Abstract
(2015)Directed by Rodrigo GarciaTHIS AIN'T YOUR DADDY'S JESUS MOVIEJesus movies have a long tradition in the history of filmmaking. The first Jesus movies were based on the Passion story, made around the turn of the century. Most Jesus movies try to tell some portion of the life of Jesus in a realistic way. They use costumes of the day and follow one or more of the Gospel stories. I think of these as traditional Jesus movies and I include among them Martin Scorcese's The Last Temptation of Christ and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, even though each of these gives a new twist to the story that they are telling.There have been some Jesus movies that have diverged significantly from the traditional story, including Jesus of Montreal, The Life of Brian, and Jesus Christ Superstar or Godspell. Each of these films diverges from the traditional story in some interesting way - costumes, setting, main character, or music - but they remain a part of the genre.Now comes Rodrigo Garcia's contribution to the history of Jesus movies and ain't your Daddy's Jesus That is, although Jesus is the main character and the costumes and setting are appropriate to the time, this is not a traditional Jesus movie. Indeed, it is not a Bible story at all. It is clearly a fictional account of what happens to Jesus after he fasts and prays in the desert for forty days. One advantage of adding this story to the life of Jesus is that all of the arguments about whether the story is an accurate account of the Bible or not are made moot. This story is not an account of the Bible at all. The movie is what producer, Julie Lynn, called a meditation on fathers, faith, and destiny. But this does not make it any less a contribution to the history of Jesus movies.The plot is quite simple. After wandering in the desert and being tempted by the devil on three different occasions, Jesus finds himself ready to go on to Jerusalem. But, on his way he encounters a family - a father, son, and mother. The family is embroiled in a conflict. The father (played spectacularly by Ciaran Hinds) wants his son to help him complete building a home in the desert where he expects his son to live. The son, of course, has other plans. He would like to leave the desert and see what life is like in the big city - Jerusalem. The conflict between the father and the son is, of course, also the conflict between Jesus and his own Father, each wanting a different path.At this point, re-enter the devil who wants to make a wager with Jesus. If Jesus can solve the family's problem to the satisfaction of all parties, the devil will leave Jesus alone from that point forward. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
