Best movie ever!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Mother Teresa movie has 2 "versions" ...the long and the short...I highly recommend watching the long one. It shows the life of Mother Teresa from childhood. For me it's a very inspiring life that is portrayed in the brightest side possible. And this is a small warning about the story, especially for those that not big fans of what she did or even those that don't like Christianity. This movie takes only the best of Christianity and devotion of Mother Teresa. However I think the mission of this movie is to inspire people staying alert to injustices and it was extremely well done. I highly recommend it!
Thought I knew a lot about Mother Teresa and was ready to skip to next program when I heard "The Voice". Unchanged in over 45 years and unnerving: Lady Julietta by ear, but Mother Teresa by sight. Once again, she presents a near perfect rendition of a famous character with mannerisms and heartfelt simpatico within her sacred community.I was unaware of the political infighting to promote her 'brand' with the Church and her adamant refusal to cooperate. The controversy over her policy of no condom use in HIV affected regions created serious concerns for supporting her canonization and saintly elevation. However, one is hard pressed to overlook her many passions to elevate the conditions of the impoverished, if only to remind them, they are not forgotten.High recommend for Oliva fans, Christians and non-alike, Mother Teresa, her Sisters and bringing Hope alive!
Madre Teresa is a biographical TV movie based on the life of Mother Teresa,the founder of the Missionaries of Charity religious institute. The film stars Olivia Hussey in the title role.It was directed by Fabrizio Costa.A widely revered champion of the forgotten and starving masses, Mother Teresa had a combination of shrewd diplomatic skills and unwavering devotion to the power of hope that earned her the love and respect of world and, eventually, the Nobel Peace Prize. This tale of a modern-day saint comes home to inspire viewers of all faiths and backgrounds to follow their dreams of making the world a better place.Also,it shows how the determination of just one individual can make an entire world of difference.And probably,it also has the ability to inspire to do good thing for the betterment of the world and change one's life.
This film is so fantastic. Olivia's portrayal is outstanding! She plays it in such a real unaffected way, really a masterful performance! The film's two most beautiful characteristics, in my opinion, are that it's not a big-budget Hollywood film. It's simple, straightforward and inspiring: which in my opinion is, the way Mother Teresa would have wanted it. And, even though you think it won't, it has this internal power to make you weep when you look around and see the state of the world, and if there were only more people like this in the world, it would be a much better place. See this film. I guarantee you it will inspire you to be a better person.
