Il libro di Daniele

The Book of Daniel may not have an epic budget, but it is well made and supported by a really good cast. The casting of the young and elder Daniel is very effective, with Robert Miano giving an especially affecting performance. The direction is assured, with a script that shows obvious understanding and engagement with the Old Testament, and which takes its time to fully convey Daniel's stories of the four Kings. A very good film that is well worth seeking out.

First I will let you know that I'm a Christian, but I'm also a huge movie fan and in my opinion most Christian movies are not that good.

The Book of Daniel isn't perfect, but I feel it is well acted, fairly well written and stays true to the story.

While there are no real special effects and it is a low budget movie, that doesn't make it bad.

Daniel is a person in the Bible that really hasn't had too many turns on the small or big screen, and this is a pretty decent attempt at telling his story and God's story of love for all people.

If you go into this movie with an open mind, instead of rejecting it because it is a Biblical movie, you may enjoy it.

Some of the reviewers for this movie seem to be prejudiced against a biblical movie production. Well, we live in such times where it is popular to dislike anything to do with the creator of the universe. But just like Daniel told the truth to the kings he served, this movie tells the truth better than any Hollywood production ever made. (even "The Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston.) The is the new #1 Hollywood biblical production. Filmed with excellent and prominent actors and actresses, celebrities and performers. A "Must See" for believers and non-believers alike. This biblical story stands on it's own, even on a tight budget. Bible stories do not require expensive special effects to convey the message. Bravo!!!

like many Christian movies, it is not a show but an invitation. an invitation to discover the roots of your/neighbor faith. an invitation to discover, again, the Bible not only as religious book but as answer to common problems. and basic virtue of this adaptation is the delicate measure, the force of images, the wise acting who gives soul to a story who represents more than a story. it is easy to remember the usual note, almost pathetic of religious films. in this case the things are different and the secret is result of performance of each actor who reflects in his character art to build map of spiritual grow-up. not a great film. only necessary. as invitation to see reality more than a game.

This account of the life of Daniel traces his encounters in Babylon with 4 Kings. Nebuchadnezzar the Great, Belshazzar the Foolish, Darius the Deceived and Cyrus the Shepherd. It is faithful to scripture and gives insight into the prophecies of Jeremiah and Isaiah as well as words on the lips of Daniel from the Psalms, especially in the Lion's den. Daniel gives us a great model and inspiration to how to live wisely and well in a secular society. His tact, respect and patience are good examples for those who serve in public office. Worth watching at any age and then to dig into the scriptures for the latter chapters of Daniel 7-12 which are not covered in this film.
