipment. I bought the Blu-ray set since my data is limited and I knew I’d watch these episodes over and over. You can also download the App for free, or buy DVDs or Blu-ray discs and enjoy streaming all eight episodes for free. You can watch the first episode for free. The man who created the show is Dallas Jenkins, the son of Jerry Jenkins. The first season is available for viewing, and the second season is to be funded soon. There is no big name studio producing it it is crowd-funded. There are to be eight seasons, with the last two devoted to Christ’s death and resurrection. ![]() There may be one or more characters you can identify with, and/or someone in your life who needs to see this. Simon Peter the schemer, Mary Magdalene the oppressed, Matthew the recorder who questions all he knows, Nicodemus the seeker, all met Jesus and in some cases were changed instantly like Mary and in others it was a slow learning process like with Simon. (Isaiah 43:1 is wonderfully repeated in Episode 1, as an example.) It’s a reminder that He deeply loves you and has reached out to you, and wants you for his. I believe that what is touched inside of us is the reminder that faith in Jesus Christ is not a religion, but comes from a relationship started when He touched you in some way at some place in your life regardless of what you had done. There are even some little modern expressions sprinkled in as when Jesus helps the former cripple stand up and He says to him, “Easy does it.” The action and dialogue is natural. Some Christian productions have the characters look for several seconds with a blank or dumb look on their faces. What I mean is the writing is superb, as is the acting and direction. Overall, the setting and feel of the production is so real and startling. The Samaritan woman declares she is going to tell everyone Jesus is the Christ! Screen grab from Episode 8, I Am He. Some scenes I’ve seen many times and still can’t keep dry eyes. The episodes’ stories build up to the point at which they meet Jesus and are changed, and the viewer can sympathize both with where the character has been, and what he or she is experiencing as they meet Christ. ![]() Much of each episode is spent on the backstory of each character such as Mary Magdalene, Matthew, Nicodemus, Simon and Andrew, and the Samaritan woman whom Jesus met at Jacob’s well. ![]() But what makes Chosen so special is it tells the story of Jesus’ ministry, from the point of view of the persons who were completely changed by our Lord and Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, in a real and personal way. The Chosen is the first TV series of Jesus ministry, and is not a movie. It just came out last year and is spreading by word of mouth. This website isn’t known for its book or movie reviews, but after running across The Chosen, I believe I must make it known to this audience. Home › Movie Review › Review: “The Chosen” ![]()
