Joseph and Mary (2016)

Biblical Truth Displayed in Fictional Blasphemy

[2/10 · 27 September 2016]

This film presents itself as a telling of Mary and Joseph, the Earthly parents of Jesus. However, in reality it focuses on a fictional character named Rabbí Elijah, who battles with his pledge to watch over the two sons of a Jewish man killed by a Roman soldier and their mother, the later death of those two sons by a Roman soldier, and the final confronting of said soldier for revenge. All of this while also being a close friend of Mary and Joseph, being present during the birth of Jesus along with being given foreshadowing wisdom by Jesus however never once being mentioned in the Bible under any reference. The only Elijah referenced with Jesus is the Prophet Elijah who would descend from Heaven to announce the coming of Jesus which was prophesied by the Prophet Malachi. Furthermore it displays the death of Joseph and visions he received at his death of what was still to come, both of which are not fact being that Joseph is last mentioned during Jesus' time in the temple at age 12. In all this is a complete work of fiction falsely advertised in the intent to intrigue a desired market. It is lucky to receive the 2/10 I am rating it.
