The thing is, the Book of Exodus IS very epic. It is very amazing. So, they did a good choice in adapting the book of Exodus. Exodus is after all, one of the most IMPORTANT Books of the Bible because of how God rescued the whole Israel. Because the books after that shows how disappointing the ppl after. Makes you think about the ppl, "When will it ever be enough for You?" You'll have to read the Bible for u to understand what i'm talking about ;)

What I love about this movie is the complicated sibling dichotomy we have here. Here we see a pained younger brother who only ever wanted to make his brother happy, but instead sees himself bringing pain to innocents, hurting a person he loved, and destroying his home. But on the flip side, we see a jaded older sibling that does not understand this larger picture, and thinks that the younger sibling trying to show power and prove superiority. And in the midst, two nations are in the cross fire. This movie was a cinematic masterpiece on all accounts, whether or not you choose to be religious or not.

It also reflects how, in the Exodus actual, it was during the Plague of Boils that the magi stopped appearing in the book (as being rendered 'unclean' meant they couldn't perform rituals or even appear before Pharaoh anymore) - indeed, in the film, you can see that Rameses sends them away right as they're desperately trying to either rub the boils off or mask them with some ointments. It's at this moment where their lies of 'replicating' the plagues stop working altogether.

I'll add to this a C.S Lewis quote: "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story."

A little digging into Egyptian beliefs brings out a new level to this. God isn't just using generic plagues to attack the Egyptians. He is mocking the Egyptian gods in the process, who tended to be patterned after animals, as well as the concept of Pharaoh being a god himself since this entire time he is powerless. Essentially, he is breaking the Egyptians by saying "See how your gods tremble before me?" in addition to suffering. And their gods don't just tremble; they flee. He has full authority and power, and the various Egyptian gods can't do a damn thing to stop Him. Here's a brief breakdown of how every single plauge hit Egyptian beliefs and their very way of life: the staff-to-cobra transformation caused such a panic because it's a symbol of two goddesses: Meretseger, the guardian of the royal tombs, and, most importantly, Wadjet, the symbol of the royal power of life and death (hence why the pharaohs and a few other members of the royal family wore a stylised cobra on their heads; and note, this comes immediately after Ramses pardons Moses of murder, which is punishable by death). That's also why Hotep and Huy could pull it: they are the court mages, playing with cobras is part of their job; the First Plague, transforming the Nile in a river of blood, is a mockery of a good omen: the Nile would become red once per year, filled with the fertile silt that the incoming flood would deposit on the earth. And yet, this time not only the red waters appeared at the wrong time of the year and brought no silt, but they also caused the death of all the fish of Egypt. And come to think of it, silt is probably how Hotep and Huy 'replicated' the trick on a smaller scale'; This mocked Sobek, the god who protected against the dangers of the Nile, and Tefnut, Goddess of water the Second Plague, the frogs overrunning Egypt, continues the mockery of a good omen: the frog is a symbol of fertility and the gods Heket, and Hapy, a personification of the flooding of the Nile and its fertile silt, and smaller 'invasions' of frogs would come right after the flooding; the Third and Fourth Plagues, the mosquitoes and the fleas, are a direct consequence of the end of the Second: there were no frogs to eat them anymore. What's worse, the Egyptians were used to dealing with them, but this time there were too many; the Fifth Plague, the disease of the livestock, hits a soft point of the Egyptian believes: the cult of Apis, intermediary between men and gods, with a living incarnation as a bull (the Egyptians also built graves for these bulls). Because now Moses is the intermediary, Apis dies, and no other bull with the proper markings shall be found; the Sixth Plague, the boils, hits particularly hard: boils and other illnesses fall under the dominion of Thoth, the God of Science and Knowledge, Medicine and, what's worse, the Arbitrator of the Gods, who would bring justice and properly administer the law. Between the epidemics and the priests having no knowledge on how to cure this, this one is a warning that Egypt has brought itself outside of the law of Maat, its greatest moral value; the Seventh Plague, the storm of fire, is personal for the Pharaoh and the royal family: storms are the dominion of Seth. In this time not only Seth is not yet demonized (that would happen only from the Twenty-First dinasty, and the names of the Pharaohs indicate the Nineteenth), but it's one of the most important gods, with Rameses's own father being named after him and the current capital of Pi-Ramses (cited by name in the Bible as the starting point of the Exodus) is a center of Seth's worship. Ouch...; the Eight Plague, the locusts, is pure nightmare: while in small numbers they were considered symbols of luck alongside grasshoppers, in large numbers they were rightly feared, and by being brought by the wind this plague entered the dominion of one of the most important gods, Amon; the Ninth Plague the Darkness, is again personal with the Pharaoh and his family: not only the authority of the Pharaoh is associated with the Sun God Ra and the Sky God Horus, but the reigning Pharaoh is Rameses, meaning "Born from Ra". A message of paternal and divine rejection?; Also, at the end of this number, the darkness starts and spreads from a crumbling statue of Ra. the Tenth Plague is linked to a specific Egyptian myth, the Eye of Ra. In that myth, the men had disrespected Ra and planned to rebel and kill him, so he sent his Eye (identified with either the war goddess Sekhmet or the gentle Hathor, Depending on the version) to punish them with a slaughter... And in one day she killed half of mankind, all the guilty and many innocents, and to stop her finishing the job the gods had to get her drunk. The message here is: "Let My people go, for if you continue to sin all of Egypt shall die in an heartbat". No wonder Rameses finally relented...

