The Nativity Story

Another segment on my morning radio programme at 98.5 Sonshine FM is a fortnightly look at what’s on at the movies.

Aaron Kamp has been reviewing movies for some time and he posts his reviews at Cinemaniacs, part of the YFC website.

Every couple of weeks we look at what’s in the cinemas, what’s new on DVD and we take a closer look at a particular new release movie.

Today Aaron reviewed The Nativity Story.

98.5 Sonshine FM ran a preview screening of the movie for about 400 of our listeners last week and it seemed to be well received. It was wonderful to be taken back in time around 2000 years to see how things may have been for Mary and Joseph. Rather than the rather serene images we’ve been served up for years, this movie shows the poverty into which the baby Jesus was born.

If you’re wanting to remember the true story behind the Christmas season I’d recommend you take a few hours to see The Nativity Story. It starts rather slowly but it keeps drawing you in to immerse you in the most wonderful story ever told. The audience’s connection with the film was probably most telling when the birth of Jesus was portrayed and many people across the cinema broke into spontaneous applause.
