Well, everyone, today, we are going to review a music special that features opera singer Andrea Bocelli. So now, let’s discuss The Journey: A Music Special With Andrea Bocelli.
Plot: The film centers around Andrea Bocelli, and his wife. It begins with a blessing from the Pope, followed by their travel on horseback from Vatican City, and along Italy’s famous Via Francigena, and into their Italian estate. Along the way, they encounter bands, and artists such as 40 Fingers, Michael W. Smith, Tauren Wells, 2 Cellos, Katherine Jenkins, and Taya Smith of Hillsong United, among others. During this journey, Andrea, and his companions perform with some of these artist, and bands, as well as get to hear some of their testimonies.
Wow, what a great film. First of all, for those of us that have had an appreciation for opera, or Christian music, how could one not like this film? Honestly, I would say that if one has at least loves opera, but isn’t a Christian, such a person should still go see this film, and hopefully with an open mind. Wow, for those of us that at least knew that Bocelli was an opera singer, but not that he was a Christian, then what a great way to find out both about him. As you watch this film, you really get to know more about Andrea Bocelli, his wife, and a bit about his kid’s lives as well. Not only that, but we get to learn more about Michael W. Smith, and Tauren Wells, and most of the other artists, and bands that we may not have known about them before. The score is also great, and it’s overall really cool to see Andrea Bocelli, and his family interact with these different people either on stage, or on the road as they travel to Bocelli’s estate (or even both). Oh, and the different musical instruments that are heard throughout this film are amazing. One other thing to mention is that, for those who are not Christians, but still see this film, that they will desire to know Jesus, and accept Him into their lives. But for those that are already Christians, and see this film, hopefully this film/documentary/music special will have their faith in Jesus strengthened even more than before. Finally, it’s amazing the lessons that can be taken away from this film, and how we, the audience, can likely have a slightly, if not fully, better, perspective on life.
And that’s my review for Journey: A Music Special With Andrea Bocelli. Honestly, one of my hopes for those that see this film is that it will help them either desire to accept Christ, or grow in their faith in Him. This is a film that has humans who are truly genuine about their faith, and their journey to finding the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, and just having the reminder that music can have have a powerful effect on people is a great reminder too. So, if you haven’t seen this film yet, definitely try to either tonight, tomorrow night, or Thursday night. But if, for some reason, you are unable to see it, then watch for when it comes out on video. Either way, you won’t want to miss this film that will most likely have something for everyone. So, go see The Journey: A Music Special With Andrea Bocelli, and see what you think!
