One Night With The King Review

Okay, I decided to rent something with a plot line that is "known" to me, but since very little is done on Jewish Themed movies, I thought to watch it. At first, I thought it would be corny. But it lessened, and it's a shame this movie didn't get much publicity. I guess it's the way the press goes, they go after Jesus movies, but if a movie is done on a Jewish story of genocide, with Purim. It was a Fox Faith movie. The clothing was original, and the acting, while not named actors, did a very good job. A little corny in spot, but the person who wrote it, knew the story line. I'm not sure if it was historically accurate, because I don't know the history but just from Jewish story. They even had a prophet in the story! It was a great PG movie, for kids to learn about their background in Jewish stories. It's about Ester and Purim, and anyone who never knew anything about the holiday, they would realize that this is just as important as Hanukkah.

Thanks Fox for making it.

Films, Movies, and History Accuracy

I am a humanities major. I write and learned to write with history as an accurate picture of how people live, eat, and survive in the period in which they live. I know about the religious strife, I know about how people dress, what they read, the art of the period, and I know that at the end of the day, it takes more then an outfit to place a person in the right period. A period piece, whether or not its a "fun movie" or a "political drama" or a "historical epic" there needs to be attention to detail, and there needs to be more attention to detail. I am a MLS major, and I plan on hiring myself out for people who need to get research on films so that their facts are straight. I was a humanities major, and my specialities is the Baroque Period to the Ancient Classical Period, or more over Egyptian History, and Greek History. Most of my classes during my undergraduate experience was classical classes taught by Nikki Kantizos. I learned a lot about history from her, and I took as many classes as I could. I wrote a screenplay on the historical accuracy behind the Maccabees, not from the book the Maccabees. Anyway, I thought I'd put my two sense into films, their movies, and what they do in historical epics.
