Customer Reviews of Joseph - King of Dreams
Joseph : King of Dreams I watched this video mindful of the strong expectations I had after The Prince of Egypt and also the strong influence the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat had on me. After these 2, I expected a bit more from Joseph : King of Dreams, but this was still an excellent movie! The story is slightly altered from actual biblical viewpoint, but is true to the most important points. Being an artist myself, it was the art that first captured me in The Prince, and it remains true in Joseph. The music is also wonderful, not quite so powerful as The Prince, but overall excellant, especially Better Than I, which hits home so much. I would recommend this movie to all Christians and even those who are just curious about the Christian faith. It will certainly give you a good interpretation of one of the best-known stories out of the Bible. ENJOY!
TO BETRAY AND AVENGE
The heartbreak of family divided and the power of family united.
According to DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg, much of the creative team that was involved in "THE PRINCE OF EGYPT" was gathered to work on "JOSEPH: KING OF DREAMS." Although the resulting, richly colored animation, often bathed in desert light, is not quite the eye-popping caliber of the former, it is certainly satisfying.
This is a vivid, thoughtful, sometimes insightful, retelling of the timeless, oft-told Biblical tale of a brother's betrayal and ironic revenge.
The story begins with a naive 17 year-old Hebrew boy who ends up a powerful and wise 34 year old lord of Egypt. The sweeping tale takes us from Canaan to Egypt at the surge of its growth as an empire that ruled the world. Yet it's the personal, intimate aspects that bring about the story's power and universality.
Ben Afflect creates an effective voice characterization that actually reflects the life-challenging experiences of Joseph. The ensemble cast featurs the voice talents of mark Hamill, Judith Light, Maureen McGovern and Dan Castellaneta among others.
Nizo Yamamoto, who was art director on the stunning "PRINCESS MONONOKE" served as background supervisor. He created a special technique to generate the gentle softness of some of the dusky desert vistas. "I use an airbrush and spray water over the painting and then use a huge brush to soften the whole thing," he says. Over 500 artists from an international talent pool worked on this unusual project that was tweaked with break-through computer animation. In fact, not a single frame of film was exposed -- the entire movie was finished digitally.
The score was composed and orchestrated by Dan Pelfrey. John Bucchino wrote the songs. In some ways, as in "THE PRINCE OF EGYPT," the songs slow down the story telling and in fact take us out of the compelling story as adapted from the Bible by Eugenia and Raymond Singer. The direction was shared by Rob LaDuca and Rob Ramirez.
The DVD includes bonus features for the entiure family and all age groups from Sing-Along Songs to Storyboard Commentary to an Interactive Trivia Game and more.(DreamWorks, 74 minutes, Not Rated)
Exceptional!!!!!!!!!!
I was not expecting this movie to be as good as Prince of Egypt, but like the first review that I read, I think it is as good if not better than Prince of Egypt. The picture is vibrant and wonderful, the story is as close to the true story as possible, and the songs are absolutely WONDERFUL. My children loves this movie. It is a great story about forgiveness, love, and faith. I was suprised to find that Ben Affleck was the voice for Joseph. Although he is not my favorite actor he does a WONDERFUL job as the voice of Joseph. Much better than Matt Damon as the voice in Dreamworks movie "Spirit". Buy this movie, you will not be disappointed and your family will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish they had done more advertising for this movie and it had received more attention. It deserves it. I hope that Dreamworks does more films like this of the stories in the Bible!
