- The Chosen
Opened my eyes of my heart to the Jewish way of life with more understanding of traditions and beliefs. How I appreciate these types of filming. We need more of them.

- EXCELLENT DVD TRANSFER! "The Chosen" and their choices
First off,the DVD transfer of the 1981 Jeremy Kagan directed THE CHOSEN is outstanding, both in WIDESCREEN and FULL SCREEN.The picture and sound are crystal clear as if filmed yesterday.Great buy for $4+.
Now...the film itself; I saw this wonderful film 3 times in the arthouses in 1981.Jeremy Kagan, who directed this wonderful E.Gordon screenplay adaptation of Chaim Potok's novel, was to go on to win Emmy's for "Chicago Hope";but in 1981 he took on the task of assembling Oscar winners Rod Steiger and Maximilian Schell, along with then young talents Robby Benson and Barry Miller,both later Golden Globe nominees,to tell the complex story of two Jewish teenagers and their vastly different fathers from vastly different Jewish sects in 1940's Brooklyn.

- Great Insight Between Two Cultures

A very well written and acted movie. It gave me a great insight into the Hasidim community and a thought provoking view into a very complex time in our history as is experienced between two friends from two different backgrounds.

I had viewed it in 1988 and never forgot it, and am glad that it is available in DVD format. The performances were outstanding.

I highly recommend this film.

- school report turned fantastic movie
I bought this movie out of necessity, and it will now be in my collection for years to come. The description does not do the movie justice. I had to write a report on the differences and similarities of the families in this movie for a college course, who would have guessed that what I was getting was fantastically entertaining. The struggles and family values you see here are really missing in today's family groups, though we express our culture very differently now this movie transports you to a better way of life at a troubled time in the history of the world these two teens teach us about life and friendship in the face of adversity and change.
As for my experience with Amazon, it was spot on, my shipment came quickly and the movie was priced very competitively I will defiantly be purchasing ... Read More

- Great book, good movie, marginal dvd version
If you loved the book, you'll really enjoy the movie. Though the characters don't always resemble their written siblings, it isn't distracting. Unfortunately, the DVD is uneven in color and audio. Rod Steiger is fabulous, though his accent doesn't reflect the character's russian origins. This you should enjoy!
