Purim - in The Media

In The Media

A movie (2006, Rated PG) called "One Night With The King" chronicles the life of the young Jewish girl, Hadassah, who goes on to become the Biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia, and saves the Jewish nation from annihilation at the hands of its arch enemy while winning the heart of the fiercely handsome King Xerxes. The storyline of the movie differs from the storyline of the bible; such as the characters interactions and timelines. There are also two feasts (after Esther "goes before the king" that could potentially end her life due to protocol) prepared for the king in the bible, whereas the movie depicts only one.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.
    Serge Daney (1944–1992)
