King of Kings

Revealing mistake: Have a look at some of the beards (and wigs) in this movie, the facial hair is coming loose on several of the disciples' beards.

Revealing mistake: The final sequence of the film where the Disciples leave a net in different directions is said by the narrator to be the final time Jesus speaks to them. The scene sidesteps all idea of the Ascension of Christ read in the Gospels and there is also no hint of Pentecost. As well as the lack of Christ's wounds on His resurrected body the film has missed important points in the post Resurrection appearances. The figure of Jesus moves awkwardly in shadow in the same mistakenly attributed scene.

Trivia: This film was the first since the days of the Hayes Office to show Jesus' face. Films depicting Jesus during the Hayes Office years did not show his face because of opposition by religious groups who found it inappropriate.

Question: The first disciples to follow Jesus are shown as John and Andrew. But where did James brother of John vanish and there is no record in the Bible that these two followed the Baptist. Surely Philip and Bartholomew also are involved at this point or shouldn't the whole scene have started with Peter and then moved back to Andrew and the two boys of Zebedee? The assembling of the Apostles doesn't follow biblical accounts at all and a juvenile John is very much set apart from any brother.
