With the documentary, Forsythe Forty-Seven Days with Jesus, the first question that came into my mind is, what does this mean to live in faith with Christ? First of all, how do Christians practice it? Or when all that is needed is to be friendly? That is, is it sufficient just to be a self-proclaimed “Christian”? Is it merely the successes that one has? What is it?

In Forsythe Forty Seven Days with Jesus, I kept piecing together the puzzle, so to speak, but from a unique angle. To me, I would say that being a Christian means that when people observe my life, they can observe the word of God animated by the stories, the teachings, the commandments, and even the ministry of Jesus.

It is very much what occurs in Fourty-Seven Days With Jesus, an Easter-themed story about the Burdon family. The family appears rather typical of a Christian family Joseph (Yoshi Barrigas, The Chosen) with Juliana (Catherine Lidstone, Mary from The Chosen) whom we see have kids Daniel (Adam Perez Courtney) and Emma (Aliyah Camacho), but Joseph detached and occupied with work; at least one of the family relationships is in an awkward position.

The Burdons chose to get together at the house owned by Joseph’s parents who are known as Poppa (Emilio Palame) and Nonna (Norma Maldonado). As they do, however, they realize how disconnected the members of the family have become. Joseph is dealing with his fair share of dysfunctional marriage insecurities on top of starting a new business that could barely support him alongside his teenager’s mood swings and Poppa’s deteriorating health.

During all this chaos, the adults try to entertain the children with a family story about Saba (Grandpa) and his “Forty-Seven Days” which the child loved. It pulls together a number of events that have always excited children, like stories of God’s or Jesus’s life. And yes, history gives these stories their color, as stories are about people people are about families and families are about history. Hearing Memories is such a story: this Burdon family history starts with a storyteller who moves from the past to its present to bridge distances in order to allow the Burdons to complete a journey to be a single family with a single faith at the center of it all.

Jesus is presented at a totally new juncture in the form of the musical movie “Kneeling Before Jesus” which appreciates a compelling and dynamic direction, in addition to touching family drama which gives the story life, a life that even in this modern age lost to many as dozens of issues that we face now would then have been unparalleled. This moving film was directed by Emilio Palame and David M. Gutel. The name of the film is ‘Forty-seven Days with Jesus’. The Bible can explain all the stories as valid to this day and age as they are universal and true.

The casting exhibits exceptional teamwork and enhances the film too. Marshall John who acted as the protagonist did an exceptional job and made buying into the character relatively easy. He went into the role of A good father and husband like you said pushing the narrative that many can relate to. Emilio Palame also went to great lengths to become the character and did a great job capturing the essence of a wife and mother. While Lidstone is great in making Juliana look remarkable and dutiful in the way she takes care of her, I believe that Lidstone manages to bring forth commendable characteristics that showcase first the resoluteness of Juliana and then her intention to make things right.

The acting was on point, every member of the cast did a commendable job, Jeremy was played by Tory N. Thompson and Claudia was played by Lilli Passero and a special mention goes for the Burdon children. On the other hand, Cameron Arnett who is a recognized ‘Courageous’ fan plays Pontius Pilate and she somehow transcends into this strong as she operates in the short timeline.

To put it all together, Brian Lang seems to have shot the film in one sweeping movement and even so renders Bradley Dickinson’s contemporary and past production design between times of such a high caliber. Rolland Jacks contributed both in music and lyrics while Darlene Koldenhoven did the vocal arrangements and was the music director and producer, she is a Grammy winner and this was Jacks’ first work with her.
