The Gospel of John movie begins depicting the ministry of John the Baptist, who was the one crying in the wilderness. He was making the pathway straight for the coming of the Lord. John is the one who establishes the way of Jesus. After Jesus I introduced, the movie takes us down the path that Jesus walked such as choosing his disciples, teaching them the way, the synagogues, about who he is and about Heaven. He also depicts the Life of Jesus going to Calvary, performing miracles, and the many that tried to destroy him. Jesus then arrives at Golgotha, which is called, "the place of the skull", and shows plenty of passion for the people. We cannot forget the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which shows the risen Savior, the last days with his disciples, and returning back to his father in Heaven.

There are some inconsistencies in which I don't agree. The movie is taken from scripture, but not the King James Version, which is the original 1611 version. I think that scripture should be quoted accurately and not watered down. Also some, other inconsistencies, the movie doesn't really depict what Christ went through, it shows a whip, but not the real scourging and beating. I know that this version is taken from John's point of view, in which all the gospels depicts Jesus life and what he went through different.

The dramatization of this movie does depict some authenticity with the dress wear of the actors.  It always makes a difference with the music, clothing, because some movies go just a little bit to far to take a movie and add props that didn't exist in the biblical times. So I think that this movie does have some authenticity to it to make us feel like we were there...I would recommend this movie because it brings some biblical times to life.

I give this movie 5 stars because I really did enjoy the movie. I love black and white movies I believe this movie made the case for LOVE & MARRIAGE! If it's done in the right way not like the movies they have today. This movie may have been done in a secular way with it's intention of hatred for men. But in the end LOVE wins out and with GOD all things a possible to turn a HEART that is made of STONE! To TURN a heart that can be worked on and made soft and to turn a way ward husband back to his wife. And when there anger there is forgiveness and healing between a husband and his wife or with singles. I believe this movie had some good equalities. If one really tries to find them and not be so judgmental yes the times we're different. But are they really so different today I think we need GOD more TODAY then ever and mens hearts need to be happy and to have peace and joy again. And in knowing GOD really does have GOOD plans for our lives if we give GOD a chance. Just like this movie give it a chance. For those who produced this movie may have not meant for it to be good. But anyway it was a excellent movie to me and I would buy it. To someone else do what your heart tells U to do and if U don't so be it. But as for myself thank U for sharing.

I'm very appreciative that movies such as the War Room are still bing produced.  With all the filth being shown on movie and TV screens, it feels good to know the kids I can watch a faith base movie and not have to explain scenes that are inappropriate to minor eyes.  My best take away is understanding the power that can come from praying the correct way and having a devoted area in the house for prayer.

hey there, i'm still watching this film right now and it's already clear to me that this is a step forward to my own spiritual center. it' a step back from a direction that's now obviously wrong, it's a closer look into the mirror.
I don't know who you are, reading this right now, but I knew something was calling me, when I first heard about this film. sometimes things, people, voices are calling us. i give much respect and love to shaahin cheyene for making this film. i haven't read his book yet, but i definitely will.
there are so many lies out there surrounding us. and very often our first reflex after realizing something is wrong is to go and fight whatever it is. but thats not the solution and we know it. we gotta go and look for the better. go fight for something, not against and then take the next step and stop fighting altogether and focus on healing. it's the light that we seek in darkness. its not the other way around. we gotta face ourselves and except ourselves before can start to change.
this movie reminds me of a lot of great things i already learned in and from life, dreams, inspirations, earth, space, darkness... this film tells me more than words. it's like a reminder. it shows a peek into a tradition thats never been lost but hidden, older and also much fresher than everyday western cults, that we as europeans and americans grew up with.
i always knew there was something wrong with our culture and i always knew there was something good and redeeming to find in ancient traditions. i tried lots of things and it all kind of started with reading a book by carlos castaneda. my mind and spirit travelled all around the globe and now it all comes down and back to where i started my spiritual search, back to mexico, back to the ancestors, back to the aztecs, toltecs...
i can already recommend this film to every light-, truth- and selfseeker. a great honest journey made obviously with love and respect.

