Movie Review: A true saga of "loving your neighbor as thyself"
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hiding Place
A true saga of "loving your neighbor as thyself"
[146 minutes - genre: reality and drama]
In a manuscript from the 1st century AD one reads << "You have heard that it was said `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'" But I say to you Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also ..." "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven...">> [words of Jesus, gospel manuscript according to Matthew]
"The Hiding Place, is one of the most extraordinary true stories to come out of World War II. Filmed in Holland and other authentic European locations, the film traces the lives of Corrie ten Boom, her father, and sister Betsie, from the quiet years before WWII, to their work with the `under-ground' in helping to save the lives of countless Jewish families. The ultimate price they pay for their efforts is arrest and imprisonment in one of Nazi Germany's most dreaded concentration camps. In the midst of monstrous cruelty and suffering, Corrie and Betsie must face the greatest test of their faith in God and their ability to love mankind." [DVD jacket description]
Los Angeles Times calls it "It is that rarest of rarities, a film of shining, triumphant spirituality."
The acting was flawless, the cinematography could not be more authentic [accurate details of life in a `work-camp'], but what shined above all else was the testimony of faith and courage of this Christian Dutch family. Their morals and religious ethics came first, not only in times of freedom, or Nazi occupation, but also in times of despair living in sub-human conditions of the Nazi `lager' [concentration camp].
The end is as dramatic as the rest of the story itself -
"Years later it was learned my release came through a clerical error. ... Some questions remain, but they are not to be feared. Out heavenly Father holds all things in His hands. Even our questions. ... No pit is so deep, that He is not deeper still. With Jesus even in our darkest moments, the best remains, and the very best is yet to be. ... I promised my sister - I would tell it - and I tell you."
What a beautiful testimony of living as a child of God and loving one's neighbor and also one's enemies.
