As is customary with movies that cover the history and doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the drama “Witnesses” will have different meaning and impact depending on whether the viewer is a believer in the faith.Witnesses 2021 full Movie Download In English.
For members, there’s nothing new in the movie’s overview of the church’s early history. They will nod with recognition at the steps of Joseph Smith’s journey — receiving the golden plates on which were written The Book of Mormon, working to translate the ancient language on those plates, and how he and his flock were persecuted across New York and the Midwest.Non-members will likely get stuck on how director Mark Goodman shows details of that history that, from an outside perspective, seem a little ludicrous. One example: The part where Smith (played by Paul Wuthrich) is looking at a “seer stone” in his hat as he translates the golden plates.
This is not meant to belittle my Latter-day Saint neighbors or their faith. Consider for a moment “The Book of Mormon,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s irreverent musical about Latter-day Saint missionaries trying to explain their faith to incredulous Africans. The story of The Book of Mormon (the actual book, not the play) may sound strange to those unfamiliar with it, Parker and Stone say — because, at heart, the origin stories of every religion sound weird when you say them out loud. The play’s message is that a faith’s value is not in the arcana, but in how it inspires its people to be better and kinder.Smith is the focus of the first half of “Witnesses,” written by veteran Latter-day Saint filmmaker Mitch Davis (who directed one of the first “Mormon Cinema” movies, 2001’s “The Other Side of Heaven”). Smith is such a charismatic figure, able to persuade crowds and sway grown men toward his fledgling religion, that he’s sure to overwhelm any movie about the church’s early days.
