CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Mattaniah Gibson Bunyan's work contains so much potential for a fantastic film- and this attempt just misses it. Where is the fight with Apollyon? This story is action packed, and in the hands of good director would be a visual masterpiece with a riveting story. This? It's garbage. It's slow, unexciting and visually appalling even for a late 70's production. Good grief, even the 50's animated version outdoes Anderson! Of course, all my fellow Christians will adore it because they like the message while completely missing the utter lack of artistic imagination.The actors are not inspiring- we need a protagonist who displays the variety of emotion described by Bunyan. I really wish a capable director had made this movie a few decades earlier and cast Jimmy Stewart as the main character. The choice of George Beverly Shea as the narrator doesn't help at all. Seriously, was there no one else willing to do this? The sets are equally uninspiring- the story is basically a walk in a lush green, tame countryside that never changes. This story begins with a man going stir-crazy and this garbage has him sounding apparently confused with a lovely English countryside behind him. They needed grit, drama, emotion and beauty. They delivered none of these.
Anurag Peter Rai The Story is about a Pilgrim who is escaping the city of destruction leaving his family behind and traveling to the Celestial city which he has read about in the Bible. He faces many troubles, temptations, trials, disappointments, failures. But in the end he finally reaches the Celestial city!Not perfect but good presentation. Acting was good as well as the story.The story is easy to understand and relate to. The movie really helps you to prepare for the Eternal Kingdom (Heaven) and how to be a faithful, helpful and hopeful Christian while on earth.You even have young Liam Neeson as the Evangelist,Help,etc various characters. Do watch this movie and stay blessed.
joshfever This movie has been a real life-changer, articulately written and directed amazingly which has contributed all the more to its wonderful script! For those of you who know John Bunyan would truly know the value of this novel he wrote and all the pain he put into beautifully upbraiding the gist of the whole story. Though this movie's just a part of the whole book and left many parts untouched, it has truly proved the point. To those you who really applaud Christian-based epics and so forth, The Pilgrim's Progress would indeed be of a great help in knowing more about the inherent truths about the like to a great depth.I give it a 10/10 for the script and the performance of all the actors in this wonderful journey!!! Don't MISS IT!!
judiciary Although it was a worthwhile aim to transfer the greatest allegory in the English language to film, this work utterly fails as art because it makes wholesale changes in a book which every student of fine literature should know by heart, and for no good reason. The sets are beautiful and the pace is satisfactory, but making the devil pop up at every turn and ending the movie with him being a "boogey man" rather than one who, as the Bible says, transforms himself into an "angel of light," ruins this seemingly amateur effort at filmography.
