The actors and song were very entertaining, but just a warning when you watch it with your family. They chose to be more liberal than sticking with the Biblical text:
1. Mary is not biblically rebellious in any way. This is not only Antilles cultural but would have caused her to be stoned by Old Testament law.
2. The musical side of the story takes away from biblical account.
3. Mary wants to live her way and for love instead of obeying her family and culture, a western mindset of finding love, again not in the Biblical text.
4. The movie can make you cringe when you know the Biblical text, and cannot recommend it to friends or family due to the liberty by which the movie went.
Do you agree if you have seen it?
