Movie Reviews of The Cardinal
Movie Review: Morality wins the day
Summary: 5 Stars
The Cardinal is a gripping portrait of a young man's rise from priest to cardinal overcoming obstacles of faith and politics. Always a rising star the young religious scholar has to face tough choices that test his faith. It is his decision to remain faithful to his vows even at the expense of his pregnant sister and his own personal demons. Despite politics of the Vatican he acheives the ultimate reward for his convictions. He avoids the hypocrisy of the church in matters of belief. He brings honor and honesty to a position that sometimes lowers itself to the least common denominator of expediency. It is a redeeming experience even for those with questionable belief in the church.Movie Review: Memories of my youth.
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember reading The Cardinal in high school when I was in study hall. I couldn't put the book down. Then the movie! Compared to the films of that time, The Cardinal held quite true to the book, making it a "Must See". I went to see it seven times, and finding it on DVD at Amazon was beyond belief, as I had thought it was a lost film. The quality is quite good, Tom Tryon was stiffer than I remember, but played the roll well. The cast was outstanding, most of whom are gone now. Ahh! Memories.
Movie Review: The catholic faith and the challenges of the princes of the church
Summary: 5 Stars
Though this is a work of fiction, it is a well researched story on the catholic faith and the trials and tribulations of the catholic priesthood. It provides minute details of the efforts and frustrations of the American cardinals to participate in the election of th Pope owing to distance and constraints on travel and time during a period when travel to Rome took weeks.The film provides a good insight into the training of the priesthood. A must see for those wishing to learn more about the catholic faith.Movie Review: An Ecclesial Epic...
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Cardinal" is an excellent film. It covers the life of a young, intelligent American Priest who goes through various personal and societal challenges and eventually ascends to the Cardinalate. This film is very modern with the issues it addresses (abortion, racism, etc.) and the characters are not one-sided. Tom Tyron plays a very human Priest who struggles at times to be obedient as a Priest yet his fidelity and orthodoxy carry him through, a testament to his character.
Movie Review: REFRESHING
Summary: 5 Stars
After so many years I wanted to see the "Cardinal" again
and it was refreshing to watch such a good movie with quality and moral.
I am glad I purchased it because now I can watch it any time I want.
I highly recommend this movie, we have lost in today's liberalism what
is right or wrong and not to respect commitment and this movie shows
that you should respect commitment and be true to your belief.
