Saul e David (1964)
1/10
Anti-Semitic?
18 May 2014
I arrived at this film somewhere in the first reel. I was impressed with the theatrical accomplishments. But as the scene depicting the confrontation between David and Goliath, and particularly the accolades heaped upon David because of his victory, I could not help but notice that David (the hero) was blond and blue-eyed, while all of his countrymen were dark-haired and brown-eyed. Why would David be Aryan? I can only assume that the filmmakers were sending a message of anti-Semitism. The broadcast I watched did not acknowledge the source of this film. How offensive that the Trinity Broadcasting Network gives this film their "blessing".
