ShangLuda Admirable film.

Kirpianuscus it is strange to define it. because it seems be a form of spring morning. simple, touching, delicate, convincing. and charming. it is the film of an if. one so present in Christian denominations than the film seems be the universal answer. and one of the basic ingredients of its special beauty is the impeccable performance of Tony Goldwyn. this detail does the film more than one of many religious films with status of Neoprotestant message. it does it more than a film for the believers. it propose only an interesting perspective about a certainly event. and it does a great work.

Dee Smith This movie did not do justice to the beautiful and thought-provoking story as told in the book. It just didn't have the same level of detail or narration to fully explore the concept of how Jesus would be received in modern society.In addition, the acting by much of the supporting cast was not very good and made it difficult to take the movie seriously and watch it until the end. I am glad I did watch it until the end, though. I found myself surprisingly moved by the last scene.I highly recommend the book!

jmf39531 I saw this movie some years and remember bawling - that's how wonderful it was. Then I saw it being shown on cable TV again so I wanted to see it again and said no way will I bawl again. Well I was wrong. Knowing what was coming I bawled more this time then last. This is how this movie affects you. Its such an uplifting movie with Tony Goldywn performing the best I've ever seen him. My wife and I so enjoyed it and will share it with our children and grandchildren. The music is also so beautiful. I recommend this to people of all ages. It will not disappoint you. after seeing this movie again last night, my wife and will surely watch it again and again. Its that good.

barbourjohn-633-608932 A movie that helps you major on the majors which are love and community. Joshua (Jesus in Hebrew - really Yeshua)is just that; a Christ figure ( or maybe even Christ himself) who comes to a small town and brings healing, love, and community. He helps the black Baptists build a church; carves a Peter statue for the Catholics and helps the Pharisaical and hypocritical priest find freedom from his fears and another priest his true calling. He also, helps a "faith healer" learn what real healing is and that he does not need to resort to manipulative tactics.It's a feel good movie and one that is good to watch now and again. It's not that the law doesn't matter ( the hypocritical priest's view) or that it's wrong to have a revival meeting ( the faith healer); even the bureaucratic Roman catholic church has a place; it's just that these are all peripherals and not the center. Thee center is Christ and Loving God and your neighbor as yourself and even the resurrection hope.
