The apex of the drama was Nathan's confrontation of David regarding his sin with Bathsheba, a superb depiction of David's conviction and contrition for his sin. The main disappointment of the movie was frequent departure from the biblical narrative...for what reason?? The biblical account was much better than the compromised dramatization. A good example was the dramatization of Absolom's murder of Amnon. Why not stick with the actual biblical account ...

Well, 1985's "King David," starring Richard Gere in the titular role, essentially covers IT ALL. That's right, you'll see all the following events covered in the picture: -- Samuel's choosing of David as successor ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
