Movie Reviews of The Bible - Solomon
Movie Review: An Amazing Movie Based On Scripture - I had to go back to read I Kings and the Song of Songs To See What Was Accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bible - Solomon is an amazing dramatic look at the life of Solomon, most of which I remember from the Bible. It was beautifully done. The settings were gorgeous. The actors were well chosen.
As far as accuracy, I suspect there's a broad range, with some scriptural and some right out of someone's creative mind. It did put things in better perspective for me and I'll enjoy reading those stories in the Bible much more after watching it.
EDITED to say that I had to go to the Bible and read I Kings and the Song of Songs, just to see what was actually there and what wasn't.
I was amazed that so many things I had just skimmed over in the past when I read were so much more interesting now. They were real people and their relationships are a little easier for me to understand (and care about) now.
One amusing thing that I DIDN'T find in the Bible was elephants in the caravan of the Queen of Sheba. It mentioned camels, but no elephants. That makes sense to me because they were crossing the desert, which camels are equipped to do, but I don't think elephants could handle it. I may be wrong, of course.
I'm reading "Wisdom's Daughter" at the same time, a book that tells the story from first one character, then another. All of this together makes a study of Solomon stick with me because I'm reading about real people, knowing of course that both the book and the movie used creative license.
