Mesih
Mesih, also known as 'The Messiah'[1][2][3][4], 'Jesus, the Spirit of God'[5], 'Messia'[6] is a 2008 Iranian film from the Islamic Republic of Iran, directed by Nader Talebzadeh, depicting the life of Jesus from an Islamic perspective, based not only on the canonical gospels, but also the Qur'an, and, it would seem, the Gospel of Barnabas.[7]
Iranian actor, Ahmad Soleimani Nia plays the role of Jesus.
The director sees his film "as an Islamic answer to Western productions like Mel Gibson's 2004 blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ," which he praised as admirable but quite simply "wrong"."[8]
The film has two endings, one from the Christian bible and one from the Qur'an.
The Vatican has given the movie and award for promoting interfaith understanding.
