Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the name of a city which is the site crossroads of three continents, as well as a three-dimensional social with three important religions, each of which follows its customs. In this regard, Daniel Ferguson has created a forty minute documentary on the city and examined the nature of this city both historically, geographically and religiously. The film has been technically very robust and we have seen beautiful, meaningful images always with a strong dialogue. The documentary deals with the theme of the project without any tendency and follows the views of three Jewish, Christian and Muslim girls respectively. Religious and building ceremonies, as well as religious celebrations and holidays, are well depicted as if they left the viewer in the same place. The fascinating documentary evidence of Jerusalem from a particular angle suggests the peaceful coexistence of their masses as if they have learned how to live their lives in the vicinity. The selection of three girls from the perspective of their views points to the future of that place. They are a peace-loving generation who demands tranquility with love for their land.

I have visited this place i must say amazing city one of the oldest. Nothing like this modern and old structure wow movie shows all sites of city simply amazing ✌🏽

Watching this as a video on a television, as I did, probably meant it wasn't as impressive as it would have been in a theater, but it was beautifully photographed.

It presented a reasonably even-handed and, as far as I know, accurate portrayal of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities residing in Jerusalem. It was a decidedly superficial and elementary presentation. I'm not sure who the intended audience was, though the approach suggested it was aimed at school children or possibly as a tourism promotion.

There was no reference to any of the difficulties faced between the communities, at least until the conclusion when a vague mention was made of historical conflicts and a hope that seeing the commonalities and shared faith of Christians, Muslim and Jews might eventually be considered more important and valuable than the emphasis on differences.

Overall it was nicely done, but very superficial and lacking any depth. I doubt many people would come away motivated to work for peaceful coexistence, though maybe those who are open-minded will better understand that Jerusalem of all places ought to inspire peace rather than conflict between the three major Abrahamic religions.

Jerusalem is the kind of film usually displayed on shopping center to advertise the new flat or curved television set. It's an undeniable graphical masterpiece as every shot is done with such precise cinematography. Its frame, composition of scenery, the contrasting shadow and lighting, one can take a random screenshot and it would be an impressive work of photography.

The documentary takes audience through walks and lives of the holy city's citizens. It mainly tells the culture of three different major religions from perspectives of young women. They depict the city and its meaning to them, both personally and culturally while Benedict Cumberbatch narrates how the place came to be.

It's a grand view of many corners and landmarks, taken in such angle that it is simply immersive. The high rise scene is gorgeous, meanwhile the first person perspective, especially when the camera walks through gates of houses, mosques or churches, is intimately welcoming. Every shot is taken with purpose and they are never out of focus, it offers a steady pace throughout the entire visual marvel.

Granted, it doesn't cover much of the more bloody history, yet this is meant for a testament of human cultures and celebration of life. It's simply a marvelous display of excellent cinematography, regardless of one's faith.

I really enjoyed watching this movie ,it was magnificent the camera work , the colors , everything was perfect . in my humble opinion this movie must be divided to a parts , because it's about the most holy city in the world which had longest history even before abraham's religion , so you can't summarize this long story in 44 minutes .
