Exelent movie! What do you have to say about it?

I say excellent excellent movie! The characters, the animation, the story, the soundtrack...! (Do I sound like a baliff or what?)

But since this after all a nitpicking board...

Aaron has really gotten a character makeover here! If I read my Exodus correctly, he was supposed to go out and meet Moses in the desert and escort him back to Egypt and perform the signs before Pharaoh. In the film, he's the absolute doubting Thomas who won't believe in anything until he's safely across the Red Sea.

Tzipporah has had a character makeover too, but I'm a big fan of the movie Tzipporah anyway! In Exodus, she's a pretty one-dimensional character, and here she gets a personality. However, I note that the one detail that is given in the Pentateuch is faithfully recreated on screen: Tzipporah is much darker-skinned than Miriam or the other Hebrews. (Watch her hug Miriam at the film's end and you'll see the difference.)

I also note a few changes in the story. (Well, more than a few...) According to the Bible, Miriam suggested to Moses' adopted mother (Pharaoh's daughter, not his wife) that a Hebrew woman nurse the baby on her behalf, so that Yocheved was able to rear Moses to the age of three, inculcating him with a Jewish identity.

And the skill of Pharaoh's magicians is never challenged in the movie. Although we do see Moses' snake eat up theirs in the background, it is just that-- in the background. Also, we never see the magicians try and fail to stop Moses' plagues and counsel Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God!" As far as I can tell, the script is trying to emphasize the need for faith even when confronted by unmet challenges, a message which is pretty decent.

According to the Bible, Pharaoh died in the Red Sea with his army. But since he's Ramses, after all, and so Hollywood can't kill him, he's still with us. (Interestingly enough, in the Koranic version of the story, Pharaoh survives.)

Oh, and the Song of Moses (here, "When You Believe," a Golden-Globe winning song with excerpts from the original Hebrew) was actually sung after the crossing of the Sea, not at the exodus. But nowadays it's un-PC to exult over your enemies' downfall, so I can certainly see why the song got moved.

What do you have to say about it?

I think it's great that the movie promoted good values and told a Biblical story without making fun of the Bible or twisting the facts so much that the whole point of the story is changed.

What's really kind of ironic about this movie is that I felt (and I am not intending to insult anyone here) that as a film, it was interesting right up to where God showed up. Then it lost its steam for me (aside from some interesting and sometimes beautiful animation) and got a little boring. Maybe I was too familiar with the story already?

Anyhow, for great fun, try tacking on the words "Number One" to the Pharoah's dialogue at the beginning...

"One day, this kingdom will all be yours... Number One." :)

Actuaaly the Magicians, (They have names) vs. Moses was supposed to be a Our God vs. Their gods story. Every one of the plauges is a real event(Save one), the miracle is they happened when Moses needed them.

I can't believe I didn't notice this one before.

Queen, "It's here the river brought you and it's here the river ends," supported by the footage of baby Moses's river ride. Yes boys and girls, according to this, Pharaoh's palace and personal wading pool are located at the downstream mouth of the canal. Downstream. Where all the garbage that everybody up the river tosses in is bound to end up. Why does anyone build a palace at the downstream end of a river? And why doesn't this pool look like a trash dump?

Hmmm. Moses looks pretty young after returning from an FORTY YEAR stay in the wilderness. (He was 80 plus years old when he returned to Egypt.)

He was just about 80. Remember, the Israelites wandered for 40 years, and Moses died just before they crossed the Jordan, and he was 120, so he wasn't 80-plus, he was 80.

I was close.

The animation for this movie was awesome.
The parting of the Red Sea stands out as one of the best scenes in the whole movie.

However, Cecil B. Demille's version was a tad better.
