The Nativity Story


Watch this film and then comment on:

- how the biblical characters are seen in everyday life: (falling in love, flirting, being jealous, accusing of adultery, etc).
- Comment on any aspects that make the film seem "real", not a fairy story, difficult to believe.

Please write your first name, class and country under your comment.

  2. i watched the film today. i like a bit. i think the film dont show the real event completely. this story but the film is diffirent than i know. although this, i watched it tastefully.the film told us womans' working, virgin mary's life and born christ. virgin mary's love and her son. he name is christ. so, i realised that womans used headclothes. i mean womans must be shut in that time.towards virgin mary situation, people didnt make a response too much.first, joseph oppesed virgin mary but then holly spirit warned him. he understood everything. it is a miracle event. in this film save self-sacrifice, miracle and real event and god's power...

  4. The film tells us the birth of Jesus Christ and the difficulties Virgin Mary has encountered.It is good to see that women of that period share some common features with those of our time such as the problems they meet in the society and the the type of clothing they wear. Women do not have much chance to choos their husband in that time.

  6. The fılm is good.I lıked it.Females and males were different.this story writes Quran.Jesus Christ were given as a gift.thıs sıtuatıon is very surprising. they excluded Virgin Mary.but she was a good person.she took enormous responsibility.
    females wear scarfe.thıs sıtuatıon is same in every place.besıdes Joseph was very understandıng person. he treated well.
    we respect vıew of Chrıstıans. also they are people.and we love everybody.

  7. we watched it and it is similar to our religion
    for example wearing scarf believing the God but we couldn t be sure joseph s existence and the angels are not seen by the people in our religion ı think it is a big diferrence.dispite everything it was effectively because we believe all of prophets.

  9. thefilm is different from film which ı knew.I wasn't affected very much.Because ıt was told changing.Up to explaining us there isn't Joseph.they exclude Mary.Something which I saw in the film is similar to our tradition. For example;women use scarf to their head in there.In spite of everything, the film is effective.

  10. The fılm is good for me.It ıs effectıve.Somethıng whıch I saw in the flim is similar our tradıtıon.For example,women wear a scarf to cover your head.I didn t know joseph before.he ıs very good person.I know Mary.People excluded her.It is a bad thıng.People didn t gıve ımportance women before they learnt Islam .when I saw the fılm and dıffucultıes whıch Mary's encounters, I remembered that days. Now,ıt ısn't so.In brıef,I was affected.

  11. nativity story is very atractive for me. their subject is interesting. the women are close. they have head close. i was surprısed when I saw. thıs ıs wrote ın quran but ıt ıs different a bit. joseph ıs not explained ın there.but this film is better than i expect.but although nativity story show the face of angel gibrael as a human body which is not good according to islam , this is not a good thing in islam. but it is nice, all in all. i respect christians ,after i watched.

  13. I am from Greece and i watched this film before the Christmas celebretion.I liked it very much because we can understand how life was in that time and it was really believable.It shows some Biblic Characters like humans,having emotions and helping us much us they can everyone who needs help.