I had seen a couple of the movies but missed most of them. I love watching all of them. It is great to have a clean, Christian based movies that can be enjoyed by the whole family. I hope more will be out soon!

I grew up watching westerns with my father.  I like a nice love story at times.  I enjoy a mystery.  I like to believe I am a spiritual person.  I like Randy Quaid, Eric Roberts, the idea of a romantic old west . . . can't go wrong with this movie.  Gives a person a bit to think about, a bit of action, and a nice evening with the spouse (hopefuly)

I am a 42-year old divorcee and divorced for over fourteen years now. I am also a seasoned Marketing Executive who thought she had seen it all. However, this movie made me believe in romance and companionship again. It was one of the most enchanting movies I have seen in a long time. It was also a pleasure to see more "mature" actors(obviously over 30) finding someone and enjoying life. I love all types of films, old, new, drama, action, subtitled, documentaries, you name it. I purchase& rent lots of videos weekly. I am an African-American female, who has always had an interest in Latin, Afro-Cuban & Brazilian music. Brazilian music, (Jobim)in particular, is very relaxing and tranquil. I had seen a film preview of the Amy Irving film and purchased the CD soundtrack. I played it in the car, at work, at home, even let it lull me to sleep at night. Then I found the video for rental. The mature actor with the beautiful gray hair, who feel in love with Amy, was absolutely wonderful. He was so inviting and believable. One of the most tender moments in the film was the time he spent with his father, when he selected and cut the fabric for Amy's blouse.  Many Americans shy away from subtitled films, and have no patience with them.  But, Americans need to take the time to watch more international film work. I have a much greater appreciation for other cultures, outside the US,  because of the time spent watching foreign films. In fact, the English words are just a small part of it. I find I am more observant and watch the actors much more intently. Facial expressions and mannerisms mean so much more, because the abbreviated words don't say enough.  There are not enough words to say how much this film has impacted my life.  Who has not thought about running off to Rio, and floating in the warm, salty sea at dawn.........Thank you Amy!

I was compelled to watch this movie after I read 2 reviews on this site stating it was an Insult to God, that this Mother gave all her glory to the Cards, stating the movie should be thrown in the trash & ends with scriptures -- Then an earlier review saw only Hypocrisy. I'm thinking, WHAT??!!  A movie like this, I just had to take a look!  As a Christian myself (obviosly not the kind they are, what would they have done - given their son a sermon every day while he laid in the hospital bed ?).  I DID NOT see this Mother giving GLory to the cards at all, I counted the times she thanked God, and they were MANY ...What I seen was a Mother who was guided, who believed, who hoped, who dared to do whatever it took to save her son's life (which is love), she saw the light in his eyes when he opened his cards, he believed all those people sending cards were praying for him, this gave him Hope/Encouragement -which his Doctor ordered the parents to give him, what he NEEDED.  How can one not see God (or inspiration) at work in this? Life is full of wonderful things in wonderful unexpected ways, even in the midst of some of the chaos, He is there.  This card campaign -which spanned the globe- might have led to a Guinness Book World record, but the more important thing was it led to a Doctor in the United States who was able to perform the surgery to save his life.  So God Used the "Cards", or He allowed the Card Campaign to be used to bring these important people into this child's life-to save Him.  What could be more glorious than that, what Joy to these parents, what answered prayer.  It's an incredible story, and it's TRUE--which makes it even better!  Funny thing is, all these years later, those crazy cards are still coming, thanks to some chain letters on the internet that just won't die.  I think all of us should be this sensitive to what gives OUR CHILDREN  hope/encouragement in a time such as this.

On your basic principle of a Faith based movie I found this movie to be very enjoyable and uplifting, suitable for the whole family to watch, although I doubt small children would sit through it.  I would suggest that the intellectual types shut off the mind and watch this movie with your eyes and your heart, become humble like children.  A feel good type of movie.

This movie was great from the beginning all the way to the end for my family and I. We enjoyed every character and every twist and turn. I thought that every character played their roles well. I did not find the movie a bore as some of the reviews have stated.

What I did find interesting is that, when a movie is God centered or faith centered it is a bore, bad acting, waste of time etc.. It is very strange how when a faith based movie is made, no one wants to support the movie or give the movie great reviews.

