About this product

Product Information

Following her depiction of youthful rebellion in the independent features THIRTEEN and LORDS OF DOGTOWN, Catherine Hardwicke takes an anomalous detour with THE NATIVITY STORY. A simple depiction of the Biblical tale told from Mary's perspective, the film lends realism and humanity to a story that is mythical in its proportions, with 16-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes (WHALE RIDER) delivering a performance indicative of her star potential. The scene is set in ancient Nazareth, where the people live in poverty, oppressed by the heavy taxes and iron hand of King Herod. Herod himself lives in fear of a prophecy that foretells the coming of a great king, and is constantly tightening his grip on an already terrorized land. Mary is a young, virtuous, fun-loving girl whose family arranges her marriage to Joseph, a man she hardly knows but who promises to provide for her. Mary is unwilling, but her rebellion is soon eclipsed by a greater fear when the angel Gabriel appears to her and informs her of her destiny as the mother of Jesus. Having taken a vow to remain pure for a year, Mary is afraid of what the townspeople will do to her when they hear of her pregnancy. She goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who also carries a child given to her by God, and who offers her support and comfort. When Mary returns to Nazareth heavily pregnant, Joseph is consumed with jealousy and anger, and only when he receives word from God in a dream does he agree to claim the child for his own. Eventually, Herod decides to take a census in order to find the Messiah foretold in the prophecy, and Joseph and Mary set off on the difficult journey to Bethlehem. The way the couple's relationship progresses lends heart to the tale, and comic relief is provided by the three wise men (Nadim Sawalha, Eriq Ebouaney, and Stefan Kalipha), making this an effective, inspiring, and joyful rendition of the well-known tale.

I watch this movie EVERY Christmas!
I was one of the few people who saw this movie in the theaters when it came out. Such a shame that it did not get the buzz and press like mainstream movies because it was amazing. Shot so beautifully and you can tell all the people who were involved really loved this movie and gave it everything they had. It is a story that is told all the time every Christmas but when you see it in real life with real life people being human 100% it blows your mind that GOD IS SO AMAZING! It is the best Jesus story every told.

It shows how the Messiah had been protected before he comes to life !
Personally I loved this movie. I am Evangelist/Protestant so all the glory goes to God. However, the emotion coming from actors is awesome. I don't think it gives too much credit to Mary. I saw it more like two poor newlywed parents trying everything to save their lives and the life that is about to be born. Our Messiah Jesus Christ !!! I even cried when I saw him born. We tend to forget that back in those days they didn't have any cars nor planes. So, trips would take forever and it was very dangerous. Hence, Mary nearly got lapided since she was accused of adultery. PS: The wise men are funny, kind of Fancy lol

Reason for the Season!
GREAT Christian movie that transports you to the time of Christ’s birth. The actors and cinematography are all top notch. Some dialogue and circumstances fill in the biblical account based on how the author imagined it would happen, but the basic biblical account and meaning jumps out and takes center stage! There is only one plot issue that I question but it does not impact the overall message and true Spirit of the movie. God made flesh to dwell among us and save us from our sin. That’s the focus. Appropriate humor, and tenderness and awe from the characters. I watch this movie in July as well as December!! One of my all time favorites!!

The title is simple and appropriate.
This film is powerful, beautifully produced, and the dialogue of the characters are often quotes of scripture. All Christian families should have a copy in their video library. The music is contemporary as well as ancient advent and christmas hymns.

Wonderful Nativity Story!
I didn't know any of the actors but that's probably a good thing as I wasn't thinking of them in for more rolls. Beautifully enacted. Blessings to all who watch it!
