Title: The Story of Esther.... Sort of
Product review: I was glad I saw this movie for free on T.V. Now that I saw it I'm done. It was dramatic, and cinematic... but hopelessly flawed. It would have made a better picture book than a movie. It was cheesy, kind of like a forties bible movie; but with better costumes, sets and effects... and only slightly better acting. It was very unscriptural, with many of the changes damaging to both the characters and the overall story. Both were filled with unpractical holes. Esther in particular was played as a flighty, silly, goofy girl, who somehow still wins the heart of the king. The biblical Esther was not recorded as flighty, silly or goofy. She is portrayed as having a habit of going out alone after dark, something an unmarried girl would not have dared to do. There is a much better version out there, titled Esther, far superior in every way to this.
