 A rare treasure April 26, 2008

What a delightful surprise this movie is. Like other reviewers, my expectations of religious movies is not high. This one is exceptional. Mother Teresa, as portrayed by Olivia Hussey, just leaves one speechless in the face of her love and faith in action. I understand that the move has been praised by the Missionaries of Charity as an accurate, loving portrayal of their foundress. Certainly it does not try to hide or minimize her human frailty or the opposition that she had to overcome from governmental forces and even some within the Catholic Church. Her words and her life are inspiring, no other word for it. The only flaw in the movie, one easily overlooked, is the editing. It can get a little jumpy moving through time periods in her life. If I understood Italian I would order the original longer version, which no doubt is even better.

Not everyone will agree with Mother Teresa. Not every Christian will want to be identified with her. But this movie shows the passion that drove this wonderful saint to love the "poorest of the poor." Few can criticize her until the they have lived as she lived, sacrificed as she sacrificed, and loved as she loved. This film is well produced and well acted. The actors all work to bring the love of Christ to life in the film. The musical soundtrack is an additional actor that brings the story to life and the CD of the Soundtrack is worth buying! Mother Teresa is one of the best known names of the 20th Century and yet the movie fills in the blanks, shows the heart of one who lived the incarnation of God's love, and who lived the Sermon on the Mount. I may not agree with her biography, her views on other religions, but in the end...this film leaves every viewer inspired...and most of all, it leaves ever viewer with the hope that "Hey, I think I can do that with the people I know who need love." A truly inspiring film to be seen by everyone.

Beautiful Movie ... Spreading Good ... Portraying Hope
Genius in directing ,the line is blurr between Reality and Drama ...
The Acting is Truthful ...
Chapeau

I was given this movie as a gift this past Christmas. As a born Catholic I had heard of Mother Teresa. As a person of the world I knew she had won the Nobel Peace Prize. I had heard of this homely little brown nun who did good things. I had NO idea this movie would change my life. I cried during the entire movie thinking how little I have done to help the truly poor. Not jist in the world but in my own city where there are shelters for the homeless and soup kitchens for the hungry. Watching this movie changed my life. I was always only "into" my Furs and Jewelry and living like Liberace. When this movie ended I went upstairs to my closet and pulled boxes of shoes, racks of shirts, and brought them to our local shelter. I am not fit to kiss the MUD where Mother Teresa trod but hope someday if I make it to Heaven, thanks to her, I may be able to kiss the hem of her sari. God Bless You Mother until we meet. Dennis
