The Book of Daniel

Excellent story, of Daniel. Exciting, and very informative. I loved it.

Humans either decide to worship themselves or choose to worship God or some other god of their choice. In Daniel's case he actually communicated with God and understood how to interpret dreams God would reveal to him. God trusted him with prophecies that today people are researching on a major level. The contrast in this movie is between men who want worship of themselves and a man who is humble and worships God. The dialogue is meaningful and thoughtful and the lions in this movie are amazing. My cat Fuzz sat on my lap on my heating blanket and wagged her tail back and forth whenever she heard the sounds of the lions. She was intrigued! Robert Miano is the perfect Daniel in this movie and his acting is great. He achieves a great balance of powerful obedience to God and prayerful humble worship. You can't do anything but admire Daniel and hope that anyone who believes in God could be that courageous. ~The Rebecca Review

I was truly floored when I watched this movie. The stories from Daniel are some of the ones I most remember from childhood. It is amazing what they did with a small budget in the production of this movie. Robert Miano was excellent as Daniel. The movie starts with an elderly Daniel praying, reminding God that He had promised that after 70 yrs He would allow His people to return to the land of Israel. He encounters Cyrus and asked him for permission to tell him the story of 4 kings, one who was great, one who was foolish, one who was deceived, and one who was to be regarded as wise for ages to come. The story then begins with Daniel describing the events that took place after he and his friends were carried into Babylon. The acting is excellent and the story is portrayed more accurately than any Biblical movie made to date. Even the dialog of Cyrus about his upbringing is backed up by historical records of the time and handed down tradition. It accurately records the testimony of the kings Nebuchadnezzar, Darius, and Cyrus when they declared that they had realized that the Eternal God was the only true God. I knew the Biblical record which simply states that God stirred up the spirit of Cyrus but never really thought about HOW exactly He did so, this movie shows it in a way that is both clever and in all probability is accurate. Why else would Isiah record the command to Cyrus unless Cyrus was to have it read to him? This movie is well worth the money and is one that you will either want to lend or buy as a gift to others. The only other movie based on the Bible that is any where near as accurate is the movie Joseph http://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Bible-Collection-Various/dp/B0007VY404/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1436676393&sr=1-1&keywords=joseph both of these are "must have" movies.

Pretty close to the Bible account with a few exceptions. The books of Daniel or Isaiah don't hint that Daniel personally influenced Cyrus as the movie portrays, but only that his prayer in Dan 9 apparently moved God on behalf of the Jews to return to Judah and Jerusalem, which Cyrus instigated. The lions' den was great with real-looking lions, though the opening of the den was apparently on the top with a stone lid and not through a door on the floor level, which the lions could have lunged out of when opened. The movie didn't show the wives and children of the men (who deceived the king against Daniel) being thrown into the den as in Daniel 6. Perhaps that would have been too sickening to watch. I wish the scene of the three friends of Daniel in the furnace could have shown them walking around and the "fourth Man" walking with them, as in Daniel 3. That scene could have been greatly improved, even with the low budget. Also they could have shown Nebuchadnezzar falling prostrate on the floor before Daniel when Daniel interpreted his first dream, as in ch 2. Why not tell it like it is? That wouldn't have cost a penny more. Not enough drama! But still it is was far closer to the biblical account than the Hollywood movies on Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and David. Even "One Night with the King" has strayed too far from the true account.

This story of the prophet Daniel went beyond my expectations except in one area:the Name of the Hebrew Deity, YAHWEH, wasn't used! This misguided (and disobedient!) refusal to use the Name YAHWEH has commanded of His people, is sinful. It is saying that man knows better than YAHWEH and using the generic "God" in place of His actual Name, the Name He revealed to Moses in Exodus and which He told Moses He willed to be known by! Take your own name as an example. Do you want people to call you by your name or by the generic, "man" or "woman?" When this form is sometimes used, it is used as a universal application and not as a unique, never-to-be repeated personal name. Do you know what your name means? If you don't, find out! You being named a certain name is no accident! On the contrary! It reveals who you are! That is supposing, of course, you aren't named after a lampshade!

Quand j'ai passé le DVD il est en anglais et je ne comprends pas l'anglais

Sono delusa,Purtroppo non sono soddisfatta perché non c era la possibilità di attivare i sottotitoli (in spagnolo) come era invece previsto, ne dal televisore ne dal pc, quindi il problema non dipende dal fatto che il televisore è antiquato.

Una de las mejores películas bíblicas que he visto en los últimos tiempos, fiel a las Escrituras y sobretodo, muy bien contada! Con subtítulos en español (solo la película), a un precio muy bueno... Vale la pena la inversión! Una película apta para toda la familia!

This Bible movie is written and produced using the same standards of a big-budget Hollywood production: great acting, digital cinematography and widescreen format. The story is true to the Bible and is a good tool for everyone to learn about Daniel. It would have been nicer if they used visualization scenes during the interpretations of the dreams, but ... otherwise, a very good movie by Pure Flix Movie Productions! The close captioning and Spanish subtitles are a much appreciated touch (although it would have been nice to have French subtitles as well)! I was also intrigued by the movie trailers on this DVD, particularly for "The Book of Esther", which looks better than the "Esther" movie from the Bible Stories series starring F. Murray Abraham (which I own). The other Pure Flix movies also look great too. I highly recommend The Book of Daniel for you and your children. Five Stars!!!!

Man soll nicht Blockbuster erwarten mit vielen Aktionen. Der Film ist bisschen monoton gedreht, aber inhaltlich gut gemacht. Manche Blockbuster mit Bibelerzählungen haben oft mit Bibelinhalten wenig zu tun.
