Description

King David, starring Richard Gere, follows the real-life story of the lowly shepherd boy whose shrewdness and bravery helped him ascend to the throne of ancient Israel. But this film is much more than just another Biblical epic. Richard Gere and a fine supporting cast present a fresh new look at the people who actually lived the events that have become legend-from David's battle with Goliath to his self-destructive yearning for Bathsheba.

    I really enjoyed it!! Wow! If the movie would have removed the partial nude scenes ( Saul’s daughter and Bathsheba). I would give it a 5. That way little kids can see it... great portrayal of David!
  • I love this movie!

    It is a great movie but it is NOT Biblically correct by any means! Nudity is not a necessity but I can't change the movie, my children love king David but of course they are never allowed to see nudity... The story line is great, but it also gives you and your children the ability to dig into your bibles and learn the truth!
  • Biblically Correct??????????

    Any one who has been to Church or Sunday School will see that this Movie is extremely Non Biblically Correct. I was extremely disappointed in this movie and very glad I rented it and did not buy it. Not only were the events not in the correct order but they were completely inaccurate, For example Bathsheba did not tell David she would not sleep with him while her husband was alive!!!! That was THE MAJOR SIN in David's life. THE pivotal event in his life and story!!!!!!! I understand changing and enhancing things to make a movie easier to follow or more entertaining. but the mistakes in this movie were not from taking Artistic license for entertainment purposes. They only served to make the movie frustrating and let the producers show more bare breasts. This movie is one of only 2 movies I would truly tell people not to get. The other is Broke Back Mountain. Neither are even worth the $2.99 rental cost.
