This movie does not need spoilers. Those who have read the Bible generally know the plot. In summary, it is somewhat similar to the type of "The Founding of a Country". Because there is a long story to tell, some fragments of the two-and-a-half-hour movie are also like slideshows. Especially the marriage process after editing, it seems that the previous picture is peeking at the back, and the next one will be the wedding.

But it's still much better than "Jian" (it's nonsense). Whether you want to watch the story or watch the special effects, you will be satisfied accordingly (except for those with intensive phobias).

I read the Bible in college, but I don't remember all the details. Especially the images of Egyptians and Heberians are too far away, it is difficult for Moses to be portrayed in my mind, and the memory cannot be rooted.

Let me talk about trust first. I just saw the screenshots in the latest Korean drama "Pinocchio". The female lead said to the male lead, I don’t want you to explain, and I won’t ask you for details, because I trust you more than him.
More difficult than love is trust.
In the era when there was no lie detector, everyone relied on their keen insight to judge whether the flickering of the other's eyes was a truth or a lie. crack shot. If Ramses chose to believe in Moses unconditionally, would the result be different? I hope it will, D but not, because everything is doomed.

The story begins with a prophecy that made Ramses panic. Moses' life experience, Moses was exiled, Moses was enlightened, all things are destined, no one can escape. But God finally couldn't bear it after watching his people enslaved for 400 years, and even the ten years estimated by Moses could not wait any longer. It evoked the slaughter of giant crocodiles and dyed all water sources; frogs were in pairs in series; flies bite all bare skin; livestock died one after another; hail smashed everything like a stone; locusts ate the last tragic image. But God felt that it was not enough. He wanted to: Let them kneel on the ground and beg him for mercy.

Whether it’s when I read the Bible or when I see a movie now, it’s too difficult for me to understand God’s thoughts. Since the final result was to make the emperor compromise through the hand of God, and also the power of God to destroy the Egyptian army, why bother the people to suffer together? They have been like this for four hundred years. But even so, everyone believes in God until today.

I have been thinking about this question when I came back from watching the movie in the evening. Even complained: Never complain to God that you are miserable, otherwise he will only make you worse, perhaps plausibly forcing you to change.
Later I thought, I am afraid that God will never help the weak to directly become stronger. What he will do, and what he will do, is just screening, like the theory of evolution, screening self-helpers.
"God loves self-savers."

Back to the movie.
Every character in it has great acting skills, except for God.
My child who plays the role of God should find an actor similar to the orphan in "Orphans". The physical appearance of children also reveals a maturity that does not match their age. In this film, the little actor is still too immature.
In the end, Ramses was killed without a decisive battle with Moses, which made people a little confused about the director's intentions.
I think it is much better than "Interstellar" (I still love Nolan, but Interstellar is really average). Don't argue if you don't accept it. It is useless to persuade each other.



At the end, I have to say that I can’t wait to see it for the sake of a small fan, even if I know he doesn’t have many shots.
