Hard to say

After reading it, is the story of the Ten Commandments really like this? I don't know, I don't dare to speculate about God's inner world. This movie made me feel that the cost of salvation is too great, it’s hard to say it’s worth it. The Hebrews need to be liberated. That’s right, but the Egyptians and the pharaoh’s eldest sons provoked someone, for something unknown to them. Was killed in a gambling game. Are the refugees and soldiers who died in the entire process of fighting innocent? The Pharaoh was ignorant and moral, and the whole country suffered, and the people of Lebanon suffered. How do I feel that this is not good. Does God really act like this? Come on, there has never been a savior. What's next? Hard to say!

    Just like learning western culture. God is the hope of the despairing. The story is fairly simple, and after reading it, I can understand why their theology can take root. The desert that Lawrence of Arabia traversed was the desert that Moses traversed. Five stars for the first half and two stars for the second half of the horrific activities.

    It turned out to be such an old movie, the lines are so good, the actor's face is so good, the acting is even more gorgeous, the plot is so bloody, I like it

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.
