Inaccuracies In One Night With The King
Critique: One Night with the King

One Night with the King is a modern retelling of the story of Hadassah or Esther. The directors and producers were able to execute the movie well, however, there were some minor inaccuracies.
In Esther chapter 1:10-11, it says that King Xerxes was in high spirits when he requested for Queen Vashti. In the movie, when the King requested for Queen Vashti, he was not in high spirits, he was broody or thoughtful. It was also not King Xerxes’ idea to request for Vashti, unlike the book implies, it was actually the people and the nobles who requested for Vashti. Another one of these minor inaccuracies can be seen in Esther chapter 5:3 when the King says that he is willing
