The Kings of Kings (1928)

First a bit of housekeeping, I am now leaving Rome behind and traveling backwards slightly to Jesus.  I'm actually going to watch several of these movies because there is a lot of them, and it's a very culturally significant topic.  I started with The King of Kings.  I watched the 1928 cut, although there is a longer 1927 version.  It is a long, Cecil B. DeMille silent movie.  I found the beginning to be pretty entertaining, as it starts out with Mary Magdalene at her whoreiest.  But by the time they got to the last supper I was starting to get kind of bored.  Surprisingly a few scenes at the end are in 2-strip technicolor, which creates a neat effect.
