I watched it because of the voice of Ralph Fiennes and the background in Egypt. Actually, I am not that interested in the story of exodus itself. The artistic level of cartoons is very high, and it is true that religious education starts from dolls. But for a non-Christian, there are many things that people find it difficult to agree with. For example, if they leave Egypt for their own family, they will bring down ten disasters to those innocent people. The biggest one is to take the eldest son of every household! Is it a hooligan or a righteousness to sacrifice the interests of other nations at will for the benefit of one's own nation?

As a prince who was raised in the palace since childhood, Moses did not sympathize with slaves at first, but only because he accidentally knew his own life experience. But after all, I grew up in such an environment since I was a child. Is it really saying goodbye to say goodbye? It doesn't feel like he's struggling, it's not very human.

The kind of behavior he did to his brother could be called betrayal, and it also made people feel very impersonal. On the contrary, his brother still cared about his old feelings.
