Joseph (1995) (2pc)

The disappointment with this movie was its over-focus on him and Rachel. The lessons God was teaching him were kind of talked about, but not focused on. The non-Scriptural parts, though, were pretty consistent with early Near Eastern customs and not contrary to Scriptural understanding. In that way, it was very good.

If you choose to watch this movie, you won't find yourself wishing you hadn't. It is a good movie and well produced. Just be sure you don't base much theology on it. ;-)

The movie is a solid PG movie.

This movie is brilliant. You must buy it immediately. The only bad thing I can say about this movie is that some scenes should probably be screened before being shown to very young children. An example of this is a scene where Joseph is bathing and his master's wife enters the room, reaches into the water and feels around, and the phrase "Come...lie with me!" is spoken twice. Other than that, go for it!


Brings a tremendously emotional perspective to his story.   December 19, 2001

One of the most oft recounted stories of betrayal and redemption of all time, that of patriarch Joseph at the hands of his envious and spiteful brothers, is retold once again in this film. The film's greatest contribution to the story is the deep emotion that it conveys. Viewers will actually feel the loss, the betrayal, the hopelessness, the anger, the love and the joy that these characters experience and convey. Less overt but still present are the supernatural interventions by Joseph's God, a pivitol element of the story and certainly not lost in this picture. The production is simple yet effective; neither flashy nor flaunting, it simply tells the story of how God acted in the life of one family whose descendant would one day change the world forever. Highly recommended and deeply moving.

Many people at our church have watched this video and we all agree that it is really excellent. True to the Bible story, but with interesting possible interpretations of the character of Potiphar and Pharoah. It encouraged us all to read the Bible story again to compare it with this film. A must-see for Christians!


Unbelievably AWESOME!   March 1, 2006

This movie is a must see. Oh my gosh, I'm still breathless. The characters and the depictions were so close to the scripture until it was unbelievable. I grabbed my bible just to follow along with the movie. I particularly love the way that the story regarding Judah and his daughter-in-law is placed smack dab in the middle of the entire Joseph story. Initially from just reading the bible I couldn't quite understand how a portion of the scripture would focus on Joseph, then the focus is taken immediately off him and it's placed upon Judah and Tamar. Then it goes immediately back to focusing on Joseph. God's written word is obviously trying to make a point and show a comparison. The movie grabbed even the smallest details from the scriptures; for example the stranger in the desert that suddenly asks Joseph who he's looking.

I purchased a used movie that was in SUPER, Good, like NEW shape and to boot, the movie was inspiring, educational and so real.

It's a must see .........
