The Book of Esther
(2013)

Complete misrepresentation of Bible story
My girls, 8 and 10 refused to continue watching this film after 40 minutes of wasting their time in front of TV. The story of the film completely misrepresents the Esther story from Old Testament. The main accent of the story is about feminism, not obedience to God. Poor narrative continuity, film looks like a cheap TV serial Poor visual continuity, for example the one shot, CU in film reveals faces in shadow, the next one, MS reveals the same shot with faces well lit. Very poor casting. They could find a king who looks at least a little more Persian. Actually king's play looks weak. Narrative doesn't reflect visuals. Producer tries to pursue that Haman's daughter is ugly. However following visual (and even dialogue) she looks and thinks way better compare to Esther. There is much more that makes this film looking not professional...
