TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
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.
meredithdevoe I live in Africa where this film is used in village outreaches and the crowds really respond to this film. The simplicity of it makes it cross- cultural, and the lack of special effects and "action" makes it understandable rather than dazzling to people who are not jaded... I have seen crowds burst into applause when Christian's burden rolls away at the foot of the cross. It really brings the message of God's grace to people, even children. And the final scene where Satan is pointing to gravestones saying "That one's mine, that one... how about you?" makes the message clear. If you are looking for entertainment, keep looking; but you should know this about the film: God is still using it!!
ed-755 The cast listing on this picture is incorrect. Peter Thomas is not Worldly Wiseman, he is Pilgrim/Christian. Liam Neeson is both Jesus Christ and Evangelist (his first film experience, and Ken & Max Anderson were a geniuses at talent-scouting). Liam was also in "Christiana", the sequel ("Christiana's Progress" was also Bunyan's sequel to "Pilgrim's Progress"). I believe Maurice O'Callaghan was Worldly Wiseman, who was also Apollyon in Christiana, where Peter Thomas was Pilgrim again and Liam Neeson was Greatheart. Peter is the son of the great Christian preacher/teacher Major Ian Thomas, who wrote "The Indwelling Life of Christ", and founded the Capernwray Schools and Lodges, and began the Torchbearer ministry in churches. Peter is now the National Director and Principal of Capernwray New Zealand (http://www.capernwray.org.nz/AnnouncementRetrieve.aspx?ID=38817) which is a great school, and an all-around great guy, just like his father was.
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!!