Nope. The Christians hung onto the Bible and didn't alter it from its original state. In fact, it was the Jews who then removed books from their Bible. Hence why we get Hannukah, but barely hear a peep about Judas Maccabees' story, which isn't in the Jewish Bile at all, but it is in the Catholic Bible. Funny how the only people who have the Hannukah story in the Bible are the Catholics. And much of Catholicism is derived from Jewish forms of Worship, since Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and Second Person of the Holy Trinity of the most High God, who is the God of the Hebrews. Look up "Jewish Roots of Catholicism." It shows how Catholicism is consistent with the Old Testament and shows how the New fulfills the Promises of the Old.

Because films are supposed to be art, not fucking cash grabs like so many are today. Film makers often put little thought or effort into movies these days. Just look at The Force Awakens. Back in the day, film makers actually cared about what they were creating and really tried to make genuinely good films. These days, those kinds of film makers, such as poor George Lucas, often get shunned, insulted and ridiculed. I think the most recent movies I've seen that I consider art are Frozen, which was from three years ago (I thought it marked the beginning of a new Disney Renaissance but sadly I was wrong), and possibly Me Before You, although that film has an advantage over most others because it had my favourite actress in it.

Why can't modern movie be like this? I feel like most of the more recent "children's movies" are too silly and light-hearted, filled with cheap humor and cheerful music. As much as I think Frozen is a completely alright movie, I wish people weren't so afraid of making a little bit more dark and heavy stuff again. This is beautiful!

This is one of my favorite songs in the whole thing. Aside from Deliver Us. The one line that hit me the most was said by Moses: “This was my home! All this pain and devastation, how it tortures me inside. All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride.” In 10 commandments, Moses from a character standpoint is inhuman. Sure, he’s powerful through the hand of God, but he’s not human. 10 commandments is the greatest biblical epic of all time, but The Prince of Egypt humanizes Moses. After all, Moses grew up in Egypt. So seeing the destruction of your own home, place you had so many memories about would be devastating to him. Probably one of the greatest creative choices made by any storyteller that stayed true to the source material.

Aye, one of the main reasons you can't really call Judeo-Christian scripture mythology is because a lot of the characters don't have any character, they can't, because to give them character would change what they are. Obviously the god of the bible can't have character because he's just there to be the source of morality and of creation. He can't have a preference for what kind of a person he likes because then that would fuck over everyone else who isn't like that.

This is also better because Moses and Ramsey were brothers, they loved each other, not like in ten commandments where they had genuine hatred. It makes it so much more tragic qnd powerful for Moses to actually have to oppose someone he loves. He even says he wish God chose another to do this task.

What I love is that right after all this, before the final plague (Death of the Firstborn), Moses goes to Rameses and pleads with him to stop, saying something worse than any of the previous plagues is coming and to think of his son. Rameses then tells Moses that he will stop the Israelites the same way his father did, and that there would be a great cry in Egypt like there never was or would be again (foreshadowing). When he says this, Moses realizes that the wall they are next to is the one decorated with the slaughter of the Israelite children (which he'd escaped), and that where the children being tossed into the Nile were carved, directly below the crocodiles' jaws, was Ramses's son. Horrified and defeated, Moses tells Rameses he brings this on himself and leaves. Hands down my favorite scene in the movie

It is especially heavy when you consider that in Exodus 8:32 God affected Rameses' free will by purposefully hardening his heart further than it already had. And he likely did this because he is an arrogant God who wanted everyone to know he was more powerful than their gods. Which is why he brought the darkness plague as a big "fuck you" to Ra. It could have ended sooner, but it appears Yahweh wanted to send a clear message.

It was more than that though, had God made the pharaoh yield so easily, he would have never got the credit, and the Israelites would end up believing this was their victory, NOT God’s. And so with the 10 plagues, He not only shows that there is no god/demon who is even on his level to begin with, but to ensure the Israelites give the victory to Him. Because He is their God, a jealous one at that and why wouldn’t he, we as humans were created in God’s perfect image. And so the Israelites would remember that it was God and only God who helped them leave Egypt.

my favorite part is at the end (2:11) when rameses and moses are going back to back with their vocals, the choir - meant to represent the voice of God - is going along with Moses's "let my people go" giving more weight to his tone and volume over rameses just like when he was saying the "thus saith the Lord" quote

This was my favorite movie as a kid. Even at a young age I saw Ramsey as a tragic character. His crime was being born and raised into a lifestyle, this was all he knew, it was selected for him, then his brother who was his best friend his whole life betrays him. In his eyes he did nothing wrong and his brother comes home after years and unleashes hell on his home and country. But to Moses he has a goal to free his people and take revenge for what their father did. In the scene that Ramsey breaks and let’s them go he is hurt, he lost his brother and his son. It’s easy to understand why he decided to chase them down he has nothing to lose at that point. I love how a movie this old, and a Bible story at that, shows the nuance of good and evil better than almost all new movies.

