This is the richest, most moving, and philosophical story I've ever seen, both in text and film.
1. The journey from enslaved Egypt to the good land of Canaan is an epic human journey.
2. In this journey, the disagreement between Moses and the overseer is a cultural divide between the East and the West, and the overseer being allowed to embark on their journey also symbolizes the tolerance of dissidents in a civilization.
3. Moses and Pharaoh. Moses' exile is another typical Oedipus complex story.
4. The relationship between the Hebrews and the Pharaoh is another expression of seeking a solution to this ancient Oedipus complex. Perhaps, this is the first time in human history to be recorded. The Pharaoh, who symbolized his father, gave up on the symbolism. The Hebrew enslavement of the son's power, the father's relinquishment of his power to let his children seek new ideals, remains an important theme in today's culture.
