Hi, I am surprised that so many of you are so supportive of the Aramaic in the movie. I guess folks are just happy to hear the language and to know that it's getting so much exposure. After all, if the Peshitta contains the Aramaic that Jesus spoke, why was there a need to hire Fulco to "reconstruct" the words of Jesus? They're already there in the Peshitta! For those who may know, how accurate was Fulco's reconstruction compared to the Peshitta? The fact that he needed to takes pieces from here and there, present and past, tells me that his reconstruction is probably off, compared to the Peshitta. For those that know, please inform us!
