I was hoping to compare other productions of the Book of Esther, and this was completely the worst rendition of the three. This effort cannot possibly be compared to the biblical account. In other productions like the Book of Daniel, the team did a fine job to cast and portray the characters for the show, but I cannot say the same this time round.
At first I brushed of the warning that some of the story had been changed for dramatic effect, for this happens all the time, but I did not realise just how far off-base they meant.
Every actor over-played their role, and seriously misrepresents the account in the Bible. It really does seem that no historical research had been done. In fact, I cannot believe that David White even approved the script and story-line.
Had I been an actor or worker on the set, I would have seriously protested and denied any roles offered.
No offense to the actors, but this was a very poor attempt at representing a pivotal time in the Jews history and how God intervened in very unique ways. This movie failed to have the various story lines run in perfect harmony to its final vindication of an evil plot to exterminate a people.
To me it was disappointing. I was expecting a lot better from what I know Pureflix is capable of.
