I have never really been convinced by a certain religion, but I have to admit that religious piety can indeed create breathtaking works.
For an animation, the handwriting is magnificent and well-made is incredible. I believe that no one is willing to make such a cost just for business purposes. Just like seeing temples and Buddha statues in Southeast Asia, even if you just go there with the purpose of admiring artworks, you can still see the piety and be moved by this piety.
But as a religious propaganda film, the propaganda of ideology in the latter half is frightening-it is impossible to agree with the value of "Terrorism for the sake of faith is justice".
5 stars in the first hour, no doubt, very great work; more than half an hour after the start of ideological preaching, 2 stars.
Combine 3-4 stars. Indeed, without religious devotion, such a work cannot be produced; religious devotion has also pulled down this work.

    It is the best animation in Dream Works~ The use of ancient Egyptian murals to tell the plot, the plot is smooth, the characters are well created, the personality and brotherhood of Ramses and Moses are profound and moving, the music is great, and the Egyptians ruthlessly labored Hebrews. , coupled with the tragic song Deliver Us, it is very shocking that the plague shows the hostility and determination of the two

    Presenting the biblical Exodus story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt has been done well enough within a limited scope. Although there is a way out of the details of the original biblical story, this is a presentation of artistic re-creation.

The Prince of Egypt quotes

  • Jethro: [singing] A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shine, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design. And the stone that sits on the very top of the mountain's mighty face, does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base? So how can you see what your life is worth, or where your value lies? You can never see through the eyes of man... You must look at your life, look at your life through Heaven's eyes!

  • Yocheved: [singing, while wrapping a blanket around her baby and hiding it in her arms] Yal-di ha-tor veh he ha-rach...

    [My good and tender son]

    Yocheved: Al ti-ra, veh al tif-chad.

    [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]

    Chorus: Deliver us, hear our prayer, deliver us from despair, these years of slavery grow too cruel to stand! Deliver us, there's a land you promised us, deliver us out of bondage and deliver us to the promised land...

    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...
