what kind of fantastic worship such a God? or such a film?

After watching it, I just want to use one sentence of Ramses to comment on What kind of fantastic worship such a God? What exactly does this movie want to express? The revolt of the Jewish people? Then I have to say that the performance is too pale, the length is too short, and the result is a failure (referring to the uprising that they relied on on their own strength), and even the role played by the leader Moses in the uprising is only a passing, too. too pale. Or do you want to express the power of God? That film really spoils God enough. The one who only cares about his own voters and treats the life of a nation that doesn't believe in himself as a piece of trash. To put it bluntly, how is a "God" better than a slave owner in Egypt? To put it further, this is the ancestor of fascism! Originally, Jews were enslaved and oppressed, and they were a group that should be sympathized with, but after a lot of tossing about this so-called "God", I felt in front of the screen that I felt deep sympathy for the innocent people of Egypt and those innocent dead children. , I even wanted to say "get out of here, NOW!" like Ramses.
What I wanted to see was the brave resistance of an oppressed nation, the battle of wits and sympathy between two leaders who were originally sympathetic brothers, or Add to that the merciful mercy of a looming god high above (that is, mercy for all the pains of the world, not the partiality of "their" chosen people and the killing of pagans). But what did I see? The director seems to be playing the seesaw with hesitation in expressing divine power or choosing human nature. The leader Moses changed from being sympathetic to Ramses to being completely opposite, it seems that it took only one night, a completely cliff-like change; In terms of the performance of gods, they took up too much space and did not really show divinity (all the space was used for the special effects of the ten disasters), and what we saw was that the people who were originally oppressed because of their "gods" "He also became an executioner in disguise, and then with the help of "God", he built his freedom on the blood and mourning of the Egyptian people. The uprising against the oppressors, while the revenge against the common people, is a "terrorist attack" in modern terms, so this movie tells the story of a terrorist attack with the help of divine power, so I'm sorry, such a story is only worth one A star, even for those special effects and pyramids.

    Emancipate the nation + liberate slaves + myth! The music is not brilliant, and the story is procrastinated and boring, and the final duel between brothers makes me feel so upset! When can I take a good Egyptian style? Seeing the male lead survived, I had the urge to kill the director! If it wasn't for my deep love for Pharaoh, I would give one star thanks!

Exodus: Gods and Kings quotes

  • High Priestess: [reading fowl entrails] In the battle a leader will be saved, and his savior will someday lead.

    Moses: [laughs] Then the entrails should also say that we will abandon reason and be guided by omens.

  • Hegep: Do you know what the problem is? People live too long these days. Every year the death rate lags further behind the birth rate. And these people, they reproduce like it's a sport.

    Moses: This is the problem? A growing work force?

    Hegep: Oh, no. No, of course not, it's good for production, of course it is. But only to a point. When that population wants you dead, yes, it's a problem. So either I'm given more troops to maintain order, or I start thinning out the herd.
