The Carpenter Movie Review

The Carpenter is unlike any movie set in Biblical times that I have ever seen. Seen through the life of a fighter, this is a modern depiction of an ancient story.

The Carpenter

Synopsis: An adopted viking orphan becomes a carpenter’s apprentice to Jesus. The orphan, Oren, fights as a side hustle. His experience training as a carpenter with Jesus as his mentor changes his lifestyle.

I loved The Carpenter. It’s a very unique telling of a story from that time period. I thought it was very well done. The villages, the costumes. The fight scenes were made to look real. Although, while there is some blood shown on faces and hands, it is not gory. There is much less blood shown in this movie than in others with fight scenes. The editing of some of the action scenes was unusual. Certain parts of the scenes were shown in slow motion, in the middle of the scene. I enjoyed it, though.

The Carpenter Movie Review

Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from the movie. I can’t list all my favorites, there are too many!

“The goodness comes from the man who provides it to those in need. We are just serving it for him” – Aria

“The Father does not like to see his children suffer. But if he healed everyone when they wanted, it would deny them the chance to learn to avoid the pain and consequences.” – Yeshua

The scenes of Oren in the carpentry shop were full of lessons for all of us from Yeshua. These lessons change Oren’s life. He meets and falls in love, and gets married. Yeshua leaves town, and Oren finishes a big project they were working on. A couple of men come to pick up the project, a big table. The table is in the next scene of the last supper. Then Jesus is betrayed, and the screen goes black while we hear nails being hit with a hammer. The crucifixion scene is not shown. Jesus is resurrected, but a scene depicting that is not shown.

The movie ends with a very touching scene. Considering all the fight scenes, I wasn’t expecting the love between Yeshua and Oren to be the last scene. I loved the ending. It was just perfect.

The Carpenter is an action/drama/faith based movie. There are intense fight scenes, and slow moving dialogue scenes. This movie is rated PG-13. I recommend you stick to that age guideline. If you have a young teen that is sensitive to fighting, I suggest you watch The Carpenter first to see if it is appropriate for your teen.
