There are also two changes in the salvation of the nation. The first is to give freedom to the people. It begins with the previous miracle, and is completed after the Red Sea is split and it falls to Mount Sinai. But the Hebrews, who had no kingship, forgot the God they believed in in the past. It seems that God only saves the soul in times of pain. People indulge, revel, and worship idols. After that, Moses’ second salvation was given, and the Ten Commandments were passed on to people. method to re-establish the status of faith.
The film shows the Hebrews bowing their heads to the appearance of miracles, but vulnerable to the temptation of profit and indulgence. This is different from Disney's "Prince of Egypt", etc. It should be said that it reproduces the records in the Bible. The conflict between divinity and human nature has not been resolved for thousands of years. Even if there is no belief, it is not difficult to see people's entanglement in it: Buddha nature and demon nature, beasts and sages, biological nature and animal nature, there are many similar concepts. Humans seem to be a species favored by gods. In the trillions of years in the history of the earth, no species has such great powers. Powerful powers bring about not mutual love or harmonious coexistence with other species, but self-confidence. Cannibalism and slaughter of other creatures. All things have their own laws, and people can live endlessly by following them. The Ten Commandments are the laws created by God, but they are also the simplest natural laws.
After modern Darwin, the concept of rationality created an unprecedented crisis in the field of belief. It is difficult for people in an atheist country to understand how those who believe in God are convinced of the paradise or karma they have never seen before, how to reach a mutual understanding between science and religion, and how to make peace with each other. In fact, one of the reasons for this contradiction lies in the variation of religion in people's hearts. If religion is not separated from religion, religion cannot be pure, and belief is inevitably turbid. In modern times this phenomenon is dimming. The conflict between religion and science can never be bridged, and it doesn't need to be bridged, the theists can't leave the material convenience that science brings, and the atheists don't need to try to change the theists, in the latter's opinion, whether you believe it or not, He is there . What's more, aren't science and democracy also religions? India's "Oudi Shenna" is relatively sharp in the presentation of this theme. Some questions are black or white to diehards, but unanswerable to most.
Going back to the film, the film has put a lot of effort into education, but after all, it is not "The Spring in the Desert" or a hymn, and the "story" told is also very beautiful and has a basis, so that the length of nearly four hours does not seem protracted. Compared with the purely fictional works with tolerance as the theme like "Ben-Hur", works like "Lawrence of Arabia" which only takes faith as one of the themes are inevitably too straightforward. The sphinx, obelisk, and temple palace in the film are very skillful. The backwardness of technology makes some special effects look like watching the old version of Journey to the West. Today's people are a little difficult to substitute, but at that time. The shock to people is also conceivable.
