Leave your thoughts about Molokai: The Story of Father Damien.
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile Critics"Molokai is a stirring and humbling film that you will never forget." |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusThe edifying, at times wrenching story of the 19th-century 'Apostle to the Lepers'… an inspiring, challenging depiction of Christian service and charity. |
| User ReviewNina KThis is actually my first entry. I have seen Molokai twice (two consecutive days). Having read [b][i]Holy Man-Father Damien of Molokai[/i][/b] I was greatly interested in seeing Hollywoods interpretation. Bravo to all actors, directors, and any participants in the making of this movie. The only complaint I have is it couldn't have been a longer movie so as to insert more information. I have read other reviews and was disappointed that they weren't that great (but to each his/her own). To those who thought it wasn't "entertaining" enough, may they be blessed they don't have Leprosy (Hansen's Disease) to find out how "entertaining" it can be. Bravo to the casting director; I have always wondered how they do it, but the actors that played the parts did so with such passion. I cried in many different scenes. David Wenham, Peter O'Toole, Sam Neil, Kris Kristofferson were just superb and if I had been so lucky as to have been an actor, I would have been privileged to have acted alongside any of them. The actress who played Queen (at this time: Princess) Liliuokulani had me in tears as she sang "Aloha Oye" (which incidently the queen had written herself and was said to have been a great composer, musician and singer in her own right). I had read [b]Hawaii's Story [/b](written by Queen Liliuokulani herself) and, in my opinion, this actress captured her character very well (it would be great to see her potray the Queen in a movie about the annexation of Hawaii). Sam Neil's character made me cringe (as well it should have). He is such a great actor. I am sorry to say that I had read reviews before I watched the movie and was dismayed to hear that Peter O'Toole was "entertaining". As a matter of fact, this is one of the best roles that I have seen Peter O'Toole in. But I'm biased- I really like this actor...what can I say. I had also heard that David Wenham's acting was rather dry.....NOT SO! He portrayed this charactor with such passion and compassion...yes, he made me cry. What an honor it must have been to play this part and for all the actors to go to Molokai and touch the very land Father Damien and those other brave souls had walked on. I hope one day I may visit this beautiful island. I highly recommend everyone to see this movie....but first I recommend for everyone to read the book [b][i]Holy Man[/i][/b].....it was so well written (by Gavan Daws). |
| User Reviewkelley mJust for the sheer daring and authenticity to use real lepers of Molokai who acted out of respect for their hero- Saint Father Damien this gets 100% from me. The setting and the pace and the acting are top notch. Before anyone casts any comments try to put yourself in Father Damien's shoes. Such strength against everything going against him. Strongly recommended. A hero! A great movie. Unpretentious. |
| User ReviewPavithra KMy first introduction to this wonderful Saint. The way the leper colony is shown is apt for a movie. Very real and soul wrenching. Amidst the brutal reality of life, the beauty of the island is well captured too. A beautiful movie where every artist has done total justice to the character. David Wenham is simply suberb. |
| User ReviewGregory WThis is the inspiring true story of Father Damien of Molokai. He volunteered to minister to the leper colony near Hawaii. Not only did he administer the sacraments, but he brought God's compassion and love to the people there. This movie was beautiful and expressed Fr. Damien's dedication to loving his flock. Highly recommended. Some topics are too mature for small children (discussion of prostitution, venereal disease, etc., and mildly graphic showing of leprosy disease) |
| User ReviewElizabeth TThis is one of the most interesting movies I've ever seen. It was so well acted by just about everyone. Kate Ceberano's part as Princess/Queen Liliuokalani was brilliant. Kris Kristofferson as Rudolph Meyer and David Wenham as Father Damien, Peter O'Toole as William Williamson also Henry Kapono as an extra made this movie outstanding. You can watch this movie again and again and catch something you didn't see the previous time. This movie is definately worth purchasing and watching. |
| User ReviewMegan BThis is one movie that is sadly overlooked. Everyone who acted in it did a fabulous job, the music and cinematography was amazing and the story was moving. I noticed how some critics didn't like the movie, but I can't imagine why. |
| User ReviewNancy CMy favourite actor, David Wenham, from Better Than Sex, Three Dollars, Cosi, Sea Change, Gettin' Square -- is outstanding in his portrayal of Father Damien. Peter O'Toole and Sam Neal are also great. Beautifully written, wonderful cinematography |
