The very human Moses

Melba 2022-04-20 09:01:37

An animated version of Exodus, just organized through the perspective of Moses as the prince of Egypt. Searching for freedom is of course an eternal theme, but God is still cruel, so why is the suffering that fell on the Egyptian people not painful? Of course, as a bystander, if someone was violent to My people, maybe I wouldn't take it so lightly. I like Moses, who is not the representative of the severe god in religious history, but more tender and human. Those pure deer-like eyes always show compassion and innocence, sympathy for slaves, helplessness for one's life experience, and complex emotions of love and hate for his brother, which makes me feel that this person who looks strong and excellent is still as usual in his heart. People are generally affectionate.
Do people have to bear hardships when they come into this world? One can't help but wonder, is Moses happy as a teenager playing pranks with his older brother, or is he happy to finally see the people safely back on the promised land?
Faith matters! ? What is it that is seen through the eyes of God? Maybe a hundred years later, I will find the answer.

In addition, the soundtrack of this animation is really good! Especially the ending song, it feels like a familiar melody once, which folk song is it from, or an episode from "The Condor Heroes"? do not know! Hope to have some pointers from those who have researched! Thanks!
