David and Goliath

..........If you have a hard time hearing a lot about GOD and such, pass on this at the local Googleplex and wander into another film. I hope it makes you happy. But, I would gently suggest you try this movie out. Be you a man (or woman) of Faith or not. You just might be surprised. And, you just might wish to spend a little more time with the Savior of the world. I often do not see movies like this, since I am a somewhat typical man who prefers big blockbuster SF or other action oriented films. However, I went to see this movie at my local multiplex yesterday on a date with my wife and found myself really enjoying the movie. The people attending were a mix of adults and teenagers, with about an equal mix of men and women. I met a couple of people I knew there and they seemed to have enjoyed the film.

David and Goliath takes you on an emotional journey that you will remember for a long time, thanks to the superb crafting of the film and sincere performances by the cast. The score is deep and haunting, this film is for the ages and will permenantly have a place in my heart. To me it is one of the best Christian film of the 2000's and quite possibly one of the best of all time.

The fact that this film has over 8 million views and thousands of great comments on Youtube is a testament to just how many people love this film, many viewers seem to have an emotional bond with the film, and I don't blame them. I only wish that I could view the film for the first time again, and experience that redeeming feeling of David and his brothers experienced at the end.

Ignore the negative comments surrounding the film and judge it on your own experience, the last half hour are especially beautiful. Watch this if you already haven't, and enjoy the masterpiece. 10/10.

10/10.

The story unfolds in unhurried fashion, with us being unsure of David's power for much of the movie, but with a gradually building sense of injustice at the way those in power in the system (GOLIATH) can treat him (and others) unfairly. The secret doesn't come at the end, but at about the three quarters mark, and brings with it a huge emotional kick. And then the story is allowed to make its own way into a gentle and perfect end.

This is, without any doubt, one of the most spiritually uplifting films I have ever seen.

God is upheld. The Bible is upheld. David is a Christ-type figure in that he was willing to sacrifice himself for others. Beautifully-told story.

I saw this film on Youtube where it has an unbelievable 8.7 million views.

10/10. One of the greatest of all time. I don't know where and how to begin even describing. The director is a master storyteller and director when it comes to historical movies and historical facts (see "Freedom" also). Incredible cast and music, cinematography and production, score and visuals, just everything about this movie screams "perfection of 21st century" and best way to welcome movie industry into 21st century. Score made me emotional and I hope that the sequel will be as good as the original. Absolutely phenomenal and epic Bible story on the greatest story of heroism for God.

All glory and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. My family also loved the powerful verse in the end from the Book of Psalms.

10/10.

Rating: A.

The previous guy was right - the film has like 8.5 million views on Youtube and tens of thousands of great comments.

These negative reviews are coming from the same people.

Flawlessly shot on location in Morocco and North Africa, the whole production binds together to bring the extraordinary Bible story into the realm of a believable and compelling study of human injustice and GOD.

Its greatest honor is giving glory to the Lord in every scene.

This is one of the best movie versions of a Bible story I've ever seen, and I think I've seen them all. If you're prone to tears at a film, take extra tissues, you'll need them. The theater I was in was a mass of sniffles through the end credits.

You can watch this for free on Youtube again. This is how generous the filmmakers are. Give them due respect.
