Goofs:

Miscellaneous: When Fr. Tardone goes to speak to the Bishop about Joshua, he tells the Bishop about "a man" who has come into the community. After describing a bit of what's been happening, regarding "the man," the Bishop asks Fr. Tardone, "And this Joshua can do that?" Fr. Tardone had never mentioned Joshua's name.

Quotes:

The Pope: Who are you?
Joshua: Peter, don't you know me? The world has become such a frightening place. There's so much anger and not enough love. Deep in their hearts of so many people, there is an emptiness that nothing in this world can fill. And that emptiness makes it impossible for them to love.
The Pope: It's so overwhelming. What should I do?
Joshua: Remind them that I love them. That I died for them. Tell them that my love is real. That if they open their hearts to it, I will fill that emptiness and that they will be able to love one another. That's the message. Hasn't changed. Tell them. Tell them...

OUTSTANDING, UPLIFTING

The film "Joshua" was a pure delight.

It was such a refreshing change from the junk that is on the screen today. To see a movie with no swearing or sex was a refreshing change.

I loved the movie as did my husband. It made me cry for joy.

There was a beautiful message to this movie of hope and love.

The first time I had seen it I was at first a bit perplexed as to who Joshua really was. It didn't take long for me to figure it out, and when I did I cried with absolute joy.

What a treasure this movie is and one that I recommend everyone to see.
