Just got back from the theater to see David with my family. Real talk it was a good movie. I’d give it a solid 7.5 out of 10, better than any animated Disney film I’ve seen since Encanto. It’s less Jewish or Christian propaganda and more just the story of David as a boy up until becoming king with an emphasis on how David trusts in God. It had funny parts that made people in the theater laugh and it had parts with a sense of danger. It was much better than I thought it was going to be.
>>151820937tell me how they handle killing Goliath. i find it hard to imagine how what's essentially described as a cold bloodied killing via bludgeoning could get interpreted for a PG kids movie
>>151821112He’s boasting and talking trash then gets interrupted by getting bonked in the head with a rock and falls on his face, it was pretty funny and very PG. David doesn’t chop his head off.
>>151820937I'll be the judge. I'm still skeptical, but I'm always on the lookout for more Bible adaptations so I think I'll give it a chance.
The reason people make these kinds of movies is that they have a built in audience who will be uncritical and want the film to succeed even if it doesn't hold up, and I've seen nothing to suggest that isn't the case with David.
There should be an adult animated series about David's entire life. His rise, his reign, his sin, his fall, his reconciliation. It would be kino. Just adapt both books of Samuel.
