Did anyone see the movie about St. Bernadette on EWTN recently? It really touched me and I was just interested in other people’s impressions. I don’t know how accurate of a portrayal it was, but it did touch me.
 
If it was an old (?1944) movie called The Song of Bernadette, it was the trigger to my eventual conversion to the Faith.

This one was a modern version. It had Italian-speaking(?) actors and english subtitles. I’ll have to check out the one you mentioned. It must be very good as well. 😃

Yes, I have seen it. It is a touching movie in how it interweaves the lives of people then and now. Also, the portrayal of Bernadette was very good.
There is another 2 part movie on Bernadette that also occasionally airs on EWTN, and can be purchased from their catalogue. (Two DVD’s, Bernadette Her Vision and the Passion of Bernadette.) I’ve seen both of these as well and they are excellant.

Of course the older, Song of Bernadette is a Classic. Wonderfully done.

The best thing about all of these is how innocent she is.
Totally disarming in her truthfulness and lack of selfish pride.

Peace
James
