Product Description
Nativity Story, The (DVD) In a story of profound faith revered by much of humanity, one young woman struggles with the destiny for which she is chosen--to give birth to the Son of God and to become the object of salvation for billions of souls--a deeply moving journey told in A Nativity Story. The Academy Award-nominated star of Whale Rider, Keisha Castle-Hughes, portrays Mary, a young wife and soon-to-be mother upon whom a seemingly impossible burden will be placed. Over the two years before the birth of Jesus, as Mary realizes that she will bear a child fated to change the world, she discovers the inner strength, faith and grace that have earned her the veneration of billions of people for two thousand years.

The movie begins with the extremely well-known Massacre of the Innocents, during which King Herod the Great ordered the execution of the young boys under the age of two in Bethlehem in hopes of killing the future king. After the showing of the massacre, the movie backtracks to the story of Jesus’ conception and birth.
A year before the massacre Zachariah, the Archangel Gabriel tells him that Elizabeth, his wife, is to have a son. Zachariah expresses his doubts, saying that he and his wife are too old to have a child. The angel then tells him that for his doubt, he will be mute until the birth of his child. Around this same time, Mary, who is promised to marry Joseph, also gets a visit from the Archangel and he tells her that she will bear the son of God and that she will name him Jesus.
Mary is afraid of going home pregnant as she foresees that she will be accused of fornication for she is pregnant but a virgin. Joseph, doubtful of her story, does not want to be with her but does not want to accuse her because if she were accused of fornication she could be stoned to death. Later on, the Archangel Gabriel visits him in a dream and tells him that was Mary says is true and he decides to stick by her side.
The king orders a census and so Joseph and a pregnant Mary have to travel to Bethlehem, as it is the place of his birth, and upon their arrival, Mary goes into labor. The three Magi the king sent to find Mary find her giving birth in the stable and present her new baby with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Magi avoid the king on their way home, suspicious of what he wants with the new Messiah which leads to the massacre from the beginning of the movie. Mary and Joseph get out before, however, and Jesus is safe.
I personally really enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to my mother or a friend that is more interested in religious stories. I liked that the movie tried to stay true to the interactions described in the bible between the angel Gabriel and everyone else.
