(Don't talk about religion, just talk about movies) After watching the Egyptian prince, I can't help but lament the huge cost of the confrontation between different beliefs. I like this film, firstly because of the pictures and episodes in it, and secondly because the movie has shaped Moses who is full of humanity. When Moses returned to Egypt to meet Ramses, Moses was full of entanglement and pain. He wanted to take his people away, but he couldn't bear to cut off relations with Ramses completely, but since ancient times, we can't have both. . Every time Moses and Ramses met, especially in private, the tone of voice was like a conversation between a proud older brother and a naughty younger brother. There are two conversations under the sculpture in the movie, once at the beginning, both of them are princes, the only trouble is the punishment of the pharaoh, and Moses comforts Ramses. The second time, one was the pharaoh of Egypt and the other was the prophet of the Hebrews, but what they were talking about was reminiscent of childhood pranks, and it was still Moses who wanted to shorten the distance with Ramses. In Moses' heart, Egypt was his homeland, Ramses was his elder brother, and the old Pharaoh and his wife raised him and gave him all the best things. All of these memories are not something that Moses can forget if he wants to. After Ramses finally allowed Moses to take the Hebrews out of Egypt, on the way, Moses leaned against the wall and cried alone for the first time. I think Perhaps he was crying not only for finally fulfilling God's instructions, but also for the guilt of devastated Egypt and the loss of his son Ramses. In my favorite American drama "once upon a time", Uncle Jin said "every magic has its price". In the movie, Moses chose to be the messenger of God, and the price was to stand against his once dearest brother, so At the end of the movie, Moses can only whisper "Goodbye, brother" to Ramses who is calling his name on the other side, and then continue to lead his people to find their place. I wonder if Moses would be lost for a moment during his wandering journey for more than 40 years because he occasionally remembered the memories of himself and Ramses driving around wildly in the Egyptian royal court when he was a teenager?
Postscript: Putting aside the main contradiction, Ramses became a brother who loved and even doted on his younger brother. He took care of Moses. After Moses accidentally killed someone, he could say for Moses that he could reverse right and wrong and disregard the law. When you see Moses again many years later, you can declare to everyone that you forgive Moses for all his sins, because Moses is his younger brother and the prince of Egypt. But I don't think he is a good pharaoh, he is just following the old pharaoh's instructions, he must be resolute and decisive, and he cannot be swayed by anyone at will, and this is what led to his stubbornness. Everything has to be adaptable, Ramses is just too conservative, everything goes to extremes.
