It\u2019s fascinating. It\u2019s called The Young Messiah. And it is about Jesus Christ, roughly age 7, during a period of time about which there\u2019s little known. And so it\u2019s filled with wide open possibilities, rooted in a book that was written by Anne Rice called Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. It is unlike any Jesus movie you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>Stop and think of the premise here. The Young Messiah. At what age did Jesus become aware of who He was to become? Well, the movie tackles it, based on Anne Rice\u2019s book. Early miracles performed by 7-year-old kid that He doesn\u2019t understand and nobody else does. Being able to restore eyesight, for example, being able to cure madness, as an example. Sean Bean plays a Roman soldier, legionnaire targeted with killing this young kid because everybody, including old King Herod, becomes scared and frightened. But it\u2019s a fascinating&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_119405\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Young-Messiah.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nWell, obviously it\u2019s not a premise. It\u2019s actually an attempt here to document what probably was, and&#8230; (interruption) They did. They did get permission from Obama for the title, The Young Messiah, yes. I was just asked if they got permission from Obama for the title. I\u2019m told Obama granted them permission. Yes. Speaking of that , I read a couple of reviews of this. One of them is in Forbes magazine. The other one &#8212; well, Forbes website. The other one is the UK Guardian. And they savaged this movie. And it makes total sense.<\/p>\n<p>The guardian is an ultraleft-wing publication. They just trash it as a total waste of time, unimaginative, boring. And surprisingly Forbes was the same thing way. But it isn\u2019t. Particularly if&#8230; You don\u2019t even have to be a devout Christian for this. You can just be historically interested. But the premise itself is fascinating. And, you know, I\u2019m not an expert on somebody\u2019s a good actor or whether the score is good or the cinematography. I think watch these things, and if they captivate me &#8212; if time goes by faster than I\u2019m aware of &#8212; and if it holds my interest&#8230; And it did all that.<\/p>\n<p>So it opens today, and I think it opens in a lot of theaters. It is actually directed and written by Cyrus Nowrasteh, who also wrote The Path to 9\/11. Remember The Path to 9\/11, which was the truthful&#8230; This was the prelude to the attacks on 9\/11 and what all we knew and didn\u2019t act on. And it wasn\u2019t just an indictment of Clinton, but it was the only story that actually put Clinton in the loop, whereas many of the others try to blame Bush and his immediate advisors. Anyway, they aired the movie. It was a TV movie, Path 9\/11. ABC allowed the Clintons to edit, remember, two minutes out of it.<\/p>\n<p>And then they refused to take it to DVD, refused to sell it. So it only aired on TV, and if you didn\u2019t DVR it, you didn\u2019t have it. Now, I\u2019m a powerful, influential member of the media, so I had a DVD copy. But nevertheless, they still haven\u2019t put that on DVD. It was a one-time shot. The Clintons were allowed to edit two minutes out of it. So it\u2019s the same guy. But I\u2019ve never seen&#8230; Here\u2019s something else. I don\u2019t pay attention to this, but others do. Rotten Tomatoes? Do you pay attention to Rotten Tomatoes reviews? It\u2019s got 100%, or did earlier in the week. I mean, that\u2019s unheard of, 100%. That\u2019s universal reviews, positive reviews. So it\u2019s called The Young Messiah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, it\u2019s been awhile since I talked about a movie, but there is a movie opening today, and I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago.
