 | Well presented biblically accurate Jan 30, 2010 |
| This movie begins with Sol. Though the movie was long it gave a chance to understand the character of David. The characters actions of David, and those around him were presented according to biblical history. This movie gave just enough time to present those around David, to see an intent as would be discribed by catholic literature. There was a change of acuiring the prophet for Sol, which I think could have been introduced as it was written. But you cant help focusing on what David went through as he plotted, planed, and humbled himself with the calling God gave him. This movie brought David to the viewer and meaning for the other people in his life. This movie is long because it gave substance to the people around David. Well produced movie for that. Directed well as the people around David were accurately protrayed with there intentions from bibical history. | | |  | A bit of History Dec 30, 2009 |
| Not one of my favorite renditions of this age old story regarding the life of David - and there have been many - but it is still a good mini series for its day and if you are in to the Biblical Classics then still worth a look. | | | | Very good telling of the David story Nov 10, 2009 |
This was a made for television movie from the 1970's. It is the story of Saul as well as David, as their lives were so intertwined. The story is split into two different parts, each is as long as a full-length movie so we split it up over two nights. This telling of the story is more accurate to the Bible than the others I have seen, and maybe that is due to the long length, where they were not under pressure to cut so much out. The thing that may confuse you, is the fact that they have two different actors playing David. But in keeping with scriptural accuracy, David is shown with red hair, and many bible scholars agree that the reference to his appearance being "ruddy" is translated from the original test as "red" or red haired.
The story begins with David as a humble shepherd who becomes harp player to King Saul who is very emotionally strained after the prophet Samuel chastises him for failing to follow God's instructions in a battle. Samuel advises Saul that God will anoint another in his place to become King in his place. Saul's is full of jealous rage as David becomes hero to his people, and becomes anointed, so Saul and attempts to take Davids life. Naturally we have the scene of the battle of David and Goliath. The movie is very effective at showing the conflict that David has in his own reverence to Saul as Gods first anointed King over the people. He will not kill Saul, despite Saul's constant attempts on his own life, as he feels it will offend God. The story continues afters Saul's death in battle and on into David's assuming the throne. It includes the story of Bathseba, and the scenes with her bath and subsequent lovemaking with David were shown on television, but are sill too strong for the kids so prepare to send them out of the room for a bit. We continue through David's life, the treason of one of his sons, and his eventual; passing the crown to his son Solomon late in life.
The acting is solid, the scrip dynamic and never slow. Features a good musical score, good costumes and art direction, nice sets and outdoor scenery locations. Very enjoyable, this is my favorite of all the movies about the life of David the shepherd, warrior, father and king. | | |  | Epic TV Drama Jun 3, 2009 |
This 1976 TV telling of the biblical epic life of King David is in 2 parts. It starts out lukewarm in the first part, but redeems itself in the second half, making for some very interesting viewing, especially for those of us who love the Bible stories in film. The acting ranges from good to excellent, it has a atmospheric score by Laurence Rosenthal, some nice touches from the art department, and for the most part, even though it sometimes condenses/changes some of the situations, remains fairly faithful to Scripture, and many of the psalms are read or sung.
Part 1 is about the young David, and his relationship with King Saul, and ends at Saul's death, with David being named king. Part 2 starts with the mature David, and ends with his son Solomon being anointed as king. One would think that this epic story could never be boring, but Part 1 has sections that are tedious at best, and drag what would have been a 5 star TV film down to 4 stars, despite the cast, which has Timothy Bottoms as the young David, Anthony Quayle wonderful as King Saul, and Norman Rodway effective as a hyper Joab, leaping about like a small mountain goat.
Part 2 has Keith Michell as the mature King David, in a performance that has flashes of brilliance and is always highly entertaining, and Brian Blessed shines in several scenes as Abner. Jane Seymour is a gorgeous Bathsheba, and she shares palpable chemistry with Michell. Also good is Susan Hampshire as a very blond Michal. There is an abundance of blue eyes in this film, but then most of the actors seem to be British. Directed by David Lowell Rich and Alex Segal, and written by Ernest Kinoy (the 2nd half particularly well written), this is well worth watching, but you may need some fortitude to get through Part 1. Highly recommended for further viewing of this story is the TV Bible Collection "David" starring Nathaniel Parker, Leonard Nimoy, and Jonathan Pryce. | | | Write your own review about Story Of David:From Shepherd To King Of Israel
