But some insults enslaved man, this film is about Egypt's that time when Pharaoh of Egypt had made slave the Israelites living there, they used to build their city by oppressing them, Israelites follow Abraham's religion they believe a messiah from God will free them from Pharaoh.

He is the son of Israelites. She also showed the cloth in which Moses was raped in his when they found him. Nefretiri killed Memnat to make it secret but at that time Moses arrives and finds that cloth. On his several asking Nefretiri reveal the truth that he is the son of Youshabel not Bithiah.

This is a contender for the title of 'Most Overrated Film Of All Time'. It is a blatant propaganda piece attempting to sell outdated morality to the masses. I could go into great detail about the lack of evidence for the existence of 'god' or the fact that he comes across as a mary-sue space fascist, but I won't. I will briefly state that this is why I hate 'historical' (used loosely here) epics, and that this gets all the attention for the year that gave us more enduring classics such as 'the she-creature', 'the mole people', 'the creature walks among us', 'it conquered the world', 'invasion of the body snatchers', 'earth vs the flying saucers', 'x the unknown' or my personal favourite: 'uchūjin tokyo ni arawaru'. 0/10. would not recommend; watch 'cecil. b. demented' instead

The epic retelling of the incredible Exodus from Egypt by the Hebrew Nation. The story of Passover. Wikipedia may be wrong about how many times this movie has aired. I seem to remember 2-night broadcasts as far back as circa 1970, always on ABC(?) It was "split" as Moses was cast into the dessert by Pharaoh. The real intermission occurs about 20 minutes later, as released. Several minor edits for TV include the infamous opening scene when a guard runs his sword through a first born Hebrew child. Some (apparently code objectionable) harsh language between Pharaoh and his betrothed is also cut, with reference to him treating her like property or an animal. Such edits are minor. Unintentionally funny in spots, with various English accents and catch-phrases. Often regarded as a work of fiction by many, every attempt was make to make it as historically accurate as possible, using biblical and rabbinical works as well. Thousands of extras. Lustfully done, with some slightly "salty" language and rather melodramatic staging and dialog. Attempts to successfully remake this classic have (usually) failed, due to the extremely vivid performances by the actors. Multiple well-deserved awards and a rousing musical score by Elmer Bernstein. Wonderful costumes, amazing sets, impossibly rich Technicolor, and stunning cinematography. The parting of the Red Sea was later "colorized" as bluer for re-release. In the original, it was more greenish. One of the most famous and effective optical special effects of all time. Also, still one of the top grossing films of all time at the time of its release. No animation studio is credited with its special effects, so it is assumed to have been all "in-house". Cecil B.DeMille's finest and final film, and he died soon after completing it. It cannot be truly appreciated on even a "giant" home screen or a typical multiplex. I saw it in the "60's" re-release in "Super-Panavison" in an old theater with a huge screen!

This is a long film with overly theatrical performances and a story that you know well enough for there to be few surprises. Some of the modifications and additions to the general story of Moses are clichéed and unnecessary. As a story, this movie is not interesting. And the performances are often grand, but foreign to a modern audience, as they're not going for realism.But all of that feels almost like despite the point. This was a huge production of biblical (sorry) proportions. There are huge sets, enormous crowds, huge special effects, heroic stances, amazing locations and a big orchestra soundtrack. There is nothing small about this movie. It was crazy expensive, and the last movie of a Hollywood legend. And the story is one of the oldest ones that we have. Because of all of this, the movie is still more than worth watching, especially if you like film.And there are some things going for it, other than the spectacle. Despite being a long film with a known story, it does manage to hold you through it all. While strange today, some of the performances are quite good, considered what they were going for. It's a joy to hear Heston proclaim "Let my people go", and all of the villainous characters are also great fun. It's at times visually stunning, and I would love to see a movie like this in an actual theater. It's also interesting (though not always good) how they have made changes to the story.I can't imagine watching this movie yearly (as many do), but it's a fantastic production, and I wish modern movies could feel as grand as this. The closest thing I can imagine, is the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
