On the other hand, if you watch this film for the purpose of popularizing history, there are many things to be excited about. First of all, at the beginning of the movie, the battle of Kadeshi between the 18th Dynasty and the Hittites was staged. Although the film cannot reproduce 3,200 years ago due to limited scenes, pay attention to the century battle of 4,200 chariots 3,200 years ago. The campaign was adapted into a skirmish, but for the first time on the screen, it was exciting to see Egyptian chariots charging with all their arrows. Secondly, the movie recreates the pearl of the Upper Nile in the ancient kingdom of Egypt - the city of Memphis, built on the world's largest river, surrounded by several huge pyramids such as Khufu and Khafre, extending from the magnificent palace to the avenue. Allowing four chariots to reach the battlefield side by side, the world's most magnificent and grand first metropolis was unprecedentedly grand, and it will not be able to compete with Linzi Xian, the capital of Qi, a thousand years later. Of course, there is also the movie's villain, Ramen Xishi II. This pharaoh who fought foreign affairs and internal affairs reigned for 67 years, representing the most prosperous era of the entire medieval dynasty, leaving countless sculptures, buildings and inscriptions. There are also protagonists Moses, Joshua and the "Ten Commandments", not to mention repeating them.
When it comes to religion, in fact, the "Bible" of any religion is a tool for sensuality. Anyway, it talks about how invincible one's own god is in front of other gods, winning every battle and being omnipotent. The title of the film is "Pharaoh and the Gods". In fact, there is only one god, Jehovah. The gods of Egypt, from La to Horus, from Osiris to Anubis, all died before the film began. In the face of Moses' aggressive "miracle", he had no power to fight back, leaving his people to be reduced to swords. On the other hand, God slaughtered countless living beings for the exodus of the Jews. The cattle, sheep, fish, frogs, and even children in Memphis were all killed. Just because of fornication and depravity, God sent hellfire to kill the entire city of Sodom. In the same way, such a cruel God really does not understand any reason to follow him. And this is precisely the reason why later Christians, when they colonized overseas, cruelly treated the so-called "infidels" in the colonies, and continued to perpetuate the "evil" of a God who was not actually kind at all.
After complaining about the digression, let’s go back to the film itself, with Christian’s participation, and the special effects of photography are all well done. At least the last big wave in the Red Sea can be shot on the scary water wall of “Interstellar”, and it is also a good performance. Epic popcorn.
Recommended for those who are interested in religion, history, or visual blockbusters. It is wonderful and not a collection.
