John Wycliffe: The Morning Star (1984)
John Wycliffe: The Morning Star
11 April 2005 - 4 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
This movie tells John Wycliffe's story from the time of his teaching days at Oxford though the desecration of his body after his death. This was a period when great spiritual darkness prevailed and the power of the Papacy was very immense. There was no true preaching of the Word of God and most people never saw a Bible. The movie is rather slow but gives a good overview of John Wycliffe's life and the challenges he faced in the name of the Lord. The period costumes are realistic and the movie was filmed in many of the actual locations. The running time is 75 minuets but this still seemed a bit too long thanks in part to long cuts lasting 20 to 30 seconds that show little action such as Wycliffe walking through England on his journey.
