Title: Read Your Way Through This Short Film
Review: St. Anthony of Padua is my favorite saint so I was hoping to enjoy the story of his life. I was sadly disappointed. A the few books I have read on his life the beginning of this movie does not relate to the books. The people in the movie are speaking Italian so you have to read the English translation that scroll across the bottom of the whole movie very quickly. I believe they got some parts of the movie wrong for instance a young monk calls Antonio a nightingale but actually it was St. Francis who was the nightingale. St. Francis in the movie is called Francesco. The movie was very short and Antonio seemed to be angry the whole time that he could not be a martyr. They showed very little of his preaching and little of his miracles. They never showed that the Christ Child appeared to him. They left out so much of his story. The dvd is not worth buying. Buy a book about it him to get the full scope of the wonderful saint.
