This movie is taken straight from the book of Esther in the Bible (her name means star). It captured not only the love between the king(king Xerexes) and Esther, but courage to stand up for what is right for the persecution of Gods people, even when it might mean losing your own life.
My favorite part in the movie is when Esther goes before the king a second time and they have this conversation filled with meaning and she poured out her heart to him. Now the women who have been coming to him have all been adorned with jewlery I mean ALOT because even if they arent chosen by the king they get to keep it, but Esther who only wore her necklace that her parents gave to her before they died looked very simple, well when it came to the jewlery because her dress was soooo CUTE!
So King Xerexes says to her (paraphrased) "and how come you come with little jewlery do you think that low of yourself?" which makes sense but I think he was just shocked because jewlery didnt appeal to her the kings heart did (which she does say before he proposes!!) But before that Esther says this famous line that I love soo much she takes off her necklace the only remembrance of her parents and the only thing that holds her identity that she's Jewish she holds it out to him and says: "I give you my past, my present and my future" (OMG!!)
Even though King Xerxes took the necklace with no emotion like he didnt care he was kind of in the right seeing that he is a king. And that there were many women seeking to be his bride, but not all were sincere; he was simply gaurding his heart. But eventually at the end of the romantic and oh so lovely conversation he ends up proposing and the wedding was SO BEAUTIFUL!!! not to mention the wedding dress was CUTE!
THIS MOVIE IS A MUST SEE!!!
