It is amazing to me that whenever a portrayal of the bible is done, the non-jews look jewish and the jews look aryan. The only explanation offered is that it helps us relate to them better or that they look nicer. The end result of this is the inability to relate to jews as humans because they are almost never portrayed correctly. There are a few exceptions such as Schindler's List and the Passion. Well, bravo to them for not changing the ethnic background of the characters.
