Moving

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2005)

Don't let the average rating fool you! This movie is well worth a watch. In my opinion, this movie presents the most accurate and moving retelling of Christ's life I have ever heard. And what's more? The person who gives it doesn't speak a lick of Enlgish! He comes to understand through pictures what some still cant grasp through literature. Djimon Hounsou gives an amazingly convincing portrayal of a slave who, without a firm grasp of the English language, realizes the predicament his people are in and fights tooth and nail to preserve their freedom. Not to mention Anthony Hopkins and Morgan Freeman, two brilliant actors in their own right.
