King David (1985)



Dutch
David doodde op jonge leeftijd Goliath. Nu is hij rivaal geworden van de ooit
machtige koning Saul. Maar als ze samen ten strijden trekken tegen de vijand,
weet David dat hij ooit de plek van Saul zou moeten innemen.

English
Director Bruce Beresford has safely stayed within the domain of the Bible and
not strayed into patches of Hollywood fiction in this routine version of the
story of David (Richard Gere). For that reason, anyone unfamiliar with Biblical
history might be puzzled by the episodic presentation of David's life. In the
opening scenes, Samuel condemns Saul and anoints the young David as his heir,
and in fairly quick succession David slays Goliath, incurs Saul's jealous wrath,
leaves, and, much later, comes back to rule after Saul has died. Once David is
on the throne, Bathsheba and then Absalom enter into the picture. Interspersed
are brutal scenes of fighting, but not much in the way of motivation for David's
complex behavior. Gaps in the narration or unclear motivation may be the result
of trying to cover too many events in a 114-minute running time.
