 Excellent, yet I wish it was a little better October 13, 2000

I just finished watching the movie this evening. I really like the movie. It is one of the more Biblically accurate movies I've seen on the life of David. The movie covers the period of Saul's rejection by God to Absolom's rebellion. However, it skips lots of things in the middle.The acting is at the same time wonderful and lacking. They do a great job in acting, yet they always seemed a bit reserved when it came to emotion. Events that would seem to be full of emotion were acted with a bit of monotone. Yet, this is a good movie. Set in Israel and hearing the blessed Name, YHWH, in a movie is such a treat! There are definitely anachronisms such as the battlements and 3 story houses displayed. They didn't exist at the same time. And you wonder why they leave certain things out that would appear to have made the scene more powerful. But all these critiques are trifles. It is still a great movie and I recommend it to anyone. The pace is good (considering the movie was made in the 70s) and it kept my attention. Some parts were absolutely brilliant. Parents, you'll enjoy this movie with your kids because there is little violence overall. Some suggestive places in dealing with Bathsheeba, but nothing that forces you to explain anything! If you want more action, I'd recommend Turner Network's David. It's also very good and has a bit richer/deeper acting.

This is a wonderful movie. The best part is the use of the Sacred Name Yahweh. When I started the video, the first word is Yahweh, and then from that point on it was a winner to me and my family. I hope that there will be others that I can view with my family that have the most important Name that any of us will ever know in it. Thank you Ylisha