The music combined with the animations for each plague, showcasing the power of God makes me tear up. It’s beautiful and it makes me appreciate the Lord more and more each time I see it.

Watched this at a young age....Still awesome

The individual plagues weren’t dealt out at random. Each was chosen as punishment in great part due to their symbolic significance: - Water Becomes Blood: Signifies God’s supremacy over Hapi, Egyptian god associated with the Nile who was the “water bearer.” - Frogs from the Nile: Illustrates God’s power over Heket, the Egyptian goddess of fertility, who had the head of a frog. - Lice from the Dust: Signifies God’s power over Geb, Egyptian god of the earth/land. - Swarms of Flies: Shows God’s authority over Khepri, Egyptian god of creation with the head of a fly/scarab/insect. - Death of the Livestock: Shows God’s victory over Hathor, Egyptian goddess of love usually depicted with a cow head and is closely associated with cattle. - Boils and Sores: Represents God’s power over Isis, Egyptian goddess of medicine, magic, and peace. - Burning Hail: Signifies God’s dominion over Nut, Egyptian goddess of the sky. - Hoards of Locusts: Illustrates God’s supremacy over Seth/Set; Egyptian god of destruction, storms, and disorder. - Three Days of Absolute Darkness: Represents God’s supremacy over Ra, the Egyptian sun god. Possibly also demonstrates superiority over Aten (another solar deity) and maybe Thoth (deity of knowledge and the moon). - Death of the First Born: Signifies God’s authority over Osiris (Egyptian god of the afterlife), Horus (Deity closely associated with Pharaohs and life itself), Anubis (Egyptian god of the dead), and Pharaoh (the “highest authority” of Egypt).

The scariest part of this Song alone is that fact that its both amazing, yet ruthless. We're literally seeing the Wrath of God HimSelf.

This feels a bit relevant considering last weekends events.

I love the quality to Ramses voice. It's not conventionally polished or full like Moses's, but it's still somehow pretty and extremely satisfying to listen to. It's like it's lacking the warmth and roundness of Moses's and instead is jagged and cold, but makes up for it in character. Moses is Tiger Eye, Ramses is Obsidian. It fits their characters perfectly.

DreamWorks has this habit of taking ideas that shouldn't work, and then making them amazing. THIS is hands down the studios masterpiece. This is Dreamwork's Lion King. I had no idea that Ralph Fiennes or Val Kilmer could sing before I heard this song. This single sequence is as good as, if not better than most Disney musical numbers.

Prince of Egypt is just...such an epic masterpiece. I get goosebumps just listening to the songs from the film.

2:00 is the best part of any song I have ever heard. The sheer buildup of the trumpets and horns to the "I WILL NEVER LET YOUR PEOPLE GO" going along with it. This movie was engineered in where it could beat any other disney movie with ease

I wish DreamWorks made a movie about Queen Esther. I mean she was one of the greatest heroines in the bible and her love story with the King of Persia was very romantic.

The story in the movie, while focussed on Moses, is an adaption to the true Book of Moses. A few examples can be that Moses' brother, Aaron, is not present with Moses at all in the film - he is with Miriam. But the Bible tells us that it is in fact Aaron who speaks on God's behalf to Pharaoh, with his staff, and Moses is with him. Another is that Pharaoh wished to kill Moses after the accidental death of another Egyptian, which is why he fled. I believe there are many other adaptions in the film, but I can't quite remember the film itself. I believe this is what STCooper1 is referring to.

This movie was gold literal gold it’s so unbelievably underrated the songs,the animation,the voice actors,the work they put into this it’s just amazing

Out of all the plauges, the very last one has always been terrifying. There was no sound or sign of it at all, it just went into the houses that weren't coverd in lamb's blood and took the breath of the eldest children. Since Rameses only had one child it totaled him. It's sad because even though he watched Egypt get ravaged by the first plauges, it took the death of his only son for him to budge. Most stubborn man ever.

It's so sad and victorious all at the same time. And the musical counterpoint chosen to portray the emotional and spiritual back and forth battle between good and evil, and Moses and Rameses was epic genius!!

I love the use of harmony and unison in Prince of Egypt. In music, harmony is generally used to symbolise compleity,to symbolise unity. In the final line has Moses and Rameses singing the same note, there is no sense of them working together but moreso competing against one another - just as the film shows. So much thought and detail went into literally every scene and line of this movie. Takes my breath away every time.

This song really embodies how you can view the story. You can view it as a beautifully made and told biblically story or as family drama between 2 brothers that were once everything to each other torn apart because of ideological differences.

Fun Fact: The Idea for the Film was inspired by a cancelled Disney adaptation of the Exodus story. Context: DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, during its Disney work, presented an animated adaptation of the 1956 movie "The Ten Commandents" to Walt Disney Studios CEO Michael Eisner, but Eisner denied it, and Disney was yet to pitch the idea, until, it got cancelled.
