On the weekend, I watched a movie called "David" after reading a review that praised its new animation style. I was also interested in seeing the story of the biblical David being shared with a new generation, as it was one that I had learned about growing up in the church.
I took my youngest with me, and we enjoyed the cinematic view of the new animation, which made the characters' hair look very real, as well as the beautiful landscapes, horizons, and Technicolour. I was also interested in the storyline and the storytelling of a very old story.
All in all, we enjoyed it, and there were tear-jerking moments, as well as the story of a mother's love for her son. I almost laughed when there was a reference to 'stress weaving', which I think is more of a 20th-century term, but interesting in that I love handicrafts as an ancient art form, and also practical too.
I would highly recommend this movie for family viewing and also for those who are interested in viewing a different 'take' on David. At the end of the movie, the director (title unknown) makes a plea for 1,000,000 children in North America to be able to watch, and for viewers to pay it forward so they can watch, since many can't afford entry...
