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!

    A historical mythology film, I happened to be watching "Bible Stories" recently, adapted from the Old Testament book of Exodus. A lot of supplements were made to Moses' life experience and emotional line before he became a prophet, so that Moses became a character with both humanity and divinity coexisting. The spectacular scenes may have been limited by the technology of the time, and some scenes were presented by oral means.

    ★★★★ The oracle is indescribable. When the Red Sea is split, the scene is as spectacular as the voice of the gods. Just don't know how much of the adaptation is real?

The Ten Commandments quotes

  • Dathan: For ten talents of gold, I'll give you the wealth of Egypt! Give me my freedom and I'll give you the scepter! Give me the water girl, Lillia, and I'll give you the princess of your heart's desire. Give me this house of Baka's and I'll give you the throne! Give me all that I ask... or give me leave to go.

  • Dathan: Joshua's strength didn't kill the master builder.

    Rameses: Now speaks the rat that would be my ears.

    Dathan: Too many ears tie a rat's tongue.

    Rameses: [to the Egyptian soldiers] Go, all of you!

    [turns to Dathan]

    Rameses: Well... who killed him?

    Dathan: I am a poor man, Generous One; what I bring is worth much.

    Rameses: I have paid you much, and you have brought me nothing.

    Dathan: Now I bring you the world... true Son of Pharaoh.

    Rameses: You offer me the world when you cannot even bring me the deliverer. Who killed Baka?

    Dathan: The deliverer.

    Rameses: Would you play at words with me?

    Dathan: No, Lord Prince.

    Rameses: And this murderer has now fled to some distant land?

    Dathan: No, Lord Prince.

    Rameses: Name him.

    Dathan: One who made himself a prince and judge over us; and if he knew I were here, he would kill me as he killed the Egyptian.

    Rameses: I will hang you myself if you tire me further.

    Dathan: There are those who would pay much for what my eyes have seen.

    Rameses: Do you haggle with me like a seller of melons in the marketplace?

    Dathan: No, I will not haggle, Great Prince; here's your money. But for ten talents of fine gold, I'll give you the wealth of Egypt. Give me my freedom, and I'll give you the scepter. Give me the water girl Lilia, and I'll give you the princess of your heart's desire. Give me this house of Baka, and I'll give you the throne. Give me all that I ask... or give me leave to go.

    Rameses: I will give you more than leave to go; I will send you where you belong.

    Dathan: I belong in your service, Glorious One.

    Rameses: Very well, I will bargain with you. If what you say pleases me, I will give you your price, all of it; if not, I will give you the point of this blade through your lying throat, agreed?

    Dathan: Agreed; the deliverer... is Moses.

    Rameses: Draw one more breath to tell me why Moses or any other Egyptian would deliver the Hebrews?

    Dathan: Moses is not Egyptian; he's Hebrew, the son of slaves.
