Joshua

The film "Joshua" was a pure delight.

It was such a refreshing change from the junk that is on the screen today. To see a movie with no swearing or sex was a refreshing change.

I loved the movie as did my husband. It made me cry for joy.

There was a beautiful message to this movie of hope and love.

The first time I had seen it I was at first a bit perplexed as to who Joshua really was. It didn't take long for me to figure it out, and when I did I cried with absolute joy.

What a treasure this movie is and one that I recommend everyone to see.

This isn't a movie about the end of the world or the second coming. There is no violence and minimal character development. Yet, this film is captivating. What if Jesus were to come back as a human being? Would he be recognized? Would he be more easily accepted? Or would the same prejudices and arrogance lead to his rejection?

That's the premise behind this movie and the novel by Joseph Girzone. It's not as good as the book (no real confrontation with the Vatican in the film), but is still a film that touches me. I find myself watching it time and again just because it's special and I can't quite put my finger on why.

So watch it and decide for yourself.

That's the one word to describe what was an amazing movie. I watched it last night on DVD with my family, and it was phenomenal. The script allows you to bond with the characters, to grow to love them, and to care about them. The visuals are amazing, and the acting spectacular. It's just a really great movie and I wish I had seen it in theatres. I was completely blown away, and hope to see the movie again!

The character Joshua is just amazing, and wonderful portrayed by the actor. It was a great job. I had tears rising to my eyes in parts, and laughter spilling out of my mouth at others. The music was great, and the message phenomenal. From my point of view as a Christian it was just amazing. The little symbols throughout the movie were amazing. The heart, the glass. It was all just amazing. The healings of so many people's hearts, minds and souls. It was just amazing.

Please see this movie. You are truly missing out if you don't. I've seen some Christian movies, and this one is the best I've seen yet. It just touches your heart and soul in so many ways. God's love is so awesome!

It's a movie that everyone can appreciate and enjoy, and it doesn't utilize violence, sex, drugs, or explicit language to accomplish that. I love this movie, and I hope you will too!

The purpose of the film is clear: portray what Jesus would be like if he was doing his ministry today. How Joshua treated the people around him, how he lived his life, the miracles, how he spoke to blasphemers, his enemies, and everything, it was a great portrait of what we know and imagine Jesus to be like.

The film crossed all of the denominational boundaries - reaching to evangelists, revivalists, Catholics, and others - with the message of God's love. And the film did a great job of using Tony to portray what Jesus' love would be like today.

What you can take away from this film is a glimpse of what a Christian should be and should portray. As a Christian, your goal is to be more Christ-like. One of Christ's main teachings was love and he demonstrated that in his ministry. This movie gives you a glimpse of one of what an outward appearance, evidence, of a Christian should be. I mean, doesn't make sense that a Christian should be nice, friendly, loving, helpful, and show humility?

I think the movie did a great job showing that. As for the miracles of the movie - they were similar to stuff from the gospels. Take that with a grain of salt. This movie isn't about the second coming of Jesus or retelling the Jesus story. It's a fantasical conjecture to the question of "what if Jesus came to earth again to reiterate His message and work? what would that be like?"

This movie isn't supposed to be deep or evoke something like the Passion. This movie is supposed to make you stop and evaluate, take stock of yourself - to invoke in your heart. If the movie stirred your heart, then you should seek to find out more about this Jesus.

As for the music - according to the first commenter who is clearly not a believer - the music is secondary. The movie featured Third Day, a pretty well-known CCM music band. The music served its purpose.

Whoever the first commenter was, he/she missed the point of the movie entirely. He/she might not even be a believer, or is a believer who is so caught up with him/herself that he/she has no idea what he/she is talking about. The first commenter used the word blaspheme - stop using such big words, you're giving yourself a headache!

Don't miss this film. Let the message speak to your heart.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film,It carries a message of love and hope.

It's the story of a simple carpenter and his unconditional love for all people no matter their race, colour or creed.

It was well acted by good actors and when F Murray Abraham said "Oh my Lord", a shiver went up my spine as it did when Joshua said "Peter, do you not know me?" to the Pope.

A nice wholesome film for christians and non-christians alike.
