| Not "A"... but "THE" Christmas Movie... (by smod1) |
| The movie was in a rough-cut stage, so I can not wait to see the finishing touches! I really had no idea what to expect and even though the movie was in a rough-cut... I was well pleased with what I saw. I do know that when I walk out of the theatre I felt as if I had been on a journey back to Biblical days. The characters were so real, a wonderful job done by each actor! Oscar Isaac played a great Joseph. Oscar's heart can be seen in the character of Joseph, it is what makes Joseph so real! Keisha Castle-Hughes plays Mary and although I do not have but a daughter-in-law, I could feel the <more> |
| One word (by rich-533) |
| Only one word can sum up this movie and that word is AWESOME!!! I was lucky enougth to see a preview screening this morning and when it had finished I was just filled with joy and felt great, this film captures the nativity fantastically and extremely accurate too, it also depicts the emotion, the hope, the awesomeness of God and much more that you don't really think about when thinking about the Nativity. This is a powerful movie. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. Seriously I could only say one word when I came out of the screening and that as I said was the word Awesome, I was <more> |
| Why I GIve It A Ten (by smit815) |
| As I write this I am aware that the vote is averaging 6.3. If you could see my voting record you would know that I do not give a high vote easily. So why do I see this so differently than many of you. Is it because I am a devout Christian? I did not give the PAssion of the Christ a very high rating. So i feel that I can be even handed in seeing this as what it is.1. I think that Ciaran Hinds played Herod as well as I have ever seen. The paranoia, and menace came through so well.2. I think Elliot Davis' cinematography was beautiful. It made me feel that I was in a renaissance painting.3. I <more> |
| This is no low budget attempt at portraying the Biblical account (by carl-stubblefield) |
| This is no low budget made for TV, direct to DVD, or "preaching to the choir" type film. Quite the contrary. Like Mel Gibson's The Passion, The Nativity Story delivers the quality acting, cinematography, musical score, special effects, direction, sound, production, etc. we've grown accustomed to receiving from the most skillful members of the Motion Picture industry.I was particularly appreciative of the way phrases in the Bible which can often be overlooked like, "Joseph...not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly." came to life on film. We <more> |
| Very good (by JCS-3) |
| I liked this film. If you like traditional biblical films faithful to the Bible, this movie is for you. My opinion is that Jesus should be portrayed with respect and truthfulness which wasn't the case with Last Temptation of Christ in 1988 . In this movie he was portrayed as just as he should be.Very minor spoiler ahead The film also contained many episodes not mentioned in the Bible, but these episodes most certainly occurred with the principals in the story for instance Mary being afraid to marry a man she didn't know etc. . In this way, the film gives depth to this so familiar <more> |
| Far Deeper and far more realistic than previous renditions (by skotoparavich) |
| When it comes to biblical movies, I always look for accurate biblical and theological rendering first and foremost. But accuracy is not necessarily enjoyable. You can easily tell if a movie is low-budget or not. You can easily tell if the acting is superficial or not.This movie is different. It combines biblical accuracy with excellent acting. Each character was portrayed very correctly. I have studied the biblical characters immensely; and from what we have in the synoptic gospels, the actors brought to live those beloved characters of the bible.This is a Christian movie filled with biblical <more> |
| Finally, a Christmas film without Santa Clause. (by bargen) |
| While in Hawaii recently, I had a chance to preview The Nativity Story, in its complete form, which, surprisingly, turned out to be quite a good film. I guess as a Christian, I am going to be seen as biased. And that's fair, however as a filmmaker as well, I will say that the majority of Christian or Christian based films I have seen are quite simply lower grade movies. That's why, this one in particular was very refreshing.The story itself of course I was familiar with having grown up hearing it every Christmas time. And, surprisingly, I think it translates very well onto the screen. <more> |
| At last a great family movie. (by drtwo1) |
| As a Catholic/Christian publisher I did not expect the integrity that the movie The Nativity Story presents. The story is produced with good taste and careful thought. At times the Scripture may be bent but it is never broken. The bends are simply to aid in the visual telling of the story and are not offensive.I found it to be very good family viewing with minimal violence and the scenes were not graphic in nature. The lesson in family love alone is worth the price of a ticket. The bonus is the lesson in faith and trust in God. I would encourage you to take children of all ages.The theology <more> |
| Perfectly Beautiful Movie (by itsmedianneb) |
| I just got back from watching a special screening of this movie and am still in awe of how the most amazing story could be so successfully and beautifully portrayed in a movie. I think every detail was thought out, from the grittiness of life in those days to the emotions of the people in response to the incredible turn of events in Mary and Joseph's life. The acting is akin to the acting in "The Passion of the Christ" in that you can sense that they became their characters in a very convincing way. There are few things that I would have done different if I had made the movie, <more> |
