Feeling a little confused

Who is the protagonist of this film? Who is the villain? It's over, now the yin and yang of life are reversed, getting up at noon during the day and going to bed at 4 or 5 in the morning. I was trying to get this done last night. So I went to bed at 10 o'clock to watch the movie, "Top Gun", the old movie made Tom Cruise look like a child, and the effect of flying is very cool even today. Of course, what impressed me the most was the background music played when the male and female protagonists were having sex. It was so appropriate and top-notch. I went to bed after 12 o'clock, but who knew that it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning (don't know about Jingjing girl...). After tumbling to 2:30, I finally decided that my life should not be wasted on tossing and turning, get up and watch a movie. I found a random one that was stored in the hard drive - the prince of Egypt. Animation, known as the first generation of painting style. The content is also basically consistent with the "Exodus", which can be regarded as faithful to the "original" (Old Testament of the Bible ^_^). Of course, the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh's brothers has also been added to enhance the dramatic effect. This kind of film should be more in line with the tastes of Westerners or Christians, but for me it is not attractive. In my opinion, this is how monotheism defeated polytheism and came to dominance. Egypt is an out-and-out polytheistic country. The gods in it are as numerous as the stars in the sky, and most of them are strange-looking, a combination of humans and animals. Of course, this is the same everywhere in the world. It seems that if a god looks too human, it will insult his divinity. See, Jehovah has always been just a light. In contrast, the Greeks are more open-minded, and the Chinese are especially open-minded, and they directly and easily moved the imperial system to the sky. The Hebrews also had polytheistic beliefs at that time. Moses was angry and shattered the stone tablets with the law engraved on them because he saw that the people were worshiping the golden bull. One of the ten commandments is "You shall not believe in any other gods but Yahweh". Therefore, after this exodus from Egypt, Jehovah established the status of his supreme god. After all, according to the old testament, when God brought down the ten great calamities, none of the Egyptian gods let them go, so they honestly and obediently let their people be ravaged by their enemies. This boss is a failure. In the future, who will listen to you? However, this myth is a Christian myth. No matter how you cheat, you are cheating within your own system. It has nothing to do with the Egyptian mythology, so the Egyptians continue to believe in their gods. It's always been quite strange. God always wants people to "believe" in him. Why is such a powerful God taking the belief of an ant-like person so seriously? It stands to reason that whether human beings live or die does not affect God's eating, drinking and sleeping at all. Look at the boss of Zeus, eat, drink and have fun, nothing to bubble mortal beauties, never seen He pressed the head of the common people and said: You have to believe me, or I will beat you up if you don't. Is it true that, as stated in Blasphemy, the beliefs of mortals can increase the mighty power of gods, and the goal of the supreme god is to break through the limitations of the gods and enter a higher level? According to this argument, mortals are pigs and dogs raised by gods to feed their stomachs. Presumably Christians will not like this explanation. Another strange place is that the Bible says that all people are the children of Adam, and Adam was created by God, so the Egyptians should

    [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]

    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...
