Summary: Mary, Mother of Jesus
Review: The reason I found this film so inspiring is because unfortunately, Mary and I share something in common. We both had to watch our child take their last breath. Before seeing this flim, I hadn't thought much about the heart renching things that Mary had to endure, and through it all, she never doubted God plan for her life. She had complete trust in Him to see her through. Cherish your children each day, introduce them to Jesus Christ, tomorrow you may not have that opportunity.

Summary: Jesus & Mary: Strong, Wise Down To Earth Characters
Review: This may very well be my favorite Jesus movie ever. I think this movie has not been given the full attention nor credit that it deserves. The movie starts off showing how Mary was kind, wise and brave in spirit and thus why she was chosen to to give birth to and raise to manhood the Son of God. Nice too is the fact that Jesus while Savior to world is so very down to earth. Mary is respectful to Jesus because she knows he is savior to the world and yet Jesus is respectful to her because she is his earthly mother and the movie that great friendship as mother and son between them. What I like about this Jesus movie it that it is true to Scriptues, noting that Jesus was/is the Savior and Son of God..but ever so tactfully avoiding the the trinitarian vs. the unitarian issue. This is a great movie and I would highly recommend it.

Summary: This movie is beautifully done, and inspirational
Review: This movie is not only inspirational; but also educational. We believe that this movie should be made accessible to teen agers for their spiritual growth in the church. We intend to seek consent to donate this tape to our church for that purpose. We will always be in debt to Eunice Kennedy Shriver and her son and associates for their efforts which produced this masterful work. We felt as if we were living with the characters protrayed. We had a depth of feeling much deeper than the printed word. It was uncanny the emotional feeling this film brought to us.

Summary: mother of all
Review: This story is simply told and therein lies its strength.It's
not an epic film like "King of Kings" but does what it was meant to do inspire faith.It is unfortunate that some self righteous Christians never get enough of bashing Roman Catholicism and its beliefs and they call themselves Christians.

Summary: Nice Movie!
Review: This was a nice movie to watch but I thought it will be better. I found Mary in this movie not the Mary that we always, well most people thought she was, I thought of Mary as a person above everyone else, who don't judge, who don't talk much but listen and is always there for everyone but in this movie Mary is show as well like any other human, with her good qualities her faults, she a strong woman who not afraid to say what she thought and sometime I find her to juge to fast, like when she said, "Where you were, you coward, you didn't were there to help Jesus!" I find her harsh to said that when she knew of the prophecy that Jesus have to die for the sin of others. The movie past way to fast but I do find the actors good, the atmosphere was good, it put you in that time. Jesus act good, just like I imagine him to be, well Mary act good too but like I said it's not he Mary I grow up to imagine to be! Overall it's a nice movie!

Review: This was by far the best movie I have seen on the Blessed Mother.
To see in so much detail how she felt, and what she went through while Her Son was being crucified .I saw it 5 times so far,and I just love it.

Summary: Identity Crisis Jesus
Review: When a major network must start its film with a disclaimer that reads, "While dramatic license has been taken, we believe this film reflects the spirit and historical significance of the biblical story of Mary and Jesus," it is best to turn the channel immediately. The film begins with Mary fleeing from the Romans as they are attacking her village. As the story unfolds, an angel appears to Mary outside of the city to announce her pregnancy. The Bible says it was inside the city, but NBC must know better. Mary is then threatened with stoning by her fellow villagers, and Joseph comes to her aid, also not found in the gospel passages. After Jesus' birth, Herod tells his soldiers to kill all children six months and younger, another Bible inaccuracy. Further into the film, Jesus' family is returning from Egypt, Roman soldiers ride by, and Jesus remarks that Herod must be dead. Jesus is depicted as a teenager in this scene. So when did Herod die?
The next few scenes involve Jesus in the Temple. Mary and Joseph find him, scold the young man, and Jesus remarks that he must be about his Father's business. Biblically, that's an accurate portrayal, but the scene just prior to this is not. Jesus is attacked by a local bully, and he refuses to fight. After the confrontation, Jesus asks the question to Mary, "Why do I see these things (not wanting to fight because it solves nothing) but no one else does?" Either Jesus knew who he was or he did not. Throughout the film, this identity crisis is a major theme.
An hour into the film, Jesus is finally ready for ministry, or is he? Mary convinces Jesus to go on his ministry and be baptized by John. In the conversations between Jesus and Mary, Jesus uses the term "we" as if Mary is an essential component to his success. Shortly afterwards, Mary and Jesus are seen walking down a dirt road, and Jesus makes the bizarre statement that he had not heard God's voice for eighteen years. The last time Jesus had heard the voice was when he was in the temple at the age of twelve, but the Bible makes it very clear that Jesus walked in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). Jesus was not abandoned by God nor left alone as the film suggests. NBC adds to the theme of uncertainty by depicting Jesus as being fearful. In a night- time scene, Mary and Jesus are walking near a campfire, and they pause to converse. Jesus, visibly shaking and fearful, repeatedly asks the question, "Is it right? Is it right?" As Mary tries to convince him that the power that Jesus feels inside of himself, post-baptism, is an acceptable thing to have and he should use it as part of his mission (NBC, 1999). Clearly, this film has taken liberties beyond what is scripturally acceptable
