Maybe he had to be that far back to keep the backdrop in the frame. It may also have to do with the shadow, which could cause contrast problems in the video if he was partially covered by the shadow.

Matthew wrote about the "Temptation of Jesus" in third person as if he were there or as if he had very detailed information about what happened. I suppose that Jesus could have related the events to him, and then 40 years later he decided to write his gospel.
The simpler explanation is "he made it up".
This also explains his "flat earth" point of view:
"the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory"
The Temptation of Jesus
1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4But he answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”5Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”7Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.’”11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

Who recorded the "Sermon on the mount"? Matthew supposedly remembered it and wrote it down 40 years later?
Quite a sermon. I have a hard time remembering what someone said last week.
Matthew 5:1 - 7:29

Why Do Some People Wear A Mask While Driving Alone In Their Car?

I've driven a few minutes with a mask on simply because I forgot to take it off when coming out of some place where it was required. This probably accounts for a small number of people you see driving around with one on.

Creating a label ("Karen") and assigning it to a group of people to degrade and humiliate that group because they are seen as racist, seems a little ironic doesn't it?

Will those that were born with severe mental disabilities be resurrected with perfect minds. If so, how will they have the same personality? Will they really be the same person?
How about people that identify as a different gender than there biological gender, will god resurrect them to their gender of preference or will he resurrect them to their biological gender and adjust their attitude?

Ha! I did the same thing, except I somehow knew not to embarrass myself by trying what you did.
I wanted to be able to read the bible in the original language. I memorized the alphabet, learned the pronunciation and was beginning to be able to get the gist of what was written.
Now, I think that I can still probably read Greek aloud, but like you I would have no idea what I was saying.

Christians believe that God will eventually do away with evil and suffering and Christians will live happily in perfection.
If a perfect life without evil and suffering is possible, then it never needed to exist in the first place.
