Christmas with the Chosen: Holy Night

Christmas With The Chosen will instantly become a new Christmas Classic! I personally cut to the chase and fast forwarded to watch The Shepherd and The Messanger movies interwoven. It was SEAMLESS & INSPIRING. It had it all; past, present & future. All of Dallas Jenkins projects related to this The Chosen effort have been truly divinely inspired. You can literally see and feel it. Goosebumps galore! 👏🏿👊

So glad it was on Amazon Prime so I could get directly to the movie. 😀 Even though I'm a liturgical musician I wasn't interested in the co-mingling of the genres in this instance. There's a time and place to play holiday music but this is not one. I rated 9 out of 10 for that very reason. Fast Forward first 28 minutes and go back and listen at another time.

I loved the Chosen Christmas Special last year but this year there was little new. The intro by director Dallas Jenkins, the Bocelli performance, Season 4 trailer, monologue by Amanda Jenkins, and flash forward with Mary M and Mary (Jesus mother) was new, but almost everything else was a repeat from last years special including the musician performances (other than Bocelli). . Why was the monologue done by Amanda (directors wife)? Why not a recognizable and much loved cast member? I wasn't particularly wowed by viewing on the big theatre screen either. It would play just as nicely on home theatre TV's. Sorry but this performance just didn't do it for me.

I've been reading other reviews from people who obviously didn't listen to the creators talking about the event. It's two short films with a collection of Christmas music event. It's not a "film". It's a Christmas presentation based on the wildly successful series, The Chosen.

Of course there are previews of Season 4 and of course they're going to try and raise some money to stick it to Hollywood. People got to get paid to feed their families. The first 3 seasons were free!

I can't believe people saying they walked out in the middle of scenes and songs that brought me to tears. Maybe they should watch some Hollywood garbage instead of something so pure and full of Love.

Want Hollywood? Pay them. Want good Christ in Christmas entertainment? See this event and bring an unchurched friend. Or two!

This is a Fathom event and very well done. The movie itself is less than an hour. A highlight are the seven orchestras and bands performing Christmas music! Well know artists perform including Andrea and Matteo Bocelli singing "Oh Holy Night". Utterly incredibly beautiful! The Christmas story is tokd through the eyes of Mar the mother of Jesus and poor and humbled shepherds. Another feature are the two monologues that explain the reason and details of making this Christmas movie; it is a completely edited and remastered and restored rendition of The Messengers and The Shepherd. Christmas with The Chosen: Holy Night truly offers an enriching Christmas experience that will bless you!

The wonderful truth about this movie is it's focus on what Christmas is all about...the birth of the Christ child. The night sky effects where the shepherds were mesmerized watching the host of Angels knowing that something miraculous was taking place for all humanity to praise throughout all generations for the common folks and people of all classes and backgrounds is what is so humbling and fulfilling. This miraculous birth took place in common surroundings and not in a five star hotel is what was so beautifully portrayed here. The message is clear that Christ, the savior was born for all men as the three powerful kings came to a humble area to behold the Christ child...King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
