Movie Review: The Bible- Esther VHS

I am a devoted fan of The Bible Collection Movies because they give a vivid and thorough story-telling account of the stories from the bible. Their version of Esther is breath-taking! From beginning to end-stunning!! You won't be sorry to buy this one!!

Movie Review: Esther - A film worth seeing
Summary: 4 Stars

This film is one worth seeing, especially if you appreciate Biblical films that are true to the Biblical account. "Esther" wouldn't get 100%, but it is basically true to the Scripture. Louise Lombard who plays Esther does a fine portrayal, believable. Mordecai is especially well done also. King Ahasuerus/Xerxes was not as believable for me, but who knows what he was really like? The quality of the film itself was good, with great backgrounds and costuming. It didn't come across as a low budget presentation. I'll be showing it to a group of women this week. We just finished studying the story of Esther and this will be a good follow-up to put "flesh and bones" to the story of God's gracious provision to save His people, the Jews, through one of their own who was in a strategic place(queen) at a strategic time (when the annihilation of the Persian Jews was imminent). Purim commemorates this momentous event every year amongst the Jewish people. Personally, I would choose this film over "One Night with the King" primarily for its accuracy, and it is well done.

Movie Review: Esther
Summary: 3 Stars

I received the product quickly and in good condition but I did not like the artistic license.

Movie Review: Much better than "One Night with the King"
Summary: 5 Stars

This is much more historical accurate than "One Night with the King" It does suffer from low budget for special effects but the acting is miles better. The lady who plays Esther, is truly a girl of her time, and not some ditzy girl who seems to be a little drunk on some wine in "One Night with the King" so her character's behavior makes us very hard to emphasize with her. This film is more true to God's Word which "liveth and abideth forever"

Movie Review: trusting in God
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie i must say comes straight out of the Bible. What i find fascinating in this story is the truth of how this women Esther had to leave her family to be chosen to marry a king whom she may only be with once in her entire life time. It has a bit of romance not to mention how handsome the king is. I incourage you to read the story of Esther to be able to get the whole concept of this movie because a miracle does take place with the Jews. It makes you realize just how powerful prayer is.

Summary of The Bible - Esther [VHS]

The biblical story of Esther, the Jewish woman who saved her people when they faced annihilation, is told in this production featuring British actress Louise Lombard in the title role and F. Murray Abraham as Mordecai, Esther's cousin and foster father. As a girl living under Persian rule, Esther was essentially kidnapped and taken into the harem of the king, Xerxes. The king, taken by her beauty, made her his queen, and as dramatized in the film, she found herself involved in a delicate balancing act between the ruling Persians and her own Jewish people. While this is a fairly elaborate production with a solid supporting cast, it proceeds at a relaxed pace and never quite takes off dramatically. But it does provide a solid telling of Esther's story, and if considered as something of a docudrama, it's successful. The story is clearly told of how the king's chief minister, Haman, had hoped to see the Jews annihilated, but thanks to Esther's intercession the Jews were able to defend themselves and destroy their enemies (events which are celebrated at the Jewish Feast of Purim). The production does provide much of the period flavor of ancient life, and the major facets of the story and portrayals of the characters coincide with biblical accounts. --Robert J. McNamara
