The Nativity Story

Last night Nate, Sara and I went to see “The Nativity Story” at the Bangor Cinemas which turned out to be a decent movie. The bulk of the movie was based on what was recorded in the Bible, from the book of Isaiah, Jeremiah, the four Gospels and some other books that mention the Prophecy of the Messiah and of course some of the events that took place during the movie were made up or speculated to add more content to the movie. If you study old maps the Middle East than it would make sense that the particular scenes I’m covertly talking about would take place, traveling from Nazareth to Bethlehem would incur the typical scenarios portrayed in the movie.

I was very pleased that the quotation of the Bible was very accurate between Mary, the Angel, Elizabeth and Joseph. The three Wise men were portrayed as they always are in the typical Nativity display, coming to give gifts of Gold, frankincense and Myrrh at Christ’s birth, contrary of what the Bible states- they came roughly a year later due to the length of their trip.I highly recommend seeing this movie to anyone, along with “The Passion of the Christ“.
