The Nativity Story takes into account the period before the birth of Jesus Christ; it is a review of the biblical narrative of Jesus' birth. The story begins with Mary, a young girl who gets married to Joseph, but it unable to consummate the marriage with him. One night an angel comes to her in her dream and tells her that she will bear the Son of God, knowing this she goes to Zachariah, whose wife comforts her and finds her a safe place for until she is pregnant. When Mary returns to her town, she is shunned by all, but accepted by Joseph, due to the fact that the same angel appears to Joseph and tells him that Mary is pure and innocent. He too, is then shunned by the town; they travel to Bethlehem because of King Herod's orders for people to return to the towns of their birth. Herod did that because of a prophecy foreseeing the coming of the Messiah, the savior, and ultimately his destroyer. However when Herod finds out from the three priests that Messiah is not a grown man, but a baby, he orders his soldiers to kill all the babies in Bethlehem. Meanwhile, Mary and Joseph seek refuge in a stable, where she gives birth to Jesus Christ. The three priests come to the stable bringing the gift of gold, myrrh, and incense. By morning they escape the soldiers' massacre as they depart Bethlehem.
This story is related to Christianity as it speaks of the most influential figures in the religion. It marks the beginning of Christianity and also enforces the presence of God amongst his people and the ideology that Jesus' birth was of a divine nature and also that God is capable of all things. It tells about the struggles that Mary and Joseph faced and how faith in God carried them safely to Bethlehem to fulfill the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah.

Well what I can say about this movie, nothing except it was wonderful and the way it was documented was exceptional. Although I must admit I do on occasions enjoy some of the other movies that are less focused on the true meaning of Christmas. However this particular Nativity Story I would defiantely watch again it displays the true meaning of Christmas. I think all families should watch this movie together maybe it would put everyone, including the children back into perspective of the true meaning of Christmas. In todays society most children believe Christmas is all about Santa Claus, shopping, gifts, wrapping and not to mention food. I have felt for a long time that Christmas is to commercialized, even when people do not have the money they add to their debt. I think this movie did a pretty good job demonstrating the need for everyone, not just families to join together. Ofcourse everybody has seen all sorts of Christmas movies and to me they all seem to follow the same commercialized storyline. I would have to admit I myself thought it would closely resemble most movies today but I was wrong on this one which I have been before. I am actually glad I was wrong because it brought me back to the real reasons we celebrate the Christmas holiday. I was really touched by this movie it displayed the struggles that Mary and Joseph went through. I still have a hard time, as do others Im sure, understanding Marys pregnancy. Although this movie was serious there were some areas it was funny such as the three wise men and their humor. However, Im not 100% sure but I do not believe there were three wise men were known in the Bible but what their three gifts were.

The Nativity Story starring Keisha Castle-Hughes is the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. This film is directed by Catherine Hardwicke who also directed Thirteen, what a drastic change from that arena. I like this film but I just feel the whole uplifting story of Mary and Joseph and the judgments that they faced didn't go into greater detail. The acting is great but I was hoping for a more well-rounded movie, decide for yourself.

The Nativity Story came out last Christmas, but since I try to limit my theater experience to about 1 movie a year, I passed on this movie then. It flew through the theater and I forgot about it until a friend loaned it to Sheralie. We decided to watch for Christmas Eve.
I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. The story is obviously the nativity story, but the characters speak English, though with an accent. I'm not sure why they bother with the accent, since we know they weren't speaking English back then, but maybe it is to remind us that they were in the Middle East. Phony accents aside, it was a pretty good movie. If you are like me, you have heard the nativity story over 100X, so it is nice to get a fresh perspective on it that makes you think about things a little differently.
Overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend for all viewers over 8, though you may want to wait until Christmas for more effect.
