Review of Mary, Mother of Jesus (1999) by Adrienne S — 31 Jan 2006
I had not expected much other than a heavily religious movie in this. As you probably already know, however, if it has Christian Bale in it, I have to own it. So I bought several of his movies recently.
This being one of them. And I was pleasantly surprised to find that this movie was really quite good! It is the story of Mary and what it was like to be the mother in a situation where her son was being tortured, first internally and then externally.
The relationship between mother and son was really touching and I cried when the mother cried for I knew I would never be able to handle it if my own son had to go through that. Yes it is a religious movie, but that is not the central message here.
It is more about Mary and her plight. Very very good.
