Movies: Mary, Mother of Jesus

 Written by CYW.com Print


The Catholic News site (which is great, if a little sparse in content) has another movie review podcast, this time talking about the 1999 film Mary, Mother of God.

"In the film, there's quite a lengthy sequence where Mary travels from Nazareth and she's greeted by Elizabeth. It's fairly literal - it uses the Gospel text - so it brings to life in a genial way, especially with the strength of the two actresses, a very famiiar story. For people who pray the Rosary, it's a contemplation of the Mystery of the Rosary the Visitation. So as we prepare for Christmas, it's very much an Advent story and enables us to move into the mind of Mary as she is pregnant and travels to Bethlehem to give birth."
