Unknown encounters are beautiful

Knowing this movie is actually from its theme song, when you believe, the collaboration between Mariah and Whitney, two American diva Diva, made this classic. Yesterday afternoon, I wanted to drop the name of the elective course. I heard a movie in the large lecture hall downstairs. The ceiling of the classroom is very high. There are windows on the first and second floors. I took a look at the window on the second floor. , almost at a glance I concluded that it was an Egyptian prince, which was a wonderful feeling. In fact, I didn't know anything about the movie except the name. After watching the movie, I suddenly realized that this is the story of Moses leading the Jews to cross the Red Sea! The incarnation of the Jewish ancestors in the film, the so-called gods, empowered Moses and gave him the task of liberating the Jews. Moses took on this important task and had to become an enemy with his "brother" who grew up with him, because "brother" was the Egyptian who ruled over many of Moses' compatriots. In the process, Moses' inner pain and struggle are highlighted in the film. After all, Moses came from a saint. He had already made a choice in his own interests and the interests of others, and finally led his compatriots out of Egypt to cross the Red Sea to regain hope and freedom. There is a clip in the film where the Jewish gods asked Moses to smear the blood of a ram on the door of the Jewish house, so that he would not accidentally injure the Jews when he took the life of the eldest son from the Egyptian family at night. It's hard to imagine how a god who should be merciful could use such extreme means to harm innocent children and the Egyptian people? ! Later, I gradually figured out that it was karma. The Egyptian Pharaoh, worried about Jewish revolt, ordered that all Jewish babies be taken away and executed, and the Egyptians would have to pay the same price. In addition, the gods want to bless their own people. In front of the people, he is a kind and loving God, but in front of the enemy who wants to hurt his people, he will become a devil. In fact, this is human nature. The music in the film has a very Middle Eastern flavor and is very visual. Many of the dialogues are sung, giving the illusion of watching a musical. Especially at the end, the Jews sang the song when you believe together, which was mixed with Jewish songs. It was completely different from the arrangement of the chorus version of Tianhou, but it was also very moving, the magnificent scene, and the atmospheric harmony, which made people full of expectations for the future. The hope of freedom, the yearning for freedom, humming along unconsciously, crossing the Red Sea, is the paradise of life. I just stood at the window and "peeked" through the movie. Such an encounter was unpredictable, but it was enough for me to remember because it was beautiful and beautiful.

    It truly reproduces the scenes of the "Bible Exodus", but the description of God lacks a sense of solemnity and is only a flowing light, which is probably the biggest criticism. It's the music that actually saves the movie's life.

    It can be regarded as an audio-visual feast. The style of painting is very pioneering. It is in the same line with the adult trilogy led by Osamu Tezuka in the 1970s and "The Wall" in the 1980s. Based on the development of technology, hand-painting has been assisted by computers. The expressiveness is amazing. If Moses and Ramses drove wildly at the beginning, they only used flexible perspective changes and wild painting styles to render the sense of action (and added a bit of leaky basic entertainment), then Moses at the back separated from the sea. , the gray tone of Ramses' death, and other scenes are simply avant-garde and exquisite works of art with strong emotions. In contrast, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. The story is adapted from "Exodus". In fact, religion is a survival strategy in a specific environment. Behind it is the patriarchal dogma of cooperation within the ethnic society and encroachment of the outside world. The Hebrews threw their children into the Egyptian palace for several years. Later, he grew up to be a Hebrew who recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestry without a teacher. At that time, he said that having more children is always useful, and the people behind him are the real gods, so the ancient Egypt perished.

The Prince of Egypt quotes

  • Jethro: [singing] A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shine, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design. And the stone that sits on the very top of the mountain's mighty face, does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base? So how can you see what your life is worth, or where your value lies? You can never see through the eyes of man... You must look at your life, look at your life through Heaven's eyes!

  • Yocheved: [singing, while wrapping a blanket around her baby and hiding it in her arms] Yal-di ha-tor veh he ha-rach...

    [My good and tender son]

    Yocheved: Al ti-ra, veh al tif-chad.

    [Don't be frightened and don't be scared]

    Yocheved: My son, I have nothing I can give, but this chance that you may live. I pray we'll meet again, if He will deliver us...

    [Yocheved, Miriam and Aaron race to the river with the baby]

    Chorus: Deliver us, hear our prayer, deliver us from despair, these years of slavery grow too cruel to stand! Deliver us, there's a land you promised us, deliver us out of bondage and deliver us to the promised land...

    Yocheved: [placing the baby in the basket] Hush now, my baby. Be still, love, don't cry. Sleep as you're rocked by the stream. Sleep and remember my last lullaby, so I'll be with you when you dream. River, oh river, flow gently for me. Such precious cargo you bear. Do you know somewhere he can live free? River, deliver him there...
