Some of that shines through in this screenplay. It’s the foundational journal of the Jews in many respects, and a broadly inspirational one as wella story of a people striving for freedom. From acclaimed director Ridley Scott comes the epic tale of one mans daring courage to take on the might of an empire.
It alludes to some verses in Exodus, but the creative license used to add life to the biblical text largely failed.
My Impression of the Film I believe the movie sucks out most of the life of the biblical account. After a few breathless, scaled-up set pieces, the film whimpers, ending with Moses on the move with his tribe, having engraved the 10 Commandments. Exodus: Gods and Kings is, of course, based (sometimes quite loosely) on the biblical book of Exodus. A review of Exodus: Gods and Kings will be posted tomorrow. Scott also delivers large-scale battle scenes leading to the climactic crossing of the drained-out Red Sea with Ramses and his army close on the heels of the fleeing thousands. Visually most dramatic are the scenes of the Biblical plagues-unleashed by God (presented as a boy child) on Egypt to force the release of the slaves: Water is turned into blood, livestock is inflicted with a fatal disease, the kingdom is overrun by frogs and locusts, and the life is sucked out of firstborns. His identity crisis, underlined by a questioning of his faith, sets him off on a dangerous path which leads to the realization that he must indeed free his people and guide them to safety.
Exiled from Memphis, the capital, Moses begins a long journey, finally settling down in an idyllic village, marrying a local girl and living the life of a shepherd. This movie is 2 hr 30 min in duration and is available in English language. The story of Moses rising up against the Pharaoh Ramses and leading hundreds of thousands of Hebrew slaves out of Egypt to freedom is one with which we’re. Exodus: Gods and Kings was released on and was directed by Ridley Scott. Ramses (Joel Edgerton) takes over as the Pharaoh and Moses discovers his true identity-not a high-born, but a Hebrew. A numbing and soulless spectacle of 3-D, computer-generated imagery run amok, Ridley Scott ’s Exodus: Gods and Kings presents an enduring tale by pummeling us over the head with it. The action unfolds at a time when Hebrews have been enslaved for around 400 years.
