    An intimate, fascinating study, but strangely structured

    This is a surprisingly intimate look at some of Father Damien's experiences, but the dramatic structure of the film is often frustratingly fragmented.

    Scenes of the authorities on O'ahu struggling with how to deal with the amazing man and his demands on behalf of his community seem to have been shot very hastily, and they fit poorly with the more carefully conceived segments from Moloka'i. Even there, the scenes with Peter O'Toole seem poorly integrated into the progression of the story.

    Despite the participation of many top-flight actors and actual local victims of Hansen's disease, this film offers only fleeting, tantalizing glimpses of what could have been a tremendously powerful drama of the life of a man who may yet become an actual saint. In isolation, the leading performances are very fine, but the package failed to gel and the film is, finally, only a carefully-drawn series of vignettes.

    The Story of a Great Man

    I grew up in Washington DC , just a few blocks from the major U S seminary of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This was Father Damien's order. Many of the priests and brothers I met there had been stationed on Molokai. Although he had been dead for many many years, his spirit and memory were very much still alive there. For some reason I never knew about his movie until just recently. I see where many reviewers have scored it very low. I can that since it is not great cinema art etc.However, I judge it only by how much it tells me about St. Damien and how many tears I shed watching. There were many.

    Quite inspirational.

    While I hate schmaltzy inspirational films, I must say that "Molokai: The Story of Father Damien" doesn't fall into that category. Sure, it is inspirational...but there is no schmaltz...just the true story of an amazing man.

    The film is set in Hawaii during the 19th century. Leprosy has hit the islands hard and since there was no cure yet for Hansen's Disease, the sad suffering folks were dumped on the island of Molokai...essentially to rot and life like animals. Learning of their plight, the Church decides to send priests there temporarily...staying briefly but hopefully not long enough to contract the dreaded illness. Little did they know that the first man sent there, Father Damien, would stay...until he, too, was overcome by the illness after being there many years.

    It's obvious that the story must have been a labor of love to several actors. After all, Peter O'Toole, Leo McKern and Derek Jacobi didn't need the money and the first two actors were all but retired. And, I am glad they did, as the film was a nice end piece to their careers. Very well made, fascinating to watch and be sure to keep some Kleenex nearby if you watch it.

    Well worth watching

    This story is quite faithful to the facts of the life of this remarkable Belgian priest who chose to live in a leper colony while still a man in his early 30's even though he knew it to be a permanent assignment and a death sentence.

    The horrors of the leper colony were conveyed realistically while still giving a focus that would allow all but very young audiences to view it. The bureaucrats, both civil and religious, are well portrayed. -- (Derek Jacobi gives his usual fine performance in one of these roles.)

    This is a "must see" for anyone who has never heard the story of Father Damien or knows little about the leper colony on Molokai.

    Sad and slow but very moving

    I saw this in a film festival just yesterday. It was not really the sort of film I would go to normally (I'm not really into religious themes in film). I already knew a little of Father Damien's story, and I had a fair idea of how the story would end but I was glad I saw it just the same. I wouldn't say I "enjoyed" it because the subject matter was in many ways depressing but in a way it was an inspiring story. It showed what one man can do to improve the lives of 1000-odd suffering people that the rest of the world has all but forgotten. Damien had a will of iron and he needed it to counter the resistance of the government and his superiors in getting the help he needed.

    If this sort of theme appeals to you I'm sure you will appreciate the film, if you definitely don't like religious themes then it's probably better that you don't see it.

    • Trivia
      Leo McKern's final credited movie role. He makes an uncredited appearance in El señor de los anillos: La comunidad del anillo (2001).
    • Errores
      Father Damien is shown performing a marriage between a man and a woman who was previously married but has not had an annulment granted by the Catholic Church. This is absolutely forbidden in the Church and would make the new marriage immediately invalid and cause the priest who willingly performed the marriage and the couple to be considered in a state of mortal sin. Father Damien never did any such thing and would not have.
