The only similarity this movie has to the Biblical record is the names of the principal characters. They didn't change SOME details - they changed almost ALL the details. At the beginning of the movie, a disclaimer was shown stating that the producers have changed some details of events for dramatic purposes, which is understandable. Seeing that this movie was made by Pure Flix Entertainment, a Christian movie production company, we thought we would see an accurate portrayal of this story. I'm extremely disappointed with how it turned out and I do not recommend this movie to anyone who's interested in the story of Esther. At some points, I thought I was watching a low budget theater show. I noticed right when I saw that it was poorly made. The outside home/ palace that's shown is clearly computerized. Unless I've been reading the story wrong my whole life, there were far too many errors for it to be named 'The Book of Esther.' Additionally, even if I didn't know the story of Esther, it looks like the movie was poorly made when switching scenes, the outside home/palace would be shown to say 'this is where the next scene is'. They might as well rename the movie and the characters because I don't remember any of this happening. The storyline is okay only very very few parts were true to the actual biblical story, but other than that, this is not what happened. I hope it's not like that 'Noah' (2014) movie, where the movie wasn't true to the actual story. When I first saw this title, I thought, 'oh okay. The fact that none of the events that happened in the movie happened in the book really saddens me. If this is what the movie is called, let it be true to its story. As I was watching this movie, the whole time I'm thinking, 'this doesn't happen!' This movie is called 'The Book of Esther'.
