#Watch the message 1976 with english subtitles movie#
When I watch it today, it still does! I don't believe anyone can watch this film and not become moved or even shaken by what he/she sees and hears! If the movie has one shortcoming, it's that the main character, prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), is never actually seen or heard, as it would have been a deadly sin to have an 'imposter' playing Him in the movie. When I first saw this film, it left me in tears and speechless for quite some time after. It's an experience of a lifetime! It shows the true meaning of Islam, its roots, its basic beliefs, and so much more. If you are a muslim, you must see this, if you are interested in Islam, you must see this, and all others should still see this.

The acting is fantastic, the music is good (won an academy award), and the cinematography, filmed in Morocco and Libya, is beautiful. The movie presents a decent snapshot of the times and the attitudes and lifestyles under which Islam developed. It's more similar to Braveheart than it is to Ben Hur or the Gospel of John. Definitely not a propaganda piece, but it's not a movie filled with facts, truth or fiction, more a movie of character and tone. It's accurate in that it tries to present the birth of Islam as most people today probably learn it. The plot focuses on the historical events rather than the Koran itself, which contains almost no history from its own period, and is therefore different from a lot of Biblical epics which present the historical events IN the Bible. Having said that, however, the film is still a very good depiction of the birth of Islam. I would like to have known a lot more about his life from the film, not his mannerisms or speech as depicted by a particular actor, but at least the major events of his life, his children, his wives, and so on. While this is well affected, it unfortunately removes him from a lot of the story. It was filmed in accordance with Islamic political correctness, so The Prophet himself is never depicted, visually or vocally. This film starts with Muhammed receiving the Koran from the angel Gabriel and ends at his death. I'm a history major who took several courses in the history of the Middle East and Islam, so nothing is going to be good or accurate or trivia filled enough for me, but it certainly didn't contradict anything I'd learned (for cinematic purposes or otherwise), and that's more than I can say for any historical epic I've seen in several years.
