 if you can edit 1 scene, BUY THIS! January 29, 2010
Fredrick L. Murphy (northeastern Ohio, USA)
This film is closer to the Biblical text of this account, than any we've yet seen....it's very emotional and very encouraging as well. Long film, but not too long! The only real problem (meaning unacceptable) is the bath-tub scene with Joseph. He's seen from waist up, in a pool relazing/bathing, and in comes his boss's wife who's been after him sexually. Potiphar's wife seductively rubs up and down his chest, until (WITH MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS GOING ALONG WITH THE SEDUCTIVITY) she goes down into the water below his waist and connects with his genitals (yes, for real). Both Joseph and her are shown to react to the moment ever so...."slightly" and then she leaves him alone until the next time she confronts him. We had this film for YEARS and thought how awesomely Biblical (compared to any other film) this movie was, but never noticed this part until this year. Why? because we had younger children at the time, and so the inferred sexual tension of her rubbing his shoulders over the bath-tub/pool was something we'd simply pass by w/ the fast-fwd button a mere several seconds. We didn't do that this year, and WHOOOAH!! We were SHOCKED at what transpired in those few moments. They don't show below the water, but they PLAY UP the moment big time to let you know what is happening. For this reason, i say DON'T BUY THE MOVIE unless you can edit it. I have a label on the front cover that says FAST FWD THRU YOSEF'S BATHTUB/POOL SCENE COMPLETELY, until i learn the difficultly of DVD-Editing software. If i had this film on VCR, i'd simply tab the "edit" tab on the VCR tape and i'd record a whole minute or two over that one moment (which wouldn't hurt a 3-plus hour long film!).
It's truly a shame that the film makers snuck in a scene of this degree, they simply could have ended with the woman rubbing Joseph's shoulders in flirtation (showing her constant pursuit of him) and played up the moment that way, at that time. However, they stuck a little leaven in to satisfy Hollywood and to "leaven the whole loaf" with making it clear that she was touching his genitals for a bit and he was helpless to deal with the tempation for a few moments. This cheap move by the film makers reminds me of the "Sampson" film put out by the Bible Collection film makers....which is TOTALLY TRASHY...taking the sexuality way OVERBOARD for the Sampson screen (don't buy it! My family was apalled!). Again, i say if you cannot edit the movie, DON'T BUY IT.

This movie kept as true to the actual bible as any movie I have ever seen. A good example of how God's miracles sometimes take a whole life time.
Excellent Joseph movie October 12, 2009

This movie brought the Story of Joseph according to the Bible alive. The bedrooom scene with Potiphar's wife could have been less graphic yet other than that the movie was enjoyable.

To say this movie is very good would not do it justice. Ignore the criticism of the, "Bath scene." Potipher's wife makes moves on Joseph- that's the way it was. The movie doesn't show nudity, but shows what an evil woman she was. Ben Kingsley, as always, was excellent in this movie. After the movie, you feel like you've had a feast!
