It is clear that the basic plot remains consistent with the Bible. The big differences are as follows.
First of all, a lot of personalized content has been added, such as the brotherhood between Moses and the king of Egypt. The king did not want Moses to die. After all, they grew up together, and Moses also saved himself on the battlefield. Life. There is also the king's love for his son (he will get up in the middle of the night to see the child, and then say to him: You slept really well, you know someone loves you), of course, this also paved the way for the loss of his son due to the ten disasters later. And Moses, he would question God's behavior, and even when he finally engraved the commandments on the mountain, he had to accept God's rules himself. And Moses' relationship with his wife and son. Of course, because of this, I think it is more reasonable. Because of the king's love for his son, he is even more angry. Because he was forced by natural disasters, he finally decided to chase and kill him wildly.
The second is to humanize God, even as a child. And through the dialogue between Moses and God, it explains why the Jews accepted 400 years of slavery by the Egyptians. That is, God was always angry, and then when the time came, he couldn't hold back any longer. Even after he chose Moses, he was not satisfied with Moses' military guerrilla method, and finally adopted the method of natural disasters. Of course, humanizing the gods is what humans are good at, as in Greek mythology. However, if it is interpreted in this way, it is as effective as the previous Egyptian wizard prophecy, and it can "awaken" different gods to do different things later. We can naturally understand that: God and the gods of Egypt coexist, and they are only because they are worshipped and sheltered. Different groups of people have different interests. If the Jews were enslaved by the Egyptians, it was because they "questioned" and "rebelled" God before, so they were punished for 400 years. Now the 400-year period has come, and even the Jews have repented and repented, then It makes more sense.
The last is the understanding of God's commandments, in the film when crossing the sea, after fleeing the pursuit of the Egyptian army. Moses calmly told the people around him that when everyone is fleeing, everyone will obey, but when everyone is stationed, they will naturally be out of control. So the need for laws can also help us understand why those laws are more like primitive laws. And those sacrificial ceremonies are naturally a way to unite everyone, promote the perpetuation of beliefs, and form religions. 17.2.10
