abraham | Year: 1994 Directed: - Joseph Sargent Actors/Actresses: - Barbara Hershey - Richard Harris A good movie, generally faithful to Scripture This is a good movie. The movie covers the period shortly before Abraham's calling by God to his wandering to Egypt and finally back up to Canaan. It also tells the story of Lot as a sub-plot. It then concludes with the birth of Isaac and Ishmael and the offering of Isaac. Scripturally, the movie is pretty sound. Their artistic license was not distracting from the Scriptures as happens sometimes in other films. From a production point of view, it is very well done. The actors are good and even know how to show emotion (I've seen too many Biblical movies where the actors talk in some strange distant tone of voice). Lots of action, too. This movie is definitely PG-13. It portrays some animal sacrifices and war between the four kings and Abraham, among other scenes. Entertaining, accurate, educational and stirring The movie is an extraordinary portrayal of the life of Abraham. It's entertaining, accurate, educational and stirring. In a world filled with gods you can build, see, hold, and collect; Abraham's trust in and obedience to the invisible God is inspiring. The up and downs of the life of faith are wonderfully depicted. The emotional aspect of Old Testament animal sacrifice is explained in a way that theological textbooks could never rival. Richard Harris is brilliant as the patriarch Abraham. Barbara Hershey makes a very believable and winsome Sarah. The costuming and scenery are outstanding. I found only minimal disagreement between this portrayal compared to the Biblical account, the culture of the time, and the ancillary facts of history. I would highly recommend the movie "Abraham." Abraham is one of the very best movies from Turner Home Entertainment's excellent Bible Collection. Running time 150 minutes. Faith Based Movie Authentic faith based movie. The writers, producers, and actors, demonstrate deep insight into the faith and obedience based rewarding life of Abraham, and why he is said to be, "God's friend." Viewing this movie in private, over and over, has significantly developed and strengthened my faith and belief in God. For a limited budget, it is nevertheless, an outstanding movie.
