Movie Reviews of Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Movie Review: Snore Bore Torture
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to watch this movie in three different intervals because the movie was so boring. It was anticipating that this movie would answer some of my questions as to how Saints interact with God and why Saints feel they need to suffer to embrace the love of God. Since the movie was such a letdown, I drove over to my Library and checked out the Relectant Saint The Life of Francis if Assisi. The book is far more informative and paints a more realistic picture of St Francis. It's strange how Hollywood can make such a mess out of something so beautiful.
Summary of Brother Sun, Sister Moon
A medieval italian wastrel becomes francis of assisi founder of an order under pope innocent iii. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/09/2004 Starring: Graham Faulkner Alec Guinness Run time: 121 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Franco ZeffirelliIt seemed like a good idea in 1973: a musical scored by Donovan about the life and times of St. Francis of Assisi, the passionate ascetic who expressed love for God by loving nature. But the finished product was something else. Filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli (Endless Love) makes a decorous effort at communicating the ideals of Francis and even tweaking the character toward flower-power relevance. But the result is feel-good fluff, a boring movie that doesn't penetrate its subject as much as reinvent him toward a modern bias. Graham Faulkner is entirely forgettable in the lead, and Donovan's songs on this project aren't exactly first-rate, either. --Tom Keogh