 I said this to say that it is a shame that this movie did not receive the exposure it should have. This was a great movie as my family and I just finished watching the movie and I could not wait to write a review about the movie in support of this movie and hopefully many more faith based movies to come.

If you are thinking of viewing this movie, you will not be disappointed. We viewed this movie with clear minds. We left the movie touched and filled with the message that this movie sends.. If you want a clean, faith based, mystery then this movie is for you. It is based on a book by a great author who writes great books..

The movie was professional quality, touching, clean, great family entertainment and an ending that will knock you off of your feet and leaving you wondering who can you trust.

View this movie for yourself and then make your own judgement as to if it is a good movie are not. But before you state your response, ask yourself what do you value, did this movie feed your spirit man? Did you get the message of this movie.

Christians can have clean fun and make decent movies without all of the guns, violence, and drugs etc. Remember what you put in your gates, eye, ears, etc is what will come out. Give your soul some food for thought with this clean christian movie.

Feed your spirit man.. and not your flesh.

Having viewed many biblical movies gave me a mental visual of some of the stories. However, having such powerful voices from noteworthy actors/actress made it more enjoyable. I close my eyes, listen to the wonderful stories and embrace the power of the Lord from then to now.

Children from ages 9+ could benefit from this collection either before or after bible study. And, naturally those persons that are visually handicap can take a journey that would be (I feel) enlightening. Recovering from an illness, accident or traveling through lifes challenges this collection could bring a calm to ones life and an understanding as to the importance of preseverance.

I intend on giving this collection as a gift to all my love ones.

Recently, I have gotten more and more interested in spirituality, and it was my curiosity to see what this movie have to offer me to broaden my knowledge of what I need to know about "what the ?#$! are we doing here?" This movie is full of amazing information that is uplifting, and empowering to the human mind and spirit. I found it to be somewhat complicted and confusing with the main theme(quantum physics), maybe that's why this is the kind of film that needs to be seen more than once to be fully  educated by it. This movie covers a wide range of studies including science, the mind, human behaviors, God and religions,and spirituality.

In this documentary style film, Marlee Matlin plays a photographer dealing with frustration and self-loathing, because her past is still making her depressed most of her waking moments. She encounters people that triggers her emotions and how she learn to become a better observer rather than to judge a situation directly. Throughout this film, various professionals were interviewed on science, quantum physics, and philosophy. I particularly can relate to the causes of depression, emotional malfunction which causes a person to be self-destructive. It's really true that how we think inside can change how we look on the outside. It will definitely be helpful to anyone who had lost a grip of their true selves and regain the best of their body, mind, and spirit.

Marlee Matlin is very impressive and mesmerizing at times. She had endured quite a transformation emtionally and spiritually. I also thought Ramtha's interview on spirituality and God was profoundly wise and enlightening.

Not too shabby for a real life demon havoc filled house. A little over the top for that "All of a sudden I know why this is happening" moment of enlightenment. From when I first started following Ed and Lorraine Warren's abilities, I never have known them to have that "Hollywood moment"...However, I do know that they have been priceless in the spiritual cleansing areas of peoples lives for a very long time.
My kudos to them for their sacrifices made to help oust unwanted spiritual activities. As far as the movie, It is VERY watchable, interesting and a REAL eye opener for a ton of people who don't want to believe in the supernatural...or its obvious traps.
A good scary movie to watch for a rainy night...don't leave the lights out though....

Baraka an ancient wordwhich tranlates into 'blessing' is very aptly named as a reminder to us of the intrinsic beauty of the world and all of Gods creatures.

Filmed in 70 mm in 24 countries we get a birds eye view of the world around us without the unneccesary babbling of some idiot announcer telling us what we are seeing. Also we get no incoherent diatribe by politically correct idiots trying to put these wonderfull scenes into meaningless words .... The idiocy and the appreciation of beauty comes from your friends who may see this DVD with you.... I was was awed by the beauty of this DVD only to be surprised by one of my friends to find that she thinks the movie was 'depressing' ..... WOW ...

It's not a DVD movie but rather an event or an experience .... a hust have for ANY video collection
