This parable is retold without dialogue.  However, the story is so familiar it works. 

Mormon Video: The Good Samaritan

This depiction of the Good Samaritan really adds depth to the story.  The actor of the Good Samaritan also portrays Jesus, and the actor of the victim also plays the lawyer who questions Jesus.  This story starts by providing insight as to why Jesus taught in parables.  The robbery scene is very brutal.  However, there is one who shows compassion.  I have been thinking about why the actor who portrayed Jesus also portrayed the Good Samaritan.  Could it be pointing to Jesus, who heals our wounds and makes us whole again when we fall among spiritual thieves such as sin, or unkind words or deeds.  I would strongly encourage you to give this movie a view.  It is very well done.  The concluding line, go and do likewise is very well put.
