One of the Best Movies I have seen in the last few years. I consider this Movie a \"Must See\" for everyone. A small, poor, peaceful... lage where a Monestary and the muslim population have coexisted for centuries. Where the Monks are part of the villages's life, and meaning. Where they have friends amoung the Imans, and people: Being invited to parties, and dinners; the monks taking care of the village's sick and infirm. Only to be broken by a Radical Muslim Group, and the Unforgiving and Ruthless Army that is fighting the Radical Muslims. The Monks, and village are caught between these two powers, and their war. The Strength the Monks show, helps the people of the town, who fear the Radical Muslim Group, and the Army. As I said,\"This is a Must See for everyone.\" Full Review

It was a very moving drama contrasting war and peace. The story line provides a splendid explanation of the incarnation of Jesus and what that means... to his followers. Full Review

I know that subtitled movies aren't for everyone, but the cinematography in this movie is spectacular. The acting is wonderful,... ou forget you are watching actors and believe they are all men of God. Their struggle with doing what's right: for themselved, their faith, their friends, and their home, is epic. I don't know what I would do in the face of such adversity and unrest, but the story of these Trappist monks is inspirational and very much real life...no one really knows how they will react if and when their faith, or beliefs, or safety are threatened. Go see it. Full Review
