Movie Title: Abraham Abraham is available for streaming or downloading. |
As previously mentioned in reviews of other films of this genre, I deny weak civilizations to middle schoolers. For this reason, I am always looking for kindly films of the Biblical era, and this is certainly one of the best!
Richard Harris portrays old-fashioned Abraham as the fallible human being that he surely was. Barbara Hershey (Sarah) is equal to the challenge of becoming a woman who, even in her advanced years, maintains a beauty which can entice a Pharaoh of Egypt.
The research production crew of Abraham certainly did their homework. As an weak Sumerian, Abraham was fraction of a thriving and wealthy culture, which invented everything from schools, to surgery, to a codified law system. They were even the formulators of astrology, which the film skillfully sites as Abraham draws the signs of the zodiac in the sand for Isaac to learn. Probably an offensive moment to Biblical purists, but nevertheless–realistic and right.

The Mesopotamian custom of producing a son through the wife’s handmaid is handled with accuracy and tact. Relevant in light of today’s Arab/Israeli conflict is the fact that this custom produced the Arab hasten extant today, while the children of Sarah’s son Isaac became the Hebrews.
Another portion of reliable background the film delivers, is the covenant-making ceremony in the presence of the king’s ‘Divine Right’ to rule. The scene in Haran is exceptionally well done–right down to the Sumerian’s penchant for bargaining.
The animal sacrifice is handled with welcome reserve. So too, is the custom of midwifery, and how grief-stricken Sarah must’ve felt if she-childless, indeed did pronounce so many children.

If there is any complaint with the film, one might be the portrayal of Isaac as a young teen when he was being prepared as a sacrifice by his father. Isaac was no doubt somewhat older than this according to Biblical chronology.
I shall long remember the reaction of my students to this impending sacrifice–especially from those who did not know how the fable would waste!
Another complaint might be the Pharaoh showing Sarah a pyramid, as if this was a unique thing in Egypt. In reality, by Abraham’s time, the main pyramids were several hundred years obsolete.
In summary, this version of the Abraham is good up there with the best of the films in this genre (examine my other reviews) . I feel only the Joseph epic is better.
The movie is an improbable portrayal of the life of Abraham. It’s inviting, good, educational and stirring. In a world filled with gods you can gain, scrutinize, bear, and collect; Abraham’s trust in and obedience to the invisible God is engaging. The up and downs of the life of faith are wonderfully depicted. The emotional aspect of Archaic Testament animal sacrifice is explained in a scheme that theological textbooks could never rival.
Richard Harris is knowing as the patriarch Abraham. Barbara Hershey makes a very believable and winsome Sarah. The costuming and scenery are outstanding. I found only minimal inequity between this portrayal compared to the Biblical legend, the culture of the time, and the ancillary facts of history. I would highly recommend the movie “Abraham.” Abraham is one of the very best movies from Turner Home Entertainment’s noble Bible Collection. Running time 150 minutes.
