Product Description

On the streets of New York City in 1946, Jewish-American Bobby Goldman (JJ Feild) becomes best friends with Arab-Muslim Saïd Chahine (Saïd Taghmaoui). But when British-controlled Palestine erupts in war, these two intelligent and compassionate men will find themselves fighting on opposite sides of the historic battle for Jerusalem – the divided holy land whose name literally translates to ‘City Of Peace’. Oscar® nominee Tom Conti (REUBEN, REUBEN) co-stars in this epic saga of conflict, courage, and the fiery dawn of the state of Israel, featuring unforgettable performances by Academy Award® nominee Ian Holm (CHARIOTS OF FIRE) as David Ben-Gurion and Tovah Feldshuh (HOLOCAUST) as Golda Meir.

This review is from: O Jerusalem (DVD)
I thought that while the story was very compelling, the acting was pretty average at best, and awkward at times. It seemed more like a cheap, made for TV movie. I really expected to like it more than I did but just didn't find it very engaging.

This review is from: O Jerusalem (DVD)
First let me state that the potential of making a good movie out of the material should have been a given. However, the directing, acting and story line were terrible. I could hardly finish watching the movie. Save your money - there are much better movies out there covering Israel.

4.0 out of 5 stars O Jerusalem, May 30, 2009
This review is from: O Jerusalem (DVD)
The DVD "O Jerusalem" was somewhat thrilling in the presentation of the drama of the diverse ethnic backgrounds being placed in the cauldron of intransigence in the midst of the evolution of modern Israel. Having also read the book of the same title, I can imagine the unsettling feelings of both sides. What was then the catastrophe of human hatred, was then after left unmended with both the characters suffering the death of loved ones. This is still sad as the unfolding episode as we see it still outworks itself far beyond numerous handshakes on the white house lawn and more people of ill will wanting to continue the hatred and violence. When will Jerusalem be more than a vision of peace and become a reality? This is the question posed.
