according to Longman (Longman) Dictionary, if the word is in the form of excodus, then it only means "departures", if it is in the form of Excodus, then it will be more of an exodus reference. So before watching it, I was looking forward to seeing if it was a bold attempt, maybe to see more than Exodus.
But it turns out that this is not a new story, but it is not written from God's perspective like the Bible. Moses and Pharaoh here have more brotherly feelings, which is the interpretation of this story as people on earth.
The highlight here is the CG special effects, when the ancient Bible stories are depicted by the skilled craftsmen of all dynasties with their own unique skills, up to the dome of the Holy See, down to the side hall of the ear chamber in the depths of the cemetery, up to the beginning of pure gold. , down to the teachings that people recite in their hearts over and over again, for the book of Exodus, if there is no parting of the Red Sea, what would all this be like?
The "Prince of Egypt" a long time ago popularized "Exodus" to more audiences, but this time the movie named Exodus seems to be more like a default that the audience in front of the screen is well-versed. Those who are familiar with many details of Exodus, so the old words are omitted here, and the lines here try to tell something different than the story of Exodus.
There are no more words of God's admonition or instruction to Moses here, the emphasis here is on the original brotherhood of Moses and Pharaoh, the transformation of Moses from a prince to a messiah of God. In the film, more shots are given to the people of God on the earth as human beings, and the remaining shots are to use contemporary CG special effects to show God's incomparable power as the Almighty Lord and what he needs his people to know. to the determination of his existence.
There is a very big bright spot in the film, which is also unique to the live-action film, that is, when the eldest son of all Egyptian residents was killed, the voices of the whole city wailed, and the heart-piercing pain of every family over the loss of the eldest son. If the "Prince of Egypt" can also well express the divine power of God, then this one
The second highlight of the film, or the disappointment, is that the climax of Moses' separation of the Red Sea is not described as a climax, but the chasing soldiers of Pharaoh and the dialogue between Moses and God between the carved stone tablets. The end of the entire film. The Red Sea here is still turbulent, but it is not simply to set off how difficult it will be for the Israelis to cross the Red Sea. The Red Sea here is the backdrop for a fight, to set off such a pair of brothers who were born and died. One of them exiled the other, and the one as a messenger of God brought rest to the other's country; one of them was a Pharaoh, the other a Messiah; one's son died at the hand of God, and the other was saved by admonishing the whole city of Israel sons of Israel.
This war has raised more expectations in the face of the huge waves of the Red Sea, but these expectations for the Red Sea have not been met, and the reason is very simple. This may be the deep meaning of the title. The interpretation of "Exodus" is not complete here. There are God's spokespersons as prophets and Pharaohs as emperors, but there is a lack of Israelites who walked into the wilderness. So in the end, This incomplete "Exodus" may be completed in the sequel if it exists in the future.
