5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Lilies of the Field - A Classic 7/27/2006 Most of the other reviews have already stated what is well known to anyone who has ever seen this movie. It is an absolute joy to watch, and seeing it is always an uplifting experience. Some of the so-called professional movie reviewers suggest that Lilies of the Field is simplistic - but it most certainly is not. It has a raft of themes relating to conviction, determination, belief, community and, above all, having a higher sense of purpose in life. It is beautifully filmed in black and white and, of course, features outstanding performances from Sidney Poitier, Lilia Skala and Stanley Adams. Movies like this, made on a very small budget, make you realize the incredible void in talent and imagination that currently exists in the modern movie industry - talent seems to have given way to special effects and high tech gimmicks. The other feature of Lilies of the Field is that it is a positive movie that doesn't indulge in the negativity of the current plethora of big budget movies that are around. If you haven't seen Lilies of the Field before, it is a must-see movie. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

What distinguishes Poitier from other actors that I have seen is the way in which he embodies the characters he brings to the screen. Poitier has the grace of a dancer and the presence of a prize fighter. His combination of charisma and realism in the role of Homer Smith absolutely grabs your attention and you can't help but watch him. Smith is an unemployed man, who is highly skilled with his hands and willing to take on odd jobs to make his way out of a small town in the Southwest. By a strange twist of fate, he encounters an Eastern European nun, Mother Superior Maria (Lilia Skala), who has prayed to God that she be brought someone to build a chapel for the large immigrant population in her parish. (They are holding worship services literally in the middle of the desert, with not church in sight.) Every time Homer tries to leave, (seemingly) a higher power keeps bringing him back to Maria and the other sisters (who speak few words of English). Not only is this film a great examination of faith and the power of prayer, but it also is a great examination of racial and cultural relations in 1960s United States, through the eyes of immigrants and an outsider. This film is intelligent, without being preachy. It will even make you smile. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

Not much action, but very heartwarming. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
