This movie wasn't good Boy, what a waste of time.

The 1956 version with Charlton Heston is much, much better

It will be on this Sat. night. (Eve of Easter)

I saw this movie - actually, i found it very interesting ........ quite a bit of information to think about that was NOT included in the Charleston Heston version.

hi - sorry it took so long to get back here - i forgot where this topic was:

well - here is a list i mentioned on another group as far as this movie is concerned:

"There were quite a few details that I felt made this ancient story
much more probable than the "old" romanticized version starring
Charleston Heston and Yuhl Brennan. For instance, the implication
that the first ten commandments was created by "God" and then
destroyed by Moses since the people broke their bond but then Moses
returned to the mountain and made the tablets again, with his own
hand. There was also a part in the movie where Moses, as a youth,
questions who created the many gods that Egyptians worshipped.
There was also a war with the Malachites after crossing the Red Sea,
there was also inferrence of the slaughter of many of the Jews who
did not want to bond with the "God", Moses received instruction
from, because it was "too hard". The movie touched on the "I Am Who
I Am" riddle. Moses didn't even address God as his own but the God
of the Jewish people or their God. His conversations with his
father-in-law were VERY interesting. There was also an inference
that once the Jews would finally reach the promised land, that God
would not be there with them, and so much more. The implication
that Moses sacraficing himself to God would prevent God from
completely turning his back on – as God (on the movie) addresses
them as – "your people". Moses turning away from his wife and sons –
his son's threat. There was also a part in the movie where a man
was stoned for murder along with his lover. "

Dear Amisha,

I assume those ?????? are for me. Sorry, I didn't have much time to come to LL for awhile because I was SO busy with school, but I just finished this week.

Yeah, I totally agree with everything you said, the movie told a very different version with different aspects. I was really surprised they emphasized the I AM as much as they did.

I guess I am just used to the "romanticized" version, like you said. I also think the Charlton Heston version was more religious.
