Do whatever you want, no right or wrong

Three points after watching:

1. No one knows what their destiny is, so just do what you want to do, anyway, you won't know whether it's right or wrong.

2. Stick to what you want to do, and someone will hate you.

3. Even if someone loves you, it doesn't mean you're doing everything right.

Some people say that Ramses' final call represents love for Moses rather than hatred, and the individual expresses his fullest contempt for this shameless frame and justification.

All Egyptian children in the city died because of you. The army that chased the Red Sea died because of you. The good life of Ramses died because of you. You don't stop because you want to do it. You deserve the love of the Hebrews.

But no matter how many people love you, people die because of you. You should suffer for it all your life, otherwise you are an immoral beast.

This is the price of wanting to do something according to your own heart.

    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.

River, deliver him there...
