I watched this video and followed along in my bible. It follows the word of god exactly. Way to go. It almost brought me to tears. My kids loved it. I would highly recommend. A Must see.
Top of the Line Production! June 6, 2003

This is absolutely one of the best produced and acted Bible stories around. It's accuracy, acting and pacing set a new standard for Bible-based productions. Bible scholars will not be offended, and movie buffs will not be disappointed. It tightens my throat at the end every time. I strongly recommend this for your Bible movie collection.

This WONDERFUL film is a total treat on every level! I admit my reason for the first viewing was strictly as an enthusiast of films set in ancient Egypt. On this level, the film is probably the best I've seen to recreate what that era must have really been like. The sets and costumes have a complete feel of reality, unlike the many "Hollywoodized" Egyptian ventures. But, that's not the reward I got by the end of the film. It's as much a tear-jerker as the old Ross Hunter/Lana Turner films! And, the performances, especially that of Paul Mercurio in the title role, (WHY don't we see more work from him?), Martin Landau as his father Jacob, Ben Kingsly as the Egyptian over-seer Pontiphur, and Lesly Ann Warren as his wife, are exceptional! There is even a most erotically charged scene or two between Pontiphur's adulteress wife and a scantily clad Joseph. Most everyone already knows the story. Joseph is the favored son of his father, inspiring lethal jealousy from his other sons, Joseph's brothers. They conspire to get rid of Joseph, but can't bring themselves to actually kill him, so they sell him into slavery. He ends up in Egpyt and, over the years, thanks to his talent for explaining the meanings of dreams, rises to a position of power second only to Pharaoh. Circumstances reunite Joseph with his brothers, although they don't know who he is. The revelation of his identity to them and his reunion with his father will touch the heart of anyone who has one! Originally shown as a 2-part TV mini-series by TNT a few years ago, I'm eagerly awaiting the DVD release - uninterrupted by commercials, and including a making-of featurette. Don't let this jewel get by you!

This was one of the best movie from a Old Testament Biblical story. The only problem with this is the nude scene when "Joseph" was nude in the water. I think this could have been left out and the story would had been perfect.
it was a good movie November 17, 1999
