What happens

The Messiah, also referred to as Jesus, Jesus, the Spirit of God,Good Tidings of the Savior (Persian: بِشارت مُنجی, romanized: Bešārat-e Monjjy), is a 2007 Iranian film directed by Nader Talebzadeh (1953—2022), depicting the life of Jesus from an Islamic perspective, based not only on the canonical gospels, but also the Qur'an, and, it would seem, the Gospel of Barnabas. The latter conforms to the Islamic interpretation of the origins of Christianity. Iranian actor Ahmad Soleimani Nia plays the role of Jesus. Some Islamic organizations cite it in support of the Islamic view of Jesus. Talebzadeh said of The Passion of the Christ, "Gibson's film is a very good film. I mean that it is a well-crafted movie but the story is wrong." The film has two endings, one from the Christian Bible and one from the Qur'an. It is a two-hour-plus feature film and a TV series shot for Iranian TV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
