The Star

4 stars

02 Dec 2020

Today is the 2nd of December 2020 which also means the second day of Advent this is my second film during my Christmas challenge I think I am doing really well so far don't you think. So today I am writing a review on the film called The Star which was made in 2017 so that means this film is three years old. My Mum's favourite character in this film was the donkey whose name is Bo which is the name that Mary gave to him. My favourite characters in the film would be Mary because she was so kind and caring to the creature when the miller was not kind to the poor animal and my other character I like was Abby the little pygmy jerboa/mouse because she is so cute I would of liked her as a pet but I do feel sorry for her in the film because she had missed Mary getting to Bethlehem so when she finally gets to Bethlehem and the stable where she finds Mary to past the message on to her she finds that Mary and her husband Joseph and the baby Jesus are safe and sound so she does not have to worry no more. The message is that Mary is in danger because the evil king Herod wants to find this new king and kill it but will the three wise men go back to him and tell him where the baby is or will they keep God's son a secret from King Herod watch the film to find out what they decide.

The film called The Star is about A small but brave donkey named Bo who yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day, he finds the courage to break free, embarking on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a lovable sheep who has lost her flock, and Dave, a dove who has lofty aspirations. Along with three camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told -- the first Christmas. This is the end of my second film review and that film called The Star which gets a four star rating which means I liked it because I can't give this film five stars because It is more aimed for younger viewers than adults but I still really enjoyed this film because it made me believe in Jesus and have Christmas spirit. Thank you for reading my second film review tomorrow my film will be the first one of The Angry Birds because I have seen the second one.
