"Joseph" is a Biblically sound portrayal of one of the greatest characters in the Bible. This movie has brought to life Joseph, Jacob, the loss of Jacob's beloved Rachel, the jealously of his brothers and God's blessings on Joseph as he remains true to "his" God while a slave to the Egyptian Pharaoh. In a time when Hollywood seems to have reached an all time low with the quality and content of movies produced, Turner Classics comes shining through with another in its series "The Bible Collection." Ben Kingsley as Potifer and Paul Mercurio as Joseph make the PERFECT cast members. Martin Landau BECOMES Jacob and we feel his pain and debilitating sorrow with the loss of his beloved wife and then son, Joseph. I cannot say enough about this movie. My husband, who refuses to watch most movies, has gathered our family together for 3 hours, 4 different times to make this a family event. WE ALL BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE! Not only a must see but a MUST OWN! Enjoy God's story.Read full review
What can I say that I havent already? After Abraham, Isacc, and Jacob also called Israel came Joseph, one of twelve sons from which come the twelve tribes of Israel! Many of you will know these names because you have seen the breastplate worn by the high priest which has twelve stones on it, one to represent each tribe. We also refer to Jesus our Lord as the Lion of Judah. In Israel's history the kingdom was divided into two kingdoms, one called Israel and the other Judah. Well this is a wonderful portrayal of the life of Joseph and is again accurate to the Bible. I only hope they keep making more of these wonderful films.
This particular movie of "Joseph" has been my FAVORITE movie for over 10 years! As Christians know, stories of the old testament were for us and I can't count how many times I balled as the Holy Spirit would well up inside me reminding me of my own life. Times I've failed to trust God, and times that I did trust Him. The examples of the favor bestowed upon Joseph for his faithfulness is such an encouragement and call to all of us, that if we would just obey God in any circumstance, no matter how hard or impossible it seems, we will find victory in the end. When Josephs heart is broken over and over, I could not help but to cry with him, and eventually, in my own walk, I too, did not let circumstance alter my faith. I learned to live with joy and peace in tribulation. "Yet will I praise Him, even in the mist of the storm"! I hope this is what you were looking for in a review.Read full review

The title says it ALL! There is NO replacement for reading the word of God. However, this film will cause you to experience moments of anguish to joy! It will undoubtedly move you to tears of sorrow and of joy. It is made so well that it draws you in the more you watch as if you are actually journeying with the character of Joseph, experiencing what he does. The cast is superb. This movie version of the story of Joseph found in the book of Genesis Ch 37: 1 - 50:26). is going to teach you about the word of God as it pertains to one of the best stories in the bible...and the best part about it is that it really took place and you will feel a part of it! God is awesome and Jesus was with Joseph as He is with us all if you choose to sincerely believe! God speed!

Loved this video. It’s an in-depth retelling of the story of Joseph. Also, it’s the American format. All of the other vendors offered the PAL European format which won’t play here.

This was well done. Of course, Kingsley, always make a movie better! Some of it is not suitable for children...some graphic stuff and sexuality...so, it not 100% family friendly...but, it certainly held our attention and I looked it up the next day in my KJ Bible to see how close they were to the real story...

This is one of my my favorite stories in the bible from the very beginning to the re-uniting of joseph to his father Jacob. this is a story of deceit by the 10 other brothers that sold joseph into slavery because of hate and jealousy but eventually turned into one of the greatest stories of redemption and love. every time i watch this movie it brings me to tears. it has changed my life reading about it in the old testament. They continued to live out their days in Egypt, but when their father died, the brothers were afraid that Joseph would seek revenge. However, Joseph told them that it would not happen because what they meant for evil, God meant for good. Joseph and his brothers spent the rest of their lives living in Egypt and Joseph died there at the age of 110 years.

I love this movie. I saw it on tv not too long ago and knew I had to have it. Joseph's story in the Bible is probably the best story of love and forgiveness with the exception of Jesus' crucifiction. Joseph example of love and forgiveness shows us that no matter what bad things happens to us we can turn it around for good. We don't have to hang on to bitterness, it will kill us. I had been looking for one of these movies from the United States and found one from a very good seller. I want my grandchildren to watch this and learn from it-that's why I had to have it.
I have watched this movie more times than any other movie I own. Being reminded of the trials that Joseph faced and how he remained steadfast and unwaivering in his faith has helped me during difficult times in my own life. This movie follows the Bible in great detail and is a great way to become more familiar with the life of one of the great men of the Bible. The quality of the production is fantastic. I would recommend this movie to anybody!
