Jerusalem

As one of great Faith in the Christian beliefs, I went knowing I would see and experience the mother land - Jerusalem, Israel. Growing up, like many, I have heard of the many stories of Christ Jesus and the many amazing works recorded in the Bible. As you can imagine, this was only a historic imagery I could only grasp through the retelling of events that happened many many years ago. So when I was up early this morning at 5:30am I wondered what I would do with my day off during the long Easter break. I looked up movies that I could go an watch and came across the Jerusalem 3D IMAX screening. This was surely a divine appointment for me to go and see this film as I had no intention prior to today to see this film nor go see a movie or even go out. I went on my own to this film and had never regretted the choice to make the long journey into the city to watch Jerusalem. It was an awe inspiring film with majestic panoramic views of Israel's beautiful landscape. The very opening moments of the intro over whelmed me and I was in tears through out the film as I was exposed to the wondrous splendour Jerusalem presented. I saw the ruins and monuments, the reconstructions of famous sites and buildings and also the people of Jerusalem. The history behind Israel was wonderfully narrated as I took in the realisation that this was the centre focal point of the 3 power faiths - Jewish,Muslim & Christian faiths are all rooted here in this Holy Land. I went away knowing so much in the 45min film and was equipped with inspiration and drive to one day visit Jerusalem,Israel. My heart automatically yearned for Jerusalem and I instantly fell in love with her grace and precious priceless value. I was deeply moved watching Jerusalem due to my spiritual ties to Israel and my strong love for Christ as this was the place he spent his last few days leading into the festival we celebrate, Easter. I encourage all to see who have the chance to view this on the big screen. A must see in my opinion. Thanks for reading. Hopefully I'm writing about My own experience about Jerusalem once I fulfil a dream to make a trip there and retell it from my own personal account.

My husband and I viewed this movie prior to visiting Jerusalem in March 2014. We loved this movie, and are going to show it for our annual family Christmas party. We are taking all of our children and grandchildren to Jerusalem in December. This will give everyone a chance to view the culture before we go. A must see!

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 ✌🏽

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.

JERUSALEM is a vivid documentary about how three faiths somehow manage to coexist in an exclusive piece of international real estate: a spiritual nexus of humanity. The film is only 45 minutes long, so there's scarcely enough time to go into the city's history. Even the portion on biblical archeology could be expanded into a multi part series. Basically, the filmmakers show modern-day JERUSALEM through the eyes of three young women - Christian, Muslim, and Jewish - as they try to explain why the city is so special to them.

The problem is - the young women don't get to explain why Jerusalem is so special. Individual sequences are ravishing, with a wealth of long tracking shots and a few astonishing digital recreations. The film itself, however, doesn't have much of a story or point of view.

Without a specific focus or point of view, JERUSALEM can seem like eye-candy; visually engaging, but emotionally remote.
