Absolutely Wonderful

When browsing the reviews section for this film I was at first doubtful about the quality of the film. However, I took a chance and purchased the film.

It exceeded my expectations and will forever be included in my all time favourite movies. I found it captivating, charming, and inspiring. I loved it from start to finish and I recommend this film to anyone interested in watching a great movie with a good moral.

The classic movies are the best--the much loved Bible story brought to life!

This is a great movie that illustrates the importance of loyalty! Ruth goes through a life changing encounter with a Jewish young man. This is amazing as she is a Pagan priestess. He awes her with his descriptions of Almighty God and his love for her. They marry after her conversion and so does life forever change for Ruth. She follows Naomi her Mother in law to Bethlehem. Life is hard for them, they are poor but help comes from two relatives of Naomi. The young men now vie for her hand in marriage.

It is a great family movie with one exception- small children may find the sacrificial element of pagan culture disturbing though nothing is shown but only suggested. Reserve this movie for 10yrs and up (at least the first part).

Enjoy!

The Story of Ruth

Ketuvim "Writings" (Book: Ruth [Rut in Hebrew])
This movie has taken license in adding to the actual storyline of Ruth. An examples are; When the two Moabs claim to be kinsmen from the tribe of Reuben, or when she is married to Mahlon (her first husband) for a brief moment prior to his death, etc. The movie is well put together, but it does stray a bit from the actual writings. [see Ruth 1:16-17]

Good movie. I would recomment it.

Back when they knew how to do a Biblical Epic

The film takes the storyline of the Ruth from the Bible and fills it with lavish costumes and sets. The Moab temple scenes, the outfits worn by the cult they worshipped, etc. are all well done. The acting was all good, although it was surprising to see the actor who played Sergeant Schultz in Hogan's Heroes playing the King of Moab in this film. It was even more jarring to realize that he doesn't sound anything like his character on TV.

The only reason this movie doesn't get a higher rating is that it just never seems to "take off" or to pace itself. Nevertheless, definitely worth watching.
