The Ten Commandments, cecil.b.demille, 1956, Their Moses, their Red Sea.

"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and you shall have no other gods before me."


"You shall not make idols for yourself, nor make any image like heaven, Go down to the ground, and all things that are under the ground and in the water. Do not bow down to the images, and do not serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God. I will punish him who hates me, from the Father and his Sons, to three and four generations; and to those who love me and keep my commandments, I will show mercy to a thousand generations."


"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not take the name of the LORD in vain for him who takes his name in vain. sin."


"Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days are to labor and do your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On this day you and your children, your servants, and your livestock. and the stranger who is in your city, you shall not do any work; for in six days the LORD made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath, A holy day."


"Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you."


"You shall not murder."


"You shall not commit adultery."


"You shall not steal."


"You shall not bear false witness against you. man."


"You shall not covet a man's house; neither shall he covet his wife, his servants, his ox or his donkey, or all that he has."





Abstain from my idols, and
when Moses appears, I will not follow him.
To stop my greed,
when suffering occurs, I will not run away.

But the Ten Commandments can't stop my mistakes.


No suffering, no hardship
, no desire
, no success, no success, no luck, no
birthday, no perfection, no perfection

, nothing, nothing is inferior to my ignorance.

Buddha crosses everything but not me.

    An epic that expresses those simple and clear truths in a simple way, but the truth is extremely profound. Maybe watch the fun, maybe you will spend a lot of time thinking.

    Looking at the 2010 digitally restored stained version, the visuals are orders of magnitude better than the 1956 original. The four-hour film is comparable to the grand scene of "Cleopatra", the costumes and scenery are extremely gorgeous, and it is an epic masterpiece. But I have always disliked Christianity. Seeing that the film still follows the Old Testament of the Bible to promote the overlord clause and smear Egypt and Ramses, I really cannot agree with the director's religious complex and values.

The Ten Commandments quotes

  • Sephora: Which of my sisters did you choose?

    Moses: I made no choice, Sephora.

    Sephora: She was very beautiful, wasn't she? This woman of Egypt, who left her scar upon your heart. Her skin was white as curd, her eyes green as the cedars of Lebanon, her lips, tamarisk honey. Like the breast of a dove, her arms were soft... and the wine of desire was in her veins.

    Moses: Yes. She was beautiful... as a jewel.

    Sephora: A jewel has brilliant fire, but it gives no warmth. Our hands are not so soft, but they can serve. Our bodies not so white, but they are strong. Our lips are not perfumed, but they speak the truth. Love is not an art to us. It's life to us. We are not dressed in gold and fine linen. Strength and honor are our clothing. Our tents are not the columned halls of Egypt, but our children play happily before them. We can offer you little... but we offer all we have.

    Moses: I have not little, Sephora. I have nothing.

    Sephora: Nothing from some... is more than gold from others.

    Moses: You would fill the emptiness of my heart?

    Sephora: I could never fill all of it, Moses, but I shall not be jealous of a memory.

  • Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, young and old, this may seem an unusual procedure, speaking to you before the picture begins, but we have an unusual subject - the story of the birth of freedom - the story of Moses. As many of you know, the Holy Bible omits some 30 years of Moses' life... From the time, when he was a three-month old baby, and was found in the bulrushes, by Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh and adopted into the court of Egypt, until he learned that he was Hebrew and killed the Egyptian. To fill in those missing years, we turn to ancient historians, such as Philo and Josephus. Philo wrote at the time when Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth and Josephus wrote some 50 years later, and watched the destruction of Jerusalem, by the Romans. These historians had access to documents long since destroyed - or perhaps lost, like the Dead Sea Scrolls. The theme of this picture is whether men ought to be ruled by God's law, or whether they are to be ruled by the whims of a dictator, like Rameses. Are men the property of the state or are they free souls under God? This same battle continues throughout the world today. Our intention was not to create a story, but to be worthy of a divinely inspired story, created 3,000 years ago, the five books of Moses. The story takes three hours and 39 minutes to unfold. There will be an intermission. Thank you for your attention.
