Best movie of this year hands down!
the audience applauded
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Rebekah in this movie is cruel old psychic that beat slaves? Rebekah in Bible doesn't provide fortune-teller service. Where did the twist get this idea?Rachel refused to marry Jacob and ask her sister Leah to replace her? or it is Laban's idea and the tradition of marring Older Sister first? Rebekah's motive to ask Jacob to get the birthright is not because his talent of leadership. It is so dumb to even think this. Why Did God said "I am God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"? The author doesn't have clue what Bible is talking about. -Why Joseph is so grown up even before they go back to Esau?
It hates men and the Jewish faith,.Do you think they could or would pull this with any Muslim story....No, that would be rude and raciest. Jacob is seen as a joke, good women can help shape a great man for good or evil.The idea Jacob would just say okay to false gods..wtf, and i guess he was a mental midget for he could not do anything without a woman's okay, not like advice but her okay dear, yes dear.
In general I don't like historical stories because it often tells the story of warriors with no spirit, only narrating the quest of victory. But this story shows a great sense of tragedy. I really loved how it was telling the story of real people, the tragic events in a family that explain certain human behaviors, the sense of honor or respect. I found the movie conveyed a great sense of human spirit. Everything is really human, anyone would understand each character I think. The main character seemed also very real, the actress did an excellent job. I had the impression of seeing the story of a real woman, one that gets hurt, and overcomes the difficulties on her own. I didn't mind God was not mentioned, I found the focus on the people to be more relevant because it depicts how humans are. I really felt torn about the story of each character. It was so epic! Great tragedy.It also got me more interested in biblical stories, I might read more of it because of this movie. For example, I would like to read more about the story of Joseph. This movie and the original author have the merit to draw the attention on biblical stories and characters. I didn't even know Jacob had a daughter, choosing Dinah as the narrator gives power to the story and offers us an original and great angle to view the story. Thanks for bringing her to my attention.
I don't understand why the author even used the bible as a basis since the storyline doesn't even compare to what is in the small portion of Dinah's story in the bible. Drivel and boring. Started watching and thought "what? this is being called fiction because it is" Kept watching to see if there was any redeeming qualities. Storyline was boring; it was choppy. Jacob was misrepresented in much of the film and many of the story lines were changed to fit the narrative of the author. Old theme with Hebrew characters. Since I had taped them after watching most of episode 1, I went to episode 2 and fast forwarded through 75% of the movie. Watched the last bit and it had nothing of value in it either. Don't waste your time. Maybe if it had just been a story without trying to make people think it came from the Bible it might have been more palatable but I don't think I would have liked it anyway.
