Movie Reviews of The Bible - Esther
Movie Review: Esther A Wonderful & Powerful Vision of A GREAT WOMAN
Summary: 5 Stars
As I've said in some of my earlier reviews I've been fasting TV & Movies but this one is worth my time. I'm giving it *****Five Stars because it deserves it. The actors and actresses bring out the best of each actor. The scrip is in good order for those who want to line up the DVD to what has been written in The Old Testament.
My degree in Art challenges me to look at the richness and harmony of many aspects of this movie from the production, introduction, Narration and overall presentation of the movie. Well put together and even more important inspiring.
The sets, the wardrobes, jewelry, animals and even the look of the characters is lovely and well put together.
Great color harmony and a rich sense of color balance as we observe the use of color in the forms of taupes, grays and muted baiges, pinks and browns. But as the movie moves the use of color inspires and engages us to flow with the movie. The concept rolls out well in terms of moving us through the story of Esther to help us see what is taking place. This is an educational movie and one filled with deep emotional value.
Leading us from Esther the cousin of Mordeci who was left in his custody to Esther the Virgin who must learn how to prepare her self to go before the King was well put together. We get a picture of what challenges Esther must have faced in order to get ready to become Queen.
Another thing I like is the depth of a story that has been told over and over again as it relates to the Jewish people. We see that even in this historic depiciton of the Jews they are being persecuted and mistreated again for some of the same negative connations that people still have in our day and age thousands of years later.
But the power of the story of Esther is rooted in how Esther, Mordeci and Ezra have a deep faith in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. They keep their faith even in their heartfelt pain and struggles of not knowing how they will survive a decree that can not be reversed.
If you want to get a movie that is rich in historic and epic proportion get this movie "ESTHER" it's a wonderful movie.

Summary of The Bible - Esther
Following the conquest of Babylon the King of Persia gives a banquet for his people at which he requests the presence of his wife Vashti. As she refuses the King's demand Ahasuerus disowns Vashti and goes in search of her replacement. In his harem he meets the young girl Esther who immediately captivates him with her charm and beauty. Unaware of her Jewish heritage King Ahasuerus falls in love with Esther. Esther then reveals to Ahasuerus that she is Jewish and asks him to show her people mercy because of a planned genocide of the Jews by the King's right-hand man Haman. In doing so she saves the lives of many innocent people and paves the way for their return to Jerusalem.System Requirements: Running Time 91 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 031398745525 Manufacturer No: VM7455DSimilar DVD Movies
