Movie Reviews of Time of Favor
Movie Review: Complexities of Israelis society exposed, including a plot to blow up the Dome of the Rock and much more. Excellent.
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has a very unique and intriguing plot involving labyrinths of tunnels under Jerusalem, politics of Jewish settlements, complexities of Israeli society, yearning for the Third Temple in Jerusalem, two friends wanting the same girl and more. It is in Hebrew with English subtitles.
It's a story of two friends, religious Jews from a settlement. The first one is Menachem who was sent to the army for training in order to become a commander over a newly conceived religious company. There is a radical rabbi who stands behind the creation of the company made up of his students and followers. The other friend is Pini who is the rabbi's top student at the yeshiva. As a prize for his best student the rabbi plan to give his oldest daughter Michal to Pini for wife. The trouble is that Menachem and Michal have had an eye for each other for quite some time.
Well, things start when Menachem returns to form the company and train the first batch or religious soldiers. Michal seeks opportunities to speak to Menachem and spend some time with him. In the mean time she learn what her father has in mind for her and Pini. Pini is all on cloud seven and when he gets with Menachem and Itamar, the three friends head for underground tunnels in Jerusalem like they used to. They know the tunnels well and know where to go to a pool of water to bathe and how to get to the temple mound to take a peek at the Dome of the Rock.
Not to reveal to much of the plot and spoil the experience for you, let me just close with the fact that the rabbi's preaching to the soldiers in Menachem's company include talks of the Third Temple - the one that should be build in place of the Dome of the Rock. Oh and the folks from MOSSAD are having their own doubts about the rabbi and his idea of a religious company. There are a few holes in the logic of the plot, but the story is so unique that it is easy to overlook. It has a great plot, great story and is definitely worth watching.
