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.

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.

We rented the movie this evening after spending today touring the tip of Molokai, Hawaii where this story took place. The movie is an excellent supplement for the tour. Richard Marks, our tour guide, did not tell us that he appears in many scenes throughout the movie. He is the tall man who has his feet wrapped in cloth in many scenes. He told us that the movie existed and some background stories about the movie.
Anyone wishing to tour this beautiful site should make sure, in advance, that Richard will be their guide. He is an excellent guide and also one of the people who has Hansen's Disease. He is 72 years old (2002) and a dynamic person.

I knew nothing of Father Damien until I saw this movie, but after seeing it I immediately sought more information on him. I strongly recommend this movie for those who are curious about the saint or have a special devotion to him.
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.

- ट्रिवियाLeo McKern's final credited movie role. He makes an uncredited appearance in दी लार्ड ऑफ दी रिंग्स: फैलोशिप ऑफ दी रिंग (2001).
- गूफ़Father 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.
