Movie Reviews of One Night with the King
Movie Review: Awesome MUST SEE! Events straight forward from the BIBLE! With additional scripture.
Summary: 5 Stars
One Night with the King was absolutely awesome! Everyone MUST SEE THIS FILM! I absolutely enjoyed this movie and intend to watch it again and again. It is so straight forward according to the Book of Esther accept at the end when they don't have but one banquet instead of two. However, where that is eliminated there is other scripture that is added to the movie from Genesis about Jacob and Rachel. It is absolutely wonderful! Highly Recommended!
Too me, it did not seem like there was not enough money for this movie to be made because they magnificently portrayed the Biblical days as beautifuly as they could. However, I was absolutely astonished with the beauty of the architecture from the movie as well as how wonderfully dressed Tiffany Dupont was as "Queen Esther". She was absolutely beautiful. The actors were absolutely amazing. The fact that the movie is so scriptural is so very wonderful. We need more CHRISIANITY FILMS that follows scripture. It is sometimes difficult to determine the actual lifestyle that one would have had in those days but I think they portrayed that beautifully.
Movie Review: An Inspiring Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is in essence a paraphrase of the book of Esther. Some harsh critics seem disturbed that it isn't a literal translation, but the essential elements of the plot are dramatically delivered in this inspiring and well-done work. Tiffany Dupont is gorgeous and gains audience empathy as she fits the image one would expect of Esther to a tee.
Luke Goss is a believable King Xerxes. He is tough, focused, and authoritative, without being overly offensive. Omar Sharif adds a Middle East flavor to the work and Tommy Lister ideally plays the role of Hegai. Although the film was shot in India, it has an ancient mystical "feel" to it visually that gives the appearance that one is being transported centuries back in time.
Mordecai's advice to Esther still rings true, i.e., that if she doesn't allow God to do His work through her, the work will still be done, but who is to say that perhaps she was born for such a time as this. The screenwriter captured the essence of Esther's decision when he had her deliver the lines, "if I perish, I perish." She lived for something bigger than herself.
Movie Review: Get the heart of the story ......
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is not 100% accurate to the letter of the Bible. Hollywood had to fill in to make it visually connect. They did a very good job at it. I believe all sound read the story in the Bible regardless if you see or do not see the movie. The movie was just good, inspiring, and encouraging. Some of the scenes make good teaching/discussion tools. One prime example is the scene where the King sees Esther leaving the garden and he thinks she is having an affair but she is learning of the plot against the Jews from her uncle. In turn, she goes to explain to the king and hears two people in his chamber and thinks the King has replaced her when it's the servants playing around in the King's chamber. That's a lesson in all that you hear and see is not what is appears to be. Another teaching example is the prepartion Esther goes through and the mentoring she receives to be presentable or worthy of being someone's spouse. Something that we need to think about doing with our not so mature women (independent of age). Like I said...Good movie. Family movie. Teaching/Discssion Tool.Movie Review: A bible movie that isn't a B role film or lacks accuracy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I started this movie with a wary mindset. I love movies and I do not limit myself only to spiritual movies, but on this occasion I was looking for a spiritual movie with biblical accuracy and I was not expecting to get it. This movie looked to hollywood and I was expecting an Ester love story. Instead it became quickly obvious that the creators of this film not only have read the Biblical book of Ester, but they also knew how to make a good movie. Some people will criticize the acting in the movie, or the sound. I on the other hand feel it's better to applaud the story telling ability in this movie, without compromising the true Biblical version. The creators did a great job with both. It's a notch above most other bible movies and I believe it is well worth the 2 hours you'll spend watching it. I want to watch the movie again, and it also makes me want to go read the book of Ester again. It reminded me how exciting the story of Ester really is, and it was nice to see a film highlight that, instead of hollywoodizing it.Movie Review: I loved this movie so much, I saw it four times!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This IS about the book of Esther.
I loved this movie so much, I saw it four times!!!!
It was the most beautiful love story I have ever seen in the biblical times and it goes to show that true love can exist no matter what.
I was captivated by the retelling of this story.
Usually when you think of bible stories you get see Charles Heston (may he rest in peace) standing on a mountain with gray hair and lightning behind him.
And you always think that there was a lot of suffering and ugliness, but this one was different.
True there was suffering. Don't all love stories have this going on?
But there was so much wonderfulness about this movie that I highly recommend it to all to see.
I can say (if you have never) One Night With The King makes you almost want to spend one night with your bible to read the story from Esther.
