Peter and Paul (1981 TV Movie)
10/10
Anthony Hokins' unforgettable, underrated, brilliant performance.
16 April 2023
Just like the previous review, I saw this movie in 1984 on a night I wanted to kill myself. It lead to my reading the Bible, which led to my conversion to Christ. Hopkins' brilliantly enunciated Welsh diction, and his compassion and drive as Paul are unforgettable. A deeply moving portrayal of Christianitiy's greatest, most brilliant advocate. In April, 1984, I set out from my house in great despair. I was 30 and my life until then had been a failure. I found I was afraid to kill myself, and asked God to take my life, since He had given me life. I ended up at a farmhouse outside of West Chicago, Il. There my brother was watching the teleplay of Peter and Paul on CBS. It was so full of quotes from the New Testament that God opened the eyes of my heart to the truth of who Jesus of Nazareth really was. Two days later I became a believer and now do open air preaching in Greece, just as Paul did.
