Review of The Nativity Story (2006) by Tc S — 19 Dec 2015
People are missing the point. The movie expresses the moving realization that Mary was a simple girl that was chosen to have the most amazing job in the universe! Joseph was not chosen because he was a Hero/Warrior.
This is about the fact the the real story wasn't about hype and sensationalism. The actors and actresses reflect the beauty of the simple way life was at the time. Things were harsh and simple, not glitzy and spectacular.
I for one, was ecstatic that they didn't "Hollywood" this one up like they did "Noah"! Thank goodness they didn't turn it into a disaster / psycho killer / thriller like they did that one! Reality may be boring for thrill seekers, but maybe they should focus on the idea that Joseph and Mary were heroes of a different kind.
When was the last time you had to walk across the desert in hard sandals or ride a donkey while heavily pregnant? The simple beauty is well worth the watch!
