I was moved to tears when I saw the actual holy nativity scene accompanied by the angelic music score and the build-up of the movie to that one scene had me involved connected with the characters and momentum of the movie. Another facet is Joseph doubting Mary's purity when having the child and the way that part was acted out, you could put yourself into Mary and how she would handle people believing what she was saying was true. The idea of Mary not being initially attracted to Joseph in an arranged marriage is also an interesting idea on it - this movie manages to see this relationship grow as they are both challenged to trust each other with the birth of this child and the work of God, and I think it's a powerful concept that is especially enhanced with this movie. The tests of faith would seem to build and strengthen the relationship between Mary and Joseph. The exchange between Mary and Elizabeth feeling each other's babies in the movie is also memorable. Get's 10 out of 10 in my books.
