    • Quotes

      Hagai: [leading Esther to Xerxes chambers] You can let go of my arm now. He will be the fortunate one to choose you... He will be the one who congratulations are due...

      [she still won't let go]

      Hagai: Esther, my arm.

      Queen Esther: [in Xerxes's chambers, walking towards the stool]

      King Xerxes: [standing in the shadows] The scroll is on the stool. You may begin when ever you are ready.

      Queen Esther: [glances at the stool and back towards Xerxes]

      King Xerxes: [pacing around] Is there a problem?... Did they not tell you I weary at this procession of candidates? I simply wanted someone to...

      [stops and looks at Esther]

      King Xerxes: Wait. You were the one who read to me before. You tried to beguile me with love stories. Did you not think I had the sense to see through your little parable? The arrogance, you speak to me as I were this Rachel, in need of help to look after my father's sheep!

      Queen Esther: My lord, I meant no disrespect.

      King Xerxes: [walking towards her] And this is how you come to see me? Your only adornment before your one night with the king.

      Queen Esther: It is, your majesty.

      King Xerxes: You consider yourself of so little worth, that I could purchase your love so cheaply.

      Queen Esther: I was taught... that when you visit a King, rather than expect a gift, one should bring one to lay at his feet.

      [removes her necklace and offers it to him]

      Queen Esther: This is my most valuable possession in the world. It is my past, my present, and my future. And all of it is yours.

      King Xerxes: [takes her necklace and turns away] Some would call you foolish, indeed. As they would call your Jacob. Of all commodities, love is the easiest... and the most cheaply purchased.

      Queen Esther: [considerate] If it is for sale, my lord. It is not love.

      King Xerxes: Even you...

      [moving closer]

      King Xerxes: Even you must have a price.

      Queen Esther: I am neither a buyer nor a seller of love.

      King Xerxes: [earnestly] Suppose, my lady. A man offered you a more treasured gift. Say a kingdom.

      Queen Esther: [near tears] The only gift I would accept is your heart.

      King Xerxes: [taking her hands] Than it is yours. And you didn't have to serve 7 years to get it. Tell me, Esther of Susa. Who are you really? Tell me of your people. Teach me of your ways.

      Queen Esther: My father told me it takes the glory of God to conceal a matter. And it takes the honor of Kings to search it out.

      King Xerxes: Than marry me and we shall spend an eternity discovering this 'truth'... together.

    Too much Harlequin to little history
    I went to see this film in hopes that it might be worth seeing. It was to the extent that it had a few good actors and ornate costumes. The problem was that there was so much focus on making it a romance. There is way to much of "Xerxes" bare (or scantily covered chest) and much too little of dramatic story, which is the main strength of the story of Haddasah (Esther). Most of the acting was mediocre and some big name stars got very little to work with. Portraying Greeks and the Jewish people of the time as "prodemocracy" is very much of a stretch. The story was muddled as was much of the history. There was very thin plotting and so many characters were introduced that one would have a hard time keeping track of them, or what purpose they served to the story.
