The Prophet (2014)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I love this movie so much

Fresh and Exciting

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This film had me by the heart the whole way through and on the verge of tears. Very beautiful in so many ways... Kahil Gibran's words, the artwork, animation, the music and the story. Thank you to all of those who created this gift to the world. X

Having seen Disney & animated movies since childhood in Bombay , I was expecting something different. I have had the book sine 1988 which was given as a gift and having read it many times over , I should have visualized it to be different. But I was so dumbstruck after it was finished that I Couldn,t stop crying and the feeling of joy I felt.The entire film was based on the excellent Animation, combining 2-3 different ones combined to make this a masterpiece . Yet nowhere is the name Bardel Animation Colouring House been once mentioned. I am delighted that the names of the Animators were put. The tears were for the hardworking CEO & VICE PRESIDENT of Bardel who lifted the work on their shoulders when others though it could not be done, we're not once mentioned.The feeling of joy was what a MOTHER feels to see what her daughter has achieved through the hard work and self discipline. I saw it on the Premier night. Hope to see it soon again.

Usually I am a little annoyed on a lengthy animation, but I would look at every frame of this movie. Sublime and so surreal. The blend of a Disney movie with the air of unreal imaginable art. A classic not to be missed. Clearly these directors are artist. Duh, what are directors but artist, and artist, directors, but the vision given to this film is high! The details, the movement, the colors gave me such a rush. Having read the book many many times, I appreciated the visuals. I loved this movie, as you can see. Kudos to the actors for keeping an amazing pace and flow to the story. So,what else can you say about a masterpiece. Either the theater propped it or there was a serial type promo at the beginning of the movie gave it that nostalgic feel, like a Disney movie. However I did see it in classic theater in Beverly Hills gave me that classic glory days feel of filmdom. See it!

How many times have you read an excellent book and been so disappointed when you watch it as a movie?I was afraid to watch The Prophet. I was so afraid to spoil all the imagination I have had every time I have read The Prophet or even a small part of it from time to time. And The Prophet isn't just an excellent book. For me it is a philosophy of life, a reference, an anchor. So yes, I was really afraid to watch the movie, but I did, because I have to.The colors, the sounds, the settings, the music, the voices, everything about this movie woke up Gibran inside me. It is like he came to life, or maybe I just want to believe that?The movie looks like the paintings and drawings in Gibran's museum in Becharre (Lebanon), it feels like the makers knew Gibran, it feels like they understood him... there is his touch in the movie... or is it just me?The movie is a must, especially if you're a Gibran addict (because you cannot just "like" Gibran Kahlil Gibran).It is an artistic masterpiece, thank you!
