Movie Reviews of Brother Sun, Sister Moon (Widescreen)
Movie Review: franciscan joy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a portrayal of the early years of Francis of Assisi told with the pageantry that bears the Zeffirelli mark.The story is simply made basically to attract the 60's movement.For people of faith it is a sensitive retelling of the Franciscan story.The music of Donovan adds to the spiritual atmosphere by capturing musically the Franciscan spirit of simple faith and joy in God's creation.Curiously the haunting musical score was never released in English on LP or CD. Too many critics have failed to realize the inner beauty of the film.Movie Review: 30 years later!!! It's still awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, my very 1st time to see this movie was 30 yrs ago as part of our school's religion activity. It was 1974 - 6th grade, nothing really make sense to me why we have to watch this movie. But after the movie, I was moved, awed and really have to think about my faith... Truly St. Francis' prayer was my inspiration to recite every morning. "Make me an Instrument of your Peace"...
Besides the movie, what really moves me and after all these years is the music by Donovan - Brother Sun, Sister Moon...a wonderful piece of music...
Movie Review: Spiritual Wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far one of my favourite movies of all time and is a must watch for just about everyone on the planet. It is a great rendision of St. Francis. If you watch this movie and don't like it, then you need to watch it again and open your heart and eyes to love because you missed the point the first time. Whether or not this is the best picture about St. Francis does not matter. It's the movie it'self that draws on an open heart concept. Don't miss this film. I highly recommend buying this one for anyones collection.Movie Review: Brother Sun, Sister Moon: Maybe their is Hope!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a religious person nor do I beleive in life after death. That being said, seeing Brother Sun Sister Moon gives me hope in the human being in that the message behind of it all is: what ever people may say on you or however you are judge, just fallow the path you think is yours.
It might be an odd review, but the rest you must see; its a Masterwork.
The scenes are breathtaking and the actors are beautiful. The music and songs will take you elswhere, and that is precious. If possible: THREE thumbs up!
Movie Review: Just glorious
Summary: 5 Stars
This is some of the most beautiful cinematography I have ever seen, and Graham Faulkner is just transcendent as Saint Francis. He apparently did not have much of an acting career after this, which is a shame because I felt he brilliantly conveyed the spiritual transformation that turned Francesco from the spoiled son of a merchant to a spiritual visionary who took the vows of poverty and chastity to preach love, compassion, and reverence for nature. The soundtrack with its title song by Donovan is also charming.
