 Excellent video and classicly well acted by Christopher Lee and Co.

Ephraim Ben Noach:
Great movie! I liked how Ramban said Jesus never said he was G-d, and his explanation of the Son of G-d!

Harzel:
I am certain the Ramban left us a true and honest account of the debate. Last evening I actually read his account of the disputation in Hebrew. The movie is pretty much in line with the text.

There are also Hebrew accounts from the Paris debate from the same era, and from the Tortosa debate which took place 150 years late also in Aragon but in a much less tolerant environment. And in these accounts it is obvious that the Jews were merely trying to get out of the whole thing in one piece. They were mainly trying to appease the Christians so they will leave them and the talmud alone (unsuccessfully). The Ramban, on the other hand, had a unique opportunity to speak the truth without fear and he took it.

Sveta:
Wow, I'm glad I found this in the old posts. I am so happy I found the movie here! I love it, minus the one who posted it on youtube. 
What a great movie.
