Too much Harlequin to little history
I went to see this film in hopes that it might be worth seeing. It was to the extent that it had a few good actors and ornate costumes. The problem was that there was so much focus on making it a romance. There is way to much of “Xerxes” bare (or scantily covered chest) and much too little of dramatic story, which is the main strength of the story of Haddasah (Esther). Most of the acting was mediocre and some big name stars got very little to work with. Portraying Greeks and the Jewish people of the time as “prodemocracy” is very much of a stretch. The story was muddled as was much of the history. There was very thin plotting and so many characters were introduced that one would have a hard time keeping track of them, or what purpose they served to the story.
Where were the stars
I went into the video store for a movie and when I saw a movie One Night With the King starring Peter O”tole and Omar Sharif I grabbed it as they are two of my favorite stars. Brought the DVD home and if I as much as blinked my eyes I would have missed the performance of these two wonderful actors. I did enjoy the performance of John Rhys-Davies in his forceful part. Overall I did not like the movie very much and with the misrepresentation of the stars of the movie I was disappointed. I believe that Peter O’tool appeared in one or two of the opening scenes of the movie and Omar Shrif was in 3 or four scenes of the movie. Compared to the blockbusters of the past in biblical movies this one lacked excitement or special effects. My suggestion to you would be to pass this one by not only in the movie theater but in the video store as well and save you dollars for something worth while.
