Film Review – The King of Kings

“The Life of Our Lord” was a book created by author Charles Dickens to help teach his children the story of Jesus Christ. It was never meant to be published. In reality, Dickens didn’t want anyone outside of his kids to even see the work, as it was a personal offering of storytelling and faith. However, as the decades passed, the work found its way to the public, and now “The King of Kings” is an animated take on the story and the concept of its accessibility to young, impressionable minds. It’s a South Korean production telling the tale of an Englishman’s version of biblical chapters, which is an oddball way to sell the wonders of Christianity, and “The King of Kings” is perhaps too strange to really land its intended impact, mixing slapstick with crucifixion. The picture is meant to get kids into religion, but the movie will likely inspire interest in the adoption of a cat, as feline antics are arguably more compelling than a CliffsNotes overview of sin and sacrifice.
