The Bible Streaming.
Movie Title: The Bible The Bible is available for streaming or downloading. |
This film is entertaining on many levels, and if you appreciate good art direction, you’ll enjoy this film.
The cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno, and the classical score by Toshiro Mayuzumi are also superb.
Outstanding are the first 15 minutes, with director Huston narrating a mix of verses from Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 (KJV), and I have a special fondness for the sprawling “Tree of Knowledge”, with its strange looking white leaves.
Other favorite sections:
The great Richard Harris, fabulous in a highly choreographed telling of the Cain and Abel story.
The animals going into Noah’s Ark, with its wonderful music, is a delight for kids of all ages.
The Tower of Babel, as an awesome ziggurat, with Stephen Boyd looking simply stunning in exotic makeup.
Peter O’Toole as the Angel, always a fascinating actor, and even in a small part, a scene stealer.
Yes, it’s abysmally slow in parts, especially in the final Abraham section, which could have used some serious editing. A half an hour could easily have been cut from this portion, and also, this is where most of the stilted dialogue can be found…but nevertheless, even though it dwindles as the film progresses, this telling of the first 22 chapters of Genesis is one I’ve seen numerous times, and am sure to view again.
My tape is unfortunately, on the dark side, but still a visual treat at its best.
Legendary director John Huston’s “The Bible…In the Beginning” is something of a mixed bag. Though undeniably reverent and generally (though not totally) faithful to the original Scriptures, Huston’s film is ultimately epic in scope but too often cold and unmoving. There are certainly some fine scenes, particularly in the Creation , the story of the Garden of Eden (Adam and Eve’s storm-shrouded exile from Paradise is perhaps the most powerful moment in the whole film), Cain and Abel, and an especially moving interlude between Abraham and only son Isaac in the ruins of sinful Sodom. But Huston fails to make the movie emotionally appealing on a consistent basis, so that what should have been an enthralling picture is merely adequate–which, after all, is not so bad. The cast is very powerful, featuring Richard Harris, Ava Gardner, George C. Scott, Peter O’Toole, and Huston himself as an endearing Noah. If only Huston had let his performers live a little on camera, this might have rivaled The Ten Commandments. As it is, the whole is respectable but flawed, too passionless and slow-paced to match The Ten Commandment’s grandeur. Even so, “The Bible” does bring the opening chapters of Scripture to life, and if this movie is not thrilling, it is nonetheless enlightening.
