DVD Reviews of One Night With the King
DVD Review: One of the best !
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully done. The movie comes alive with breath taking scenery, exquisite costumes and actors who take you back in time to a place where the greatest love story ever told unfolds.
DVD Review: Overdone!
Summary: 2 Stars
I relish in movies based on the Bible that are both true to scripture and historically accurate. The good news is that this movie was, for the most part, was in accord with the Old Testament Book of Esther; however, the production itself was more of a Hollywood extravaganza than one that accurately depicted the dress and lifestyles of the historical period. The King looked as if he was "in drag". Perhaps my grandchildren best described it by saying it was "cheesy". My wife did like it, so maybe part of my reaction is just a guy thing.DVD Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
We had studied Esther and the risks she took for her people in Sunday School and I wanted to know more about her. Someone in the class said they has heard of this movie so I searched Amazon for it. Of course I found it and purchase it. I thought is was such a wonderful story of a womans life and belief. I say story but I know it was true. I have watched it three times and will probably watch it more.DVD Review: EXCELENT MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
REALLY BEAUTIFUL, THE BOOK OF ESTHER ITS BEATIFUL, we thought long and hard, it's nice to have IN OUR LIBRARY FOR OUR CHILDREN to see.DVD Review: majestic
Summary: 5 Stars
I must agree with other reviewers of this movie. While some liberties were taken, they are not enough to detract from the beautiful story as it is told in the Bible. I love the majestic feel of the movie--at some points, my heart swells with joy; at others, I want to bow in humility at the greatness of God and the knowledge that He holds our times in His loving hands. This movie makes me appreciate the Bible account even more. And as for its success as a movie, I think my 13-yr-old daughter said it best. As the movie ended, she looked over at me, sighed, and said, "This beats Cinderella any day." So true.
Description of One Night With the King
One Night with the King is a sweeping epic about Hadassah, the young Jewish girl who becomes the Biblical Esther, Queen of Persia.Despite her position, Hadassah's life is in danger, as the state has decreed that all Jews will be put to death. Defying warnings to remain silent, however, Hadassah struggles to save her people, evens as she seeks to win the heart of the king, in this exciting and inspiring story about destiny.
The moving biblical tale of Esther--a humble Jewish girl who saved her people from annihilation and won the heart of the handsome Persian king Xerxes--is the subject of One Night with the King, a lush ode to one of the Old Testament's most inspiring women. Esther, played with spark and confidence by Tiffany Dupont, could perhaps be said to be the first career woman to "have it all"--while also serving her people, and God. The film, shot on location in India, has the feel of the great epics of the '60s--a sensation underscored by the appearance, in small but pivotal roles, of both Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole. (Even Raiders of the Lost Ark's John Rhys-Davies--"Bad dates!"--echoes earlier desert adventures.) But the film belongs to the willful Esther, who navigates among war, bloodlust, persecution, and terror with the strength of knowing she's serving the Lord, and her people. If the film has a few anachronisms--including the young Esther's suitor, who has blonde streaks and a surfer-dude delivery ("The market was rilly busy today")--its heart and its focus never waver. Fans of biblical tales and well-made drama for the entire family shouldn't miss it. --A.T. Hurley
