Review on The Prince of Egypt
On Friday, November 26, 1999, I sat down and viewed the entire movie "The Prince of Egypt". This movie was about Moses and some of his life journeys. In this movie you see Moses's transition from living as the Prince of Egypt to being God's deliverer and going against the Pharaoh to free the Hebrew's out of Egypt's slavery. This movie was excellent in the way it portrayed Moses's journeys and helped the viewer get a better understanding of all of the emotions that were taking place at this time. In the beginning of the story Moses was a newborn baby of a Hebrew family. At the time the Pharaoh had ordered that any son born into a Hebrew family must be thrown in the river as a means of execution. Moses's family tries to save him by placing him in a basket and sending him floating down the river, praying to God for his safety. His sister follows the basket floating down the river and sees that it floats up to the palace of Egypt where the Pharaoh's wife finds him and decides to keep him as her own son. Moses's sister sees that he has reached safety and prays that one day they will be reunited. During the next scene Moses is playing with his brother, Rameses, riding all over the kingdom
They all panicked because there was nowhere to run from the Egyptian troops, but then Moses held his stick in the sea and parted the sea making walls of water. This scene depicts Moses's closeness with Rameses and the love he has for his brother. If the doorway was marked with blood, the spirit would turn away and continue on to the next house until he had been in every Egyptian's house in the town. The last plague was the Plague of the Firstborn and in this plague God warned Moses to have all of the Hebrews mark the top and side of their door with lamb's blood. When they arrive they began to settle down to rest there, but then the Pharaoh's troops led by Rameses came over the hill in their horses and chariots to kill the Hebrews. At this point Moses travels to the Pharaoh's home to ask for his people to be set free. He begins to feel sympathetic for the enslaved Hebrews, and ends up killing a guard for needless whipping of an old Hebrew man. Rameses then took Moses into a private chamber and relayed to him that he has ancient traditions to uphold, and that he is not willing to do this. When Rameses questioned the God from whom which Moses was sent, Moses held up his staff, which swiftly turned into a cobra and fell to the floor hissing. Moses knows that the Pharaoh usually puts dishonor on Rameses when he is troublesome, so Moses takes the blame to protect his brother from the shame. Moses is doubtful that he can handle this task, but God commands him and tells him that he is the chosen deliverer. The last place he traveled was into the Pharaoh's palace where he took the life of the Pharaoh's firstborn son. Moses is skeptical about people believing his word, so he is given a staff, which will serve as a sign for those who do not believeMoses then travels back to Egypt to deliver the Hebrews out of Egypt.
