Title: “Christ Consciousness” – A Conversation About Diogo Morgado
Scene: Joe Jukic and Luis Morgado sit in a dimly lit living room, the credits of Son of God rolling on the TV screen. They’re silent for a moment, absorbing what they’ve just watched. Then, Joe turns to Luis, thoughtful.
JOE (leaning forward)
You feel it too, don’t you?
LUIS (nodding slowly)
Yeah. It’s not just the acting. There’s something else.
JOE
Exactly. He’s not just playing Jesus. It’s like… he knows Him.
LUIS (smirking slightly)
Or is Him, in some way.
JOE (pointing at him)
That’s what I’m saying! Diogo’s got that thing—what did Oprah call it?
LUIS
“Christ Consciousness.”
JOE (snapping his fingers)
Yes! That’s it. It’s not just a performance. It’s an energy.
LUIS (leaning back, arms crossed)
You think he’s aware of it? That he’s carrying that?
JOE
I don’t know. Maybe not in an egotistical way. But when you see him in this role—the way he speaks, the way he looks at people—it’s not just acting. It’s like he’s tapped into something real.
LUIS (thoughtful)
Oprah talks about it like it’s a universal love, a higher awareness. And Diogo… he doesn’t just portray it. He radiates it.
JOE (grinning)
So what you’re telling me is… Diogo Morgado might actually be an ascended master?
LUIS (laughing)
Hey, I’m just saying—if there’s anyone out there who could convince me Christ Consciousness is real, it’s him.
JOE (raising an imaginary glass)
Then here’s to Diogo—the man who made us believe, even just for two hours.
LUIS (raising his own imaginary glass, smiling)
Amen.
(They both laugh as the screen fades to black.)
Closing Note: A lighthearted but deep conversation about presence, spirituality, and the power of performance—with just the right touch of reverence and humor.
