Jesus Is Born. False Beard-Makers Rejoice!


Came across this Jesus film which is available to watch online in a mind-boggling selection of languages (from Aari to Zulu).

I don't know where it was shot, but local beard-makers must have done some very good business indeed. The amazing variety in size, shape and colour of fake facial growths is a wonder to behold. The sheer scale of the logistical and continuity task which must have been required to get the right beards to the right people for the right shot would, I'm sure, have been enough to bring most other film projects to their knees. My admiration goes out to the prop department - your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Beards are sure to come back into fashion one day. It will just take the tv series based on one of these movies to do it.

I might have to get one, but only if they come in XXXtra Holy or Medium Blasphemous. Either one...

haha - we just need a top designer to start a fad for false beards. I mean, it's never been explored, has it?

I can just picture myself at the Oscars, stroking a little controversial Westwood number, clipped neatly round my ears.

Do they make Santa ones too?

Don't be ridiculous. We're talking designer false beards. Stop mocking my need for a Gucci beard, will you.
