Genre: Other
The kind of genre is a history and a biography.

I was about watching my brother's movie tapes, "Jesus of Nazareth", a TV miniseries at the home of my parents house some years ago but I've discovered the closed-caption (CC) did not showing up at the bottom of TV screen. I've had inspected the logo of "CC" on the back of a package of 2 movie tapes before I inserted one of them into the VCR. I was in a disappointment and took it out right away. So I borrowed this TV miniseries movie from the city island library 2 weeks ago on Monday. Thank God, I understood the dialogue between actors all the way to the end since the CC showed up at the beginning. This TV miniseries movie was aired on at around the time of Easter in 1977. The miniseries received two Emmy nominations, neither of which it won. I don't remember this TV movie cuz I was little girl at that time. I found out about this when I got older.

This is a Biblical story about the life of Jesus. Jesus was played by Robert Powell. I have never heard of this actor before. He did a terrific job. This film is beautiful and very good. It was directed by Franco Zeffirelli. It made u learning who Jesus is. Jesus changed people's life. Here is a video, "A Tribute to the Cast of 'Jesus of Nazareth' " below:
