    Joe and Emma

    Naturally several aspects of the story of Founder Joseph Smith have been done by the Mormon cinema. This particular version of the story concentrates on his wife, his one and only wife as polygamy had not taken hold in the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You could in fact show a monogamous true love relationship between a man and a woman still in these early days of the LDS church.

    The work of her husband Joseph Smith is seen through the eyes of his wife Emma Hale Smith who survived him by many years. Emma is played by Patricia Place in old age and by Katherine Nelson opposite Nathan Mitchell who appeared as Smith in many films. Against the background of Smith's work in growing the church he founded, a simple and poignant love story is told from the time they met to the time Joseph Smith went to Carthage, Illinois to his death as it turned out.

    I think a lot of people can't quite wrap their minds around romance and LDS theology when they were polygamous. Polygamy was never meant to be permanent, it was a method of growing the church rapidly to be discarded when no longer needed. Or as it turned out in 1897 in order that Utah finally be admitted to the union.

    As is usual with LDS films I've found they are meticulously accurate in portraying the times of the early church in the Jacksonian era. The players are sincere and committed to their roles and the story.

    It's a good romance film as well and a lot more than LDS members can appreciate that.

    get off your high horse

    Like the summary says, some reviewers need to just shut up. If you did not like the movie then tell us why, don't waist our time with worthless rants. It was made by independent film people who focused on what THEY wanted too. Do you go on the Harry Potter review and rant about why magic is not real and talk about scientific theory to try and prove it wrong? No. because IT DOESN'T MATTER! If you are a member of the LDS church and it increases your faith as you enjoyed the movie then great. cause I notice that they are pointing out parts of the MOVIE they like. this is a MOVIE review not a random blog for you make unneeded comments. I thought the movie was a good story and I enjoyed it, It wasn't my favorite movie and I don't intend on owning it hence the 7 not a 10. but I did enjoy it.

    Excellent film

    This film was wonderfully done with a great soundtrack. Unlike past LDS historical films, where the focus is Joseph Smith or Bringham Young, this film is about Emma, her perspective, and how she saw things.

    It's narrative/conversation that Emma is having later on in life with her daughter Julia Murdock Smith, about all of the events that surrounded her and Joseph-thru *her* perspective.

    The film touches on all the controversial issues, and doesn't gloss over them.

    Whether you are LDS or not, you will appreciate this film, it is touching, honest and both heart wrenching and heartwarming.

    Go see it.

    :)

    I didn't think I'd like it, but I loved it!

    I really wasn't planning on seeing this movie, because I haven't always been impressed with the movies about LDS subjects put out by others besides the LDS church. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the entire movie. It was done in such a way that it kept one's interest, and also showed the depth of feeling that Emma must have had in her life with Joseph Smith. I thought it revealed the anguish that she felt in his suffering and her compassion for Joseph and their children. It also showed the happiness and intimacy they shared as a married couple. It touched on all the important issues that would have affected Emma. I thought the polygamy issue was handled well, in that not a lot is known about what went on at the time, and many of the stories that have been told about Joseph and polygamy are untrue or exaggerated. In the movie, Emma did say that it was the hardest thing they had to deal with, and I imagine it was. I'm not sure anymore could be truthfully portrayed, considering the controversial nature of the subject. I loved the musical score -- especially how the old hymns were scored. The cinematography was professional. As a woman, I thought the movie an appropriate portrayal of a wife, daughter, mother, and woman of faith.

    Inspiring and Inspired!

    Seeing EMMA SMITH: MY STORY in the theatre was a pleasant surprise! Who would have ever thought the time would come when a commercial theatre would be offering such an inspiring film as this one turns out to me. Professional on every level with special praise going to T.C. Christensen's magnificent cinematography, Merrill Jenson's perfect score (one that I hope comes out on CD), down to Sheri Ohman's outstanding costumes. Technically, in every way, this has a look that matches anything to come out of Hollywood. The performances, especially by Katherine Thompson (as the young Emma Hale Smith), Patricia Place (marvelous as the older Emma), and Nathan Mitchell as Joseph Smith, make flesh and blood people of Joseph Smith Jr. and Emma Hale who became his wife. There is a special feeling and beauty in seeing the restoration of the gospel told through the eyes of the woman who was called on to endure so much. This is a faith promoting experience that deeply touched me almost from the moment it started. The quality of the film matches that of the films produced and shown by the LDS Church (and that's saying a great deal), but has the advantage of a longer running time to explore and develop the love between Jospeh and Emma then could be done with limitations of a shorter running time. Gary Cook and T.C. Christensen have teamed up as directors and have been inspired to create a motion picture that I found to be truly inspiring! This is one of the finest films that I have ever experienced.
