The Ten Commandments on the script

2021-12-30 17:21
The name of any pharaoh is never mentioned in the Bible. However, the film sets Ramses II as the pharaoh that Moses must flee. The evidence supporting this statement is the statement in Exodus that the Hebrews built the city of Ramses and named it after the pharaoh. Some experts believe that the pharaoh in "Exodus" is Thutmose III, about one or two centuries earlier than Ramses II   .
The final filming script was written by Aeneas MacKenzie, Jesse L. Lasky Jr., Jack Gariss and Fredric M. Frank. Part of the script also includes materials from books such as Dorothy Clarke Wilson's, Joseph Holt Ingraham'sand Arthur Eustace Southon's. The film’s researcher Henry Noerdlinger also consulted ancient historical documents such as, Philo'sand the works of Josephus and Eusebius to fill in missing years in Moses's life   .

    Old blockbuster religious themes I'm surprised that there are "special effects" in the films of the 50s, hehe. The acting is not bad, the scene is grand, and I believe the investment is huge. I just think of it as a Bible story, but I can see from this movie the consistent characteristics of Hollywood (this is not unusual) and the "teenage school" feel of the Bible story itself. ps: How does the pharaoh look like Lau Ka Fai? ^_^

    Great momentum, all in one go. But the Israelites were really not worth saving. They performed a dozen great miracles and easily worshipped the Egyptian god who had bound them for 400 years... It seems that God did not care about them for 400 years for no reason at all. However, compared with the Bible, the changes are a bit big, especially the process of crossing the wilderness is very simple.

The Ten Commandments quotes

  • Sethi: The man best able to rule Egypt will follow me. I owe that to my fathers, not to my sons.

  • Moses: [to Sethi, after Sethi came to see Moses completing the city to be built] Pharoah is pleased?

    Sethi: With the obelisk, yes. But not with certain accusations made against you.

    Moses: By whom?

    Sethi: You raided the temple granaries?

    Moses: Yes.

    [Rameses puts first weight on scale. The other scale dish holds a heavier weight, which keeps that dish on the table]

    Sethi: You gave the grain to the slaves?

    Moses: Yes.

    [Rameses puts second weight on scale, which causes opposite scale dish to bounce, but it still rests on the table]

    Rameses: You gave them one day in seven to rest.

    Moses: Yes.

    [Rameses puts third weight on scale. It's now heavier than its opposite dish, which is yanked up off the table]

    Sethi: Did you do all this to gain their favor?

    Moses: [Moses puts a brick on the dish that was yanked off the table. It's now heavier than Rameses' weights and crashes to the table with a bang! Moses has defeated his accusers] A city is built of brick, Pharoah. The strong make many, the starving make few. The dead make none. So much for accusations.
