Talk:Risen (2016 film)

This is not a "historical" drama
These story depicted in this movie (the search for the body) is purely fictional but built around an event that might have happened (the crucifixion). A historical event tells us simply tell about something that actually happened and is documented in history. The main characters, Clavius and Lucius are fictional persons and are not even mentioned in the bible. This "search" is not documented anywhere in history. What that effectively means is, aside from anyone’s personal beliefs about the biblical crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the entirety of Risen is fictional and should be treated as such.

 * Regardless of whether or not certain characters in a story are themselves, if a story revolves around historical characters, it can be characterized as an historical film. For example, see The Robe, which is pretty well suited for comparison. The term, historical film does not represent an affirming of the fiction or non-fiction aspect of the film. Take a look at Historical fiction.  Onel 5969  TT me 04:00, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

We plan to see the film in theatre today and will let you know. There is more than the details that are portrayed--there is also the 'feel' of the movie (if it is respectful to Bible believers or disrespectful.) At any rate, it can be asked in advance who is the movie for? The audience, the writer/critics, a Hollywood Oscar from peers? Who? We'll chip in here later. -- AstroU (talk) 21:05, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Inspiration section
Hi - quoting the primary source of the book itself isn't valid. What you need are 3rd party sources which point out that this might be the inspiration for the film. Otherwise it's simply self-serving promotion on the book's part.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:54, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Caesar
The Caesar whose wrath is feared at the Resurrection would necessarily be Tiberius, not Augustus. Elizium23 (talk) 11:32, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
