Did any one else notice?


the day Mary went into labor she was wearing blue...similar to how she is usually pictured and adored....also when Joseph carries her to find a place to give birth the view from above reminded me of the Pieta...maybe its just me..

did anyone else notice something like that

I don't think it was just you. Hard to imagine that wasn't intentional. Imagine making any film based on biblical stories, where there are at least a couple thousand years (for some stories, much longer than that) of impressions, tradition, preconceptions, etc. Can't be easy. I'd be surprised if the nod toward traditional depictions of the Pieta weren't intended.

I like how the wove the melodies of so many classic Christmas carols into the soundtrack with such subtlety.....

That musical montage greatly enhanced an already wonderful closing...excellent touch...music throughout better than average as it was a fairly difficult story to personalize, but mission was accomplished
