Just saw a screening of the upcoming movie "The Nativity Story". I went to the movie very skeptical; had my guard up. This is the first "Christian" movie to be produced and marketed by a major studio. Would they follow the text? While not completly faithful to the text. For example, they have the Magi coming to see the Messiah before his is born when Matthew clearly states, 'After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem . . ." However, having said that, you will enjoy the movie very much. Much of the story is faithful to the text.
It is very well done. The acting is excellent. Keisha Castle-Hughes does a beautiful job of portraying a strong, believable Mary. The scenery is breath taking.I had goose bumps in the birth scene.
An absolutely stunning and faith moving film. Invite a neighbor or co-worker to see it with you. Discuss the differences in the movie and the Bible.
Five stars!
