King David A good story ruined – historybuff –
What a great story, and they had to go and ruin it. The movie is wanderfull, and then they had to put female nudity in to it. Once when David and his new bride are in bed together, and then as Bathsheba is bathing. True it happened, but at least show it from the back istead of a full frotal shot of her fully exposed chest.
If it were not for those 2 scenes I would give it a 4-5 rating. It is probably the best bible movie I have scene after the Ten Commandments. But come on, most people who watch this want a beter understand of the bible, not a sex rush.
Paramount: Following the Biblical tale, KING DAVID chronicles the real-life story of David, a lowly shepherd boy whose shrewdness and bravery helped him ascend to the throne of ancient Israel. From his defeat of Goliath to his jealousy-fueled relationship with Saul, to his self-destructive yearning for Bathsheba, the story of David is an action-packed saga of religion and politics based partly on history and partly on legend and full of ethical lessons imparted by a wise God.
