i be stun at the negative comment that i have read and can only assume that the people make such comment be less than honest . this be the most moving and real portrayal of joseph smith that i have ever see . it be well act to the point that at time i forget that i be watch a movie . it bring joseph life of hardship and good natured optimism and endure faith in people and god and and ultimate sacrifice to life such in a way that frankly leave me speechless and silent in awe . if anyone and of any christian religion can watch this movie without be touch in some positive way i would have to say it be a reflection of the individual and not the movie . i give the movie a 10 and encourage honest soul to view it . at the very least it be an extremely heart felt portrayal of man who give everything he have for what he believe . in a world where value and belief be ridicule and this movie stand a a endure reminder of the kind of people we be suppose to be no matter what religious belief we hold . ann pruitt .
